Welcome to Picturesque Stay – your peaceful retreat in northern Madeira. Located in Cruz da Guarda, just 5 minutes from Porto da Cruz, the house blends modern comfort with the calm rhythm of village life. Surrounded by nature and with views of Eagle Rock, it’s perfect for couples, nature lovers, and remote workers.

Madeira is my soul place – a destination that truly feels like home. I love traveling and discovering unique stays around the world, which inspires me to create a warm and memorable experience for my guests. Hosting allows me to share the magic of this island and connect with people from all walks of life. I believe in the power of small touches, genuine hospitality, and making sure every guest feels welcome and relaxed from the moment they arrive.

Our home is located in a quiet, authentic rural village where only locals live – far from the tourist crowds. It’s a peaceful place where you can truly experience the charm of Madeiran countryside life. A car is recommended for comfort and flexibility, but you can also reach the nearby seaside town on foot via a small village road. Walking back uphill is a bit of a workout – but personally, I enjoy it! Down in the town, you’ll find surf schools, a traditional rum distillery, and some great local restaurants – a perfect mix of nature, culture, and coastal energy.
