Casa do Lanço - Verdelho, wine and laurissilva

Fantastic vacation home with shared swimming pool and sauna for a unique experience between wine and forest.

Casa do Lanço is part of a 25,000m² vineyard estate in a transition zone between the Laurissilva 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 set in a group of houses where you'll find several gardens with centuries-old trees, including a large oak tree over 250 years old and several endemic species of laurel forest such as tis, vinháticos, barbusanos, and loureiros. The house is decorated with various details, in a fusion between classic and contemporary, following the tradition of a family home. It has a bedroom with two traditional-style single beds and an access door to the outside, so you can wake up to a fantastic view of the yard and gardens. Inside the property, you can enjoy the shared swimming pool and sauna, stroll along the stream and gardens, or relax in the backyard, where you can have breakfast (not included), prepared every morning by the caretaker. During your stay, you can take part in the viticulture process at harvest time or buy the wines available at the house. AREA The house is located in the north of the island, in Rosário, a parish in the municipality of São Vicente. As it is in a more isolated area, there are no shops nearby. A ten-minute drive from the town of São Vicente, you'll find local shops, restaurants, a supermarket, and a pharmacy. In the vicinity, you have access to several trails and levadas, perfect for exploring the island on foot. Funchal is a 45-minute drive away.
