About Madeira/Câmara de Lobos
The bay is the centre of Câmara de Lobos, a town with a centuries-old fishing tradition and traditional Xavelhas boats in the cove. It was the first settlement created on Madeira, and Winston Churchill painted the bay on a visit. The municipality is larger than the harbour suggests, with around 35,000 residents across five parishes, Curral das Freiras among them. Our homes sit close together around the town. Most sleep around five, and some have a private pool or a garden. Evenings mean a meal out rather than nightlife, so check restaurant opening times before an off-season visit.
