Canico

The Portuguese island of Madeira is about 57km long and 22km wide and its largest town, Funchal is just 9 km away from Caniço. Caniço village and the resort of Caniço de Baixo offer all the facilities any holidaymaker will need during their stay on this beautifully rugged island. The village is the ideal setting for a range of hotels and apartment and provides fabulous views of the Atlantic Ocean at its most dramatic. Tennis and golf are a short drive away and the commercial area of the village houses a good selection of shops, cafes and restaurants. Leisure amenities and cultural attractions are freely available in this part of the delightful village which ensures that every need will be met during your stay. Due to the pleasant, year-round climate on the island, tourism is not restricted to high season and this is especially true of the resort which is only a few minutes away from the idyllic village. Caniço de Baixo has its own shops, restaurants, freshwater and seawater swimming pools and diving school as well as health and fitness facilities. This resort is steadily growing in both size and popularity but it still offers the visitor relaxation (or rejuvenation) on the fringes of nature.
