About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Casa do Lanço - Tinta Negra, wine and laurissilva.
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.

Peaceful Location on the North Coast
Quiet, clean, in the middle of forest and agriculture. Manager Linda was helpful in providing us with kitchen items lacking in the property. She also provided a lovely fruit basket and some food staples on arrival that were most welcome as well as giving us a contact for a taxi transfer.

Beautiful Casa in great location to explore the island
We had a fantastic time at this lovely villa up in the cloudy hills. The north side of the island is very green with stunning views. The kitchen is well equipped and internet works fast. Hope to return one day
Loved it!

Leider nicht wie erwartet
Wie wurden leider bereits direkt bei der Ankunft enttäuscht, da wir laut der Beschreibung und den Fotos von einem Ferienhaus ausgegangen sind, das einem Einfamilienhaus entspricht. Das Haus hatte allerdings zwei Eingänge und somit haben wir uns das Haus mit einer anderen Partei geteilt (räumliche Trennung gegeben). Wir haben Lanco II gebucht und sind morgens immer an den Fenstern unserer Nachbarn von Lanco I entlanggegangen. Die auf den Fotos abgebildete Terrasse gehört zu Lanco I, zumindest richtet sich das Wohnzimmerfenster von Lanco I auf diese Terrasse, sodass, untergebracht in Lanco II, leider keine Möglichkeit zum gemütlichen draußen Sitzen besteht. Das fanden wir sehr schade, weil wir im Sommer gerne draußen frühstücken und diese Unterkunft u.a. deswegen gebucht haben.
Sowohl die Beschreibung des Inserats als auch die Fotos sind somit nicht eindeutig der Unterkunft „Lanco II“ zuzuordnen, was sehr unglücklich ist. Unter diesen Umständen hätten wir diese Unterkunft nämlich gar nicht gebucht.
Ansonsten ist bei einem solchen Arrangement nicht unerheblich, dass man gut mit den Nachbarn auskommt. Wir sind uns zum Glück meistens nicht in die Quere gekommen, aber zwei Tage lang roch unsere Unterkunft sehr unangenehm, weil unsere Nachbarn irgendetwas Geruchsintensives gekocht haben. Dem Gesamtaufenthalt ist es zumindest nicht dienlich, wenn die Bewohner ihre Unterkunft wegen des Gestanks morgens Hals über Kopf verlassen müssen und nachts nicht schlafen können.
Ansonsten verfügt die Wohnung über alle wesentlichen Ausstattungsmerkmale. Das Wohnzimmer ist leider etwas dunkel und das Bad empfanden wir auch als sehr enttäuschend. Es war dunkel und feucht und die Klobrille war beschädigt (rutschte hin und her, wenn man sich darauf gesetzt hat).
Es gibt zwei kleine Hunde auf dem Anwesen, die die Terrasse für ihre Geschäfte nutzen. Ansonsten gibt es in der Nachbarschaft viele Hunde, sodass die ganze Zeit ein Hundegebell zu hören ist. Da wir allerdings immer unterwegs waren, hat uns das wenig gestört.
Die Lage ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt, um in alle Teile der Insel zu gelangen, erfordert allerdings einen Mietwagen. Zu Fuß ist auf die Schnelle kein Restaurant und auch kein Supermarkt zu erreichen. Dafür nach einer ca. 10-minütigen Autofahrt.
