The bewitching isle of Madeira rises up from the sparkling waves of the Atlantic Ocean like an emerald jewel. Boasting a balmy, sub-tropical climate, Madeira is renowned for its stunning scenery, simply overflowing with exotic flora. Awash with colour throughout the year, Madeira is affectionately called the 'Floating Garden'. Dramatic mountains overlook terracotta-roofed villages and vineyards heavy with grapes while lush meadows, speckled with fuchsia pink and bright orange blooms, spill down valleys and volcanic hillsides to a dramatic coastline lapped by waters of deepest blue.
