Hi, I’m Maria Diana! I’m a psychologist by profession, originally from Venezuela but with Portuguese roots. After living 7 years in the United States, I’m now happily settled in Madeira with my husband and our two children. Hosting gives me the joy of meeting people from all over the world and helping them feel at home in our beautiful island. I love sharing local tips and making sure every guest has a warm, comfortable, and memorable stay.

Emerald Scape is located in Garajau, one of Madeira’s most sought-after coastal areas, known for its breathtaking ocean views, relaxed atmosphere, and easy accessibility. Guests especially appreciate the balance Garajau offers — peaceful surroundings with plenty of amenities nearby, and at the same time, quick access to the island’s vibrant capital. The neighborhood is home to the Cristo Rei statue, one of Madeira’s most iconic landmarks. From there, you can admire panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and even take a scenic cable car ride down to the Garajau beach, a beautiful pebble beach with crystal-clear waters, part of the Garajau Nature Reserve. This reserve is famous among divers and snorkelers worldwide for its rich marine life and protected waters. Within walking distance, you’ll find cafés, bakeries, and restaurants offering everything from fresh seafood to traditional Madeira dishes like espetada and bolo do caco. There are also supermarkets, pharmacies, and small local shops to make your stay convenient. Garajau’s location is another highlight: it’s just 10 minutes by car from Funchal, where you can explore museums, markets, botanical gardens, and a lively nightlife scene, and only 15 minutes from Madeira’s airport, making arrivals and departures stress-free. The neighborhood is also an excellent starting point for day trips — whether you want to hike in the Laurissilva forest (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), explore the famous Levadas, or visit charming villages like Machico and Camacha. For travelers looking for a mix of relaxation, convenience, and adventure, Garajau is an unbeatable choice. It offers a calm coastal vibe where you can unwind after exploring the island, while still being close to everything Madeira has to offer.
