Vivenda Belo Horizonte is set in a magnificent position with an uninterrupted 180º view over and across the Atlantic ocean. (See, for example, the montage of photos that forms the top part of this page). The two storey house sits on a cliff above the pristine Garajau Natural Sea Reserve (very popular with diving enthusiasts - see the picture below). This is a protected nature site and is home to special fish, indigenous birds and even the rare Mediterranean monk seal that swims in the area from its base in the Desertas Islands as it searches for food.

Vivenda Belo Horizonte is part of the exclusive "Christo Rei" section of Garajau. Garajau itself is the first suburb after Funchal in Santa Cruz and has become a very sought after residential area due to the numerous facilities, the excellent pleasant weather, and proximity to easy roads that lead you into Funchal quite quickly and effortlessly.

Vivenda Belo Horizonte is 13 kilometres from the Airport, 9 kilometres from the Funchal town centre and 20 kilometres from the Santo da Serra golf club.

It is also 1000 metres away from local Restaurants (some very good ones - "Casa Portuguesa" and "O Franco's"), bars, kiosks, bakery, supermarket, rent-a-car and tourism agencies. Another 1,500 metres away diving schools, gym facilities, and sea shore swimming is available. Tennis courts next door to the Vivenda can be rented out by booking with the Dom Pedro Garajau hotel. Sight seeing and walking tours can also be arranged.
