High above the spray and right back at sea level, Câmara de Lobos reveals two faces as soon as you leave Funchal. Painted skiffs called xavelhas still line the pebbles where Winston Churchill set up his easel near the Ermida da Nazaré. The Atlantic pounds below Cabo Girão, a 580‑meter wall that guides espada fishermen home. Just beyond, family adegas keep American oak pipes resting for decades, turning Sercial or Malvasia—certified by IVBAM—into wines laced with walnut, citrus peel, and a faint saline edge.
Your Amani Limousines driver collects you in Funchal, then it’s a 15‑minute glide west to the harbor while you relax; we handle access and waiting so you can explore. Start with a dry Sercial aperitif in a historic lodge, continue with espada and banana for lunch on the quay, then step onto the Cabo Girão Skywalk at 589 m for a glass‑bottom view. The vehicle stays on call: swing by Praia Formosa or pause for photos facing Fajã dos Padres, depending on light and weather.

Your chauffeur’s tip
Time Cabo Girão before 11:00 on weekdays for fewer coaches and raking light that reveals the levadas and terraces below. Book the lodge if you want a specific vintage (Frasqueira) by the glass.
