On the vineyard terraces we can see the Tinta Negra and Verdelho grape varieties, which produce the famous Madeira Wine. The property is inserted in a set of houses where you can find several gardens with centenary trees, a large oak tree over 250 years old stands out. According to several historians, this oak is one of the first trees planted in Madeira Island. Many endemic species of Laurissilva such as Madeira laurels, vinháticos, barbusans and laurels can be found on the property. The house has a simple, rural and functional decoration, doing justice to history but with all the comfort for the guests. The property has three bedrooms, two with double bed, one with two single beds and all rooms with private bathroom. The spacious living room has a fireplace where you can enjoy the conviviality of your family or friends. Next to the house, there is an annex, a completely renovated old cabin that can accommodate two more people. Inside the property you can enjoy a walk by the river, the gardens or the yard outside, which allows you to have breakfast (not included), made every morning by the housekeeper, Irene. In addition to breakfast, you can order the famous bread rolls or the caldo da romaria soup. During your stay you can take the opportunity to participate in the viticulture process, at the time of harvest, or purchase the wines available in the house. Area The house is located in the north area of the island, more precisely in Rosário, parish of the municipality of São Vicente. Because it is located in a more isolated area, there is no services or commerce in the vicinity of the property. In the village of São Vicente, ten minutes by car, you will find local shops, restaurants, supermarket and pharmacy. Near the house you have access to trails and levadas, where you can enjoy walking and exploring our fantastic island. The city of Funchal is 45 minutes away by car. Getting around The best option to get home will be the transfer. Ask us to book one with our local partners. It is cheaper than the taxis you find at the airport. If you rent a car, any navigation application will find the street. Access to property You have access to all areas of the property. Interaction We are always available to help or answer questions.

It’s a big house, beautiful furniture and very cozy. The property is in the middle of the laurissilva forest and all you hear is the birds and nature all around you. The kids loved the chickens, goats and sheep and, of course, had a lot of fun on the cool pool overlooking the vineyard! We all loved it! ##### André L.

This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Peter M. 9 Aug 2023 #### Restructuring going on, avoid if you want a calm place Be aware that the owner is doing restructuring works in the lower floor of the house and this is not mentioned anywhere. Being woken up by power tools at 08:30 just below your bed during your holidays is simply not acceptable. The beautiful terrace was also occupied by workers as it was being repainted. Unfortunately this influences completely our evaluation. Only 1 star for a place that deserves at least 4 stars or more. This place should not be for rent during restructuring works. ##### Peter M. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Miguel B. 14 Nov 2023 #### Excelente Local bucólico, confortável e aconchegante.
