This delightful holiday destination is divided into two areas that give you a taste of the tradition and the typical tourist resort and a rented serviced apartment or holiday letting in Canico allows you to experience the best of both worlds.

The main village is situated on the hillside, 1½ miles inland and the resort, Baixo Canico or lower Canico, is on the coast. Here you can enjoy a variety of water-sports including snorkelling and scuba diving and explore this region’s underwater world with it’s rich and varied marine life. The promenade makes a wonderful place for an afternoon stroll and a stop at one of the cafes or restaurants here gives you the perfect vantage point for admiring the wonderful views. Baixo Canico’s beach is fairly small but is excellent for swimming and the black volcanic rocks that surround the shore are really quite spectacular.

Canico village is much more traditional and full of old world charm and wonderful architecture. This quaint village, with it’s streets winding up through the hills, offers a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere making this the ideal area for renting a serviced residence or aparthotel for those who just want to enjoy a few quiet days exploring the village and it’s beautiful natural surroundings.

This lovely village is centred around a pretty square and a 300 year old church of Baroque styling. There is also a fountain and aviary situated in the square and several bars scattered around the village as well as a few shops that should provide everything you need. If you can’t find what you are looking for then Fuchal, just 5 miles away, provides more shopping choice for those precious souvenirs and gifts for the home and there is a mini market in Baixo Canico.

An apartment rental or holiday let in Canico provides access to some really nice walks, you can follow the levada, an irrigation channel, and let it lead you through some lovely terrain or take a hike through the hills and admire the view below. If you take a wander through the valley you will be privy to some wonderful subtropical plants and vegetation. Why not pack up a picnic and make a day of it.

An ideal place for your evening meal that is within close proximity of your Canico service apartment is Habbeas Coppus. This restaurant serves delicious Portuguese cuisine, boasts an extensive wine list and has a traditional, friendly atmosphere. The steak on a hot stone is well worth trying.
