Prazeres holidays
With a name that translates as ‘pleasures’, this gorgeous green paradise has truly earned its title. If you’re looking for low-key on your Madeira holiday, then you’ve come to the right place – as a pocket of tranquillity awaits here in pretty-as-a-picture Prazeres.

Off-the-scale charming and bursting with character, it’ll woo you with its wonderful triangle-shaped houses, known as Casas Típicas de Santana – they’re as twee as can be!
