Os Ferreirinhos, a Home in Madeira

The “Kiwi House” property includes the main house “Os Ferrerinhos” and a second accommodation unit “O Lagar do Avô”, with independent use, which can accommodate a total of 14 guests in the two accommodations.
The main house was built in the 1930s and was more recently expanded and adapted for tourist accommodation, ensuring comfort conditions and sustainability principles in the management of energy, water and waste, but retaining several elements of authenticity of rural houses of the mid-twentieth century, namely furniture, windows, doors, floors and ceilings. The second building has a more modern construction but preserves in the living room an authentic wine press, which was used for decades by the family, and which today evokes the memory of the grandfather.
The property has been in the family for three generations and has been a family home and a regular meeting place for grandparents, children and grandchildren, especially at Christmas.
This property is in a rural environment that maintains traditional farming practices and has a wide view of the surrounding agricultural land, the mountains and the sea, where it is sometimes possible to see the island of Porto Santo.
Os Ferreirinhos is an independent house with an area of 200 m2 and comprises four bedrooms on the upper floor with a double bed and a private bathroom, plus a bedroom on the ground floor with a small double bed, a bathroom, an office space with a desk, a living room and a spacious kitchen with a dining table. The house also has a terrace with a wide view of the farmland, mountains and sea.
This house is equipped with air conditioning in some spaces, a fridge, stove, microwave, dishwasher and kitchen utensils, as well as bed linen, towels, Wi-Fi, TV with international and children's channels, and other amenities to provide a pleasant and relaxed stay.
