In the Laurissilva forest, Casa do Lanço

Casa do Lanço is located in a vineyard property of about 25.000m2 and is in a transition zone between the Laurissilva forest and the agricultural lands of São Vicente. On the vineyard terraces we can see the Tinta Negra and Verdelho grape varieties, which produce the famous Madeira Wine.

The property is inserted in a set of houses where you can find several gardens with centenary trees, a large oak tree over 250 years old stands out. According to several historians, this oak is one of the first trees planted in Madeira Island. Many endemic species of Laurissilva such as Madeira laurels, vinháticos, barbusans and laurels can be found on the property.

The house has a simple, rural and functional decoration, doing justice to history but with all the comfort for the guests. The property has three bedrooms, two with double bed, one with two single beds and all rooms with private bathroom. The spacious living room has a fireplace where you can enjoy the conviviality of your family or friends. Next to the house, there is an annex, a completely renovated old cabin that can accommodate two more people.

Inside the property you can enjoy a walk by the river, the gardens or the yard outside, which allows you to have breakfast (not included), made every morning by the housekeeper, Irene. In addition to breakfast, you can order the famous bread rolls or the caldo da romaria soup. During your stay you can take the opportunity to participate in the viticulture process, at the time of harvest, or purchase the wines available in the house.

Area

Near the house you have access to trails and levadas, where you can enjoy walking and exploring our fantastic island.

The city of Funchal is 45 minutes away by car.
