About this property

Casas da Luz - Casa da Mãe by Madeira Sun Travel

In the heart of a sunny area, where harmony between the rural environment and modern comforts come together to create a unique Rural Tourism experience, welcome to Casas da Luz!



This venture is an oasis of tranquillity, situated in a stunning setting that offers a spectacular view over the sea and the majestic surrounding mountains.



It is estimated that the main house of this venture was built in the nineteenth century, around the year 1880, and underwent reconstruction works in 1934. In the 1970s, the house was acquired by Agostinha da Luz and three generations of this family have grown up there to the present day. It is in honour of this matriarch that the name Casas da Luz arises. Between 2020 and 2023, this space of memories and tradition composed of the main house and the annexed buildings underwent requalification and expansion works, with special care taken in the conservation of the various elements that characterise traditional Madeiran houses, including the stone walls and the wine press, where wine is still produced annually. Divided into three welcoming units, each designed to provide maximum comfort and privacy: the Casa da Mãe, divided over two floors, offers three spacious bedrooms; the Casa da Latada located on the upper floor composed of two bedrooms and the Casa da Pedreira, located on the ground floor, has a large bedroom.



The Casa da Mãe, refuge of the Luz family for several years, is the perfect accommodation to provide family gatherings and unforgettable memories.



The accommodation has been renovated and furnished with refined taste, highlighting its modernity and the maintenance of excellent materials present from its origin. In its entrance hall, be enchanted by a spacious living room that extends to your dining area. You will also find a spacious and fully equipped kitchen prepared for the preparation of all your meals. To support this floor, we provide a WC. On your upper floor, all bedrooms with sea views and private balconies, equipped with private bathrooms and showers.



You will be treated to an infinity pool, the perfect place to relax, refresh yourself and enjoy a relaxing swim whilst appreciating the stunning view that only Casas da Luz can offer you!



For culinary enthusiasts, we offer a small vegetable garden and fruit trees to make your meals even more special. Feel at home and pick the freshest, healthiest and seasonal products and incorporate them into your recipes.



Your days can start in the best way! In the accommodation, we leave at your disposal all the products and ingredients necessary to prepare your own little breakfast, including a selection of local products. Thus, you can prepare it to your taste, at your own pace and enjoy a truly special morning.



To make your stay even more comfortable, we provide, upon request, an additional cleaning service.



Furthermore, all our common areas will be cleaned daily, providing you with an immaculate and pleasant environment.



This rural tourism enterprise is the ideal retreat for those seeking a relaxing getaway with quality, traditional and typical Madeiran amenities. Here, you can connect with nature, enjoy picturesque views and experience the charm of country life, whilst enjoying comfort and convenience.



Guests are responsible for the proper use of the accommodation and its respective equipment. Damage, loss or misuse identified during or after the stay may be subject to the application of a damage fee, intended to cover repair, replacement or extraordinary cleaning costs.



Since 2017, we have welcomed travellers from all over the world to our beloved island of Madeira, with a commitment to providing memorable experiences and excellent service. We started as Madeira Sun Travel, a name that reflected the sun, comfort and welcoming spirit that has always guided us.



Over time, we realised that we wanted to go further: more closeness, more authenticity, more connection.



That's how Homie was born. More than a new name - a new way of being.



At Homie, we believe that travelling is more than discovering new places - it's feeling at home, even far from it. That's why we don't just hand over keys: we offer warm welcomes, recommendations that turn into unforgettable discoveries and accommodation cared for with the same affection we would give to our own home.



Each stay is thought through in detail to be special and welcoming. Each house has its own story. And each guest is welcomed like an old friend.



Our team, composed of specialists in hospitality, communication, finance, maintenance and design, is committed to caring for every stage of the experience - from pre-booking to check-out. We work every day to create stays that leave you longing for more.



We are recognised for our personalised attention, for the trust of the property owners who choose us to manage their spaces and for the positive reviews of our guests, which reflect the quality of the service we provide.



Beyond comfort and hospitality, we also provide, upon request, additional services such as car hire, activity bookings, personalised experiences and much more - all so you can make the most of Madeira.



Whether you're a traveller looking for a special spot or a property owner looking for someone to care for your home with dedication, you're in the right place.



We also inform you that check-ins after 22:00 have an extra fee of €20, paid to our host at the time of check-in.



Homie - Your home away from home, on the beautiful island of Madeira.

Fantastic stay

Everything is just right here. The accommodation is new, clean, spacious and well laid out. The location is perfect for a relaxing stay in the middle of banana plantations. The infinity pool is a dream. The view is breathtaking, both towards the sea and the neighboring valley. The hostess offers a fantastic service with home-grown fruit and vegetables, bread, coffee and much more. Requests are dealt with immediately. From the hostess as well as from the employees of Madeira Sun Travel. Many thanks for a very relaxing stay. We will definitely be back. Sabine and Horst

House with a view

The house is as pictured. It felt like a fairly new home and had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The owners were so sweet and left what felt like a welcome tray of delicious treats (fruits, milk, eggs, bread and more). The infinity pool was beautiful. The only unexpected thing was being unable to flush toilet paper into the toilets. It seems like a common practice to throw tissue in the bin instead of the toilet in public places around the island. I didn’t expect this in our accommodations. I guess I am a city girl at heart. Overall, our stay was lovely and the owners were super hospitable. This is my second visit to Madeira and the island is welcoming.

Ein Zuhause auf Zeit

Sehr freundliche Begrüßung mit ausführlichem Rundgang im Haus, Gelände/Garten. Wunderbarer Meerblick von allen Schlafzimmern und der Terasse. Sehr gepflegt und sauber, inklusive Poolbereich. Gute Kommunikation mit Homie und wenn es mal ein Anliegen gab, rasche Rückmeldung und Erledigung. Umfangreiches Angebot an Kräutern und Zitrusfrüchten auf dem Gelände. Sehr angenehmer/herzlicher Kontakt mit den Besitzern. Da wir viel gekocht haben: Eine schmale hohe und eine breite Rührschüssel wären toll.

Een onvergetelijke vakantie

Alles maar dan ook alles was in orde. Een vriendelijke ontvangst. Een prachtig verblijf. De mama was heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Het huis voor 6 personen is zeer goed uitgerust. Alles is voorzien. Het zwembad is zalig. De omgeving heeft veel te bieden. We hebben wandelingen gedaan en dolfijnen gaan spotten. Ponta do Sol is een leuk dorp. Eigenlijk niets, het is al super goed!
