Casa do Lanço - Tinta Negra, wine and laurissilva.

A fantastic vacation home with a shared 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 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 set in a group of houses where you'll find several gardens with centenary 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 many details, in a fusion between classic and contemporary, which follows the tradition of a family home. The house has a bedroom with two traditional-style single beds, with an access door to the outside, so you can wake up to a fantastic view of the yard and gardens of the house. Inside the property you can enjoy the shared swimming pool and sauna, 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. During your stay you can take the opportunity to take part in the viticulture process or buy the wines available at the house. 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.
