Set in a vineyard estate of around 25,000m2, it is located in a transition zone between the laurel forest and the farmland of São Vicente. The terraced vineyards are home to the Tinta Negra and Verdelho grape varieties, which produce the famous Madeira wine. The property is part of a group of houses where you'll find a shared swimming pool and several gardens with centuries-old trees, including a large oak tree over 250 years old and several species endemic to the Laurissilva such as tis, vinháticos, barbusanos and loureiros. The house is decorated with various details, in a fusion of the classic and the contemporary, in keeping with the tradition of a family home. The property has capacity for 4 people, with a bedroom, a bathroom with shower and a sofa bed. Inside the property you can enjoy the shared swimming pool, a stroll along the stream and the gardens or the yard outside, where you can have breakfast (not included), made every morning by the caretaker. The main house has belonged to the same family since its inception and retains its original architecture, although it has undergone improvements and modernization.
AREA
The house is located in the north of the island, more precisely in Rosário, a parish in the municipality of São Vicente. As it is in a more isolated area, there are no shops in the vicinity of the property. A ten-minute drive from the town of São Vicente, you'll find local shops, restaurants, a supermarket and a pharmacy. In the vicinity of the house you have access to several trails and levadas, where you can take the opportunity to stroll and explore our fantastic island on foot. If you want to find other places or activities, the city of Funchal is a 45-minute drive away.
GETTING AROUND
The best option to get to the property 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 app can easily find the address. There is a bus stop 2 minutes walk from the apartment.

The accommodation is identical to the photos. The bedding is very comfortable and the garden with the swimming pool is superb. We had a pleasant stay with our family and we would be happy to come back.
