A fantastic vacation home with a shared pool and sauna, for a unique experience between wine and forest.

Casa do Lanço forms part of a vineyard estate covering approximately 25,000 m² and is situated in a transitional zone between the laurel forest and the farmland of São Vicente. On the terraced vineyards, one can see the Tinta Negra and Verdelho grape varieties, which are used to produce the famous Madeira wine. The property is part of a cluster of houses featuring several gardens with centuries-old trees, notably a large oak tree over 250 years old and various species endemic to the laurel forest, such as tis, vinháticos, barbusanos and laurel trees. The house is decorated with numerous intricate details, blending classic and contemporary styles whilst retaining all the tradition of a family home. The house features a bedroom with two traditional-style single beds, with a door leading outside, so you can wake up to a fantastic view of the property’s courtyard and gardens. On the property, you can enjoy the shared swimming pool and sauna, a stroll along the riverbank, and the gardens or the courtyard. During your stay, you can take the opportunity to get involved in the winemaking process or purchase the wines available at the house. The main house has belonged to the same family since it was first built and retains its original architecture, although it has undergone refurbishment and modernisation. 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 in the vicinity. 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. The city of Funchal is a 45-minute drive away.
