Welcome to Ribeira Roots Residence! Discover a unique lodging experience rooted in a house with a local family's history, situated in an authentic agricultural space. Just 600 meters from the center of Santa Cruz, this accommodation is based in a typical Madeiran house from the 1930s, expanded over time to reflect the needs and resources available. Here, tradition and modernity combine harmoniously to provide you with the well-deserved refuge and rest. At the heart of this project is the agricultural culture still existing in Ribeira. The house, equipped with 2 bedrooms and a shared balcony, has the potential to expand to 5 bedrooms, transforming the current configuration into a tourist project that revives the memories of the elders. During your stay, do not be surprised by the visits to tend to the plantation or perform maintenance. You will be able to observe the dedication in the cultivation maintenance up close and, very likely, witness the manual harvesting of banana bunches, carried out by the local cooperative. Our vision is to offer a tranquil and welcoming environment where you can enjoy the sea view along with the serenity of the mountains. Ribeira Roots Residence is more than just an accommodation; it is an invitation to connect with nature and the local culture. Renovated in 2020, the house opened its doors as local accommodation in 2024, ready to welcome you with all the comfort and authenticity. Come experience Ribeira Roots Residence, where history continues.
Just 5 minutes from Cristiano Ronaldo Madeira International Airport – yes, you read that right, only 5 minutes! Our cozy residence is strategically positioned to give you quick access to everything essential. Close to the famous "Praia das Palmeiras," a local pebble beach, our location is not just about proximity to the airport; it’s about the convenience of having everything you need within reach. From a health center, pharmacy, schools, Public Security Police, court, Aquaparque, and even quick access to the Madeira expressway (VR1), we’ve got it all covered. Staying here isn’t just about having a house; it’s about having all conveniences at your doorstep!
