Casas Valleparaizo - Casa do Alho
In Madeira Island, in the verdant parish of Camacha you can find some charming cottages, true jewels of Rural Tourism, located in an ancient agricultural property in Vale Paraíso. Casas Valleparaízo invite all the family to experience the authenticity of country life in an environment surrounded by orchards, gardens, birds and farm animals. Any nature-loving visitor will feel at home with us, whether he is thinking of having restful vacations or having ones filled with physical activity. Casas Valleparaízo, which were, in their early years, supporting houses for the local agriculture, and whose construction goes back to two hundred years ago, were, in the late nineties, put to use for tourist exploration, offering its guests the genuine experience of being in the midst of country nature.
Casas Valleparaízo are composed of nine cottages, charmingly inserted in an idyllic atmosphere full of fruit trees, flowers and animals, and located at Vale Paraíso, in Camacha Village. This rural tourism gemstone promises a pleasant experience of privacy and quietness, an escape from labour turmoil and everyday life to all nature lovers. For those who covet a fruitful family journey, the lodge offers all sorts of fun for the whole family, with its pretty gardens and farm animals, which will undoubtedly be a source of entertainment for the children. Casas Valleparaízo invite the whole family to experience the authenticity of country life in an environment surrounded by orchards, gardens, birds and farm animals, and we remind our guests that pets are allowed.
In a general way, the lodge is equipped with a hair dryer, lantern, refrigerator, microwave oven, electric cooker (Eira, Palheirinho, Levadinha and Campo), gas-stove (Alho, Vaquinha, Pinhas and Maçã), kettle, toaster, individual beds, bath tub and shower, electrical towel-rack, electric heating in rooms and living-rooms, and the Lodge also offers delightful garden, furnished with a table, chairs and chaise-longue for the leisure moments.

Truly Paradise
As the name implies, this was an excellent place to get to know Madeira. The grounds of this property is truly a gardener’s paradise with *labeled* endemic Madeiran species as well as exotics, including massive rhododendrons. The home itself was very clean and cozy with all the comforts needed. Located very close to town with shopping center, restaurants, etc. The children loved exploring the levadas and trails, and especially loved the peacocks! We will certainly be staying here again on our next trip to Madeira.

Wonderful tranquil house located in botanical garden
Sofia's house was simply dream come true. It is located in very well maintained botanical garden, away from any city sounds. You'll be awakened by the bird's songs and nice sun. You can spend the evening with friends around the fireplace with some wine and sit around during the day in the gardens or the levada walks that start just 25m away from your doorstep!

Ruime, mooie woning op een prachtig terrein. Duidelijke instructies en informatie.Alles helemaal naar wens. Het enige minpuntje was de vochtigheidsgraad in de woning. Er staat een ontvochtiger en dat is voor alle kamers (boven) geen overbodige luxe. Deze moest elke dag aan omdat het anders te klam is in de slaapkamers.

Erholsamer Paradiesgarten
Die Häuser sind liebevoll eingerichtet, wir haben uns sofort zuhause gefühlt. Der Service ist rücksichtsvoll und sorgfältig, die Gastgeberin warmherzig und verantwortungsvoll. Die Häuser liegen wunderbar, sie bieten Erholung und sind doch nicht weit entfernt von Wanderungen, Schwimmen im Meer oder einen Bummel in der Stadt. Ein wunderbarer Ort für die ganze Familie.

Superbe séjour !
Nous avons passé un formidable séjour en février 2020, logés dans la casa alho de la propriété.
Le site est vaste, très beau, doté d'une importante variété d'arbres et fleurs. Relativement central, il est permet de rayonner sur l'ensemble de l'ile.
La maison est très agréable, cosy, au calme.
Nos hôtes nous ont réservé le meilleur accueil et ont été aux petites soins tout au long du séjour.
Je recommande vivement as casas do vale paraiso !!

De superbes vacances chez Sofia
Nous avons passé 2 semaines très agréables à Camacha. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié le cadre de vie, l'accueil et la gentillesse de Sofia, les attentions et services de Léonor. La localisation est idéale pour sillonner Madère de long en large et profiter également de Funchal. De plus Camacha est une commune très active avec un festival la semaine du 15/8 et l'on partage vraiment la vie des madériens. Le soir, il est très agréable de se retrouver dans un cadre très verdoyant et au calme. Nous y reviendrions bien volontiers. A recommander.
