Vila Maria Quinta 5 "Casa da Vinho"

Vila Maria Quinta is an old family house. In 2012 we decided that we wanted to share this wonderful place with the world. So we renovated the vila and transformed the it into the 5 modern appartments they are today. The 5 apartments all cary their own name and each room is a little bit diferent but they all have their own bathrooms and kitchens. The Vila is a very tranquil place, especially the outdoor areas.

One of the historic main features of “Casa da Vinho” is precisely as the name implies, it was the “house of the wine”. This apartment was used for the most important process of making wine, the maturation. The wine would lie here in large wooden barrels for months or even years. During this this process is the aromas and flavors will balance. The wine will reaches its maximum expression with aging.If you are curious to see what these barrels looked like, you can find one near the entrance next to the barbeque area.
Casa da Vinho is a one bedroom, one bathroom apartment that can sleep upto 5 people. Two people can sleep in the bedroom, the other guests can sleep in the studio-like living area where you will find a double bed and a sofabed.

At the ouside area's you will also be able to use the heathed saltwater pool and a large forest garden. While you walk through the garden the rest of the world simply seems to disappear, all you hear are the birds and the sound of the streaming water.Along the garden path there are many sitting area's where you can enjoy nature or read a book.
With all the nature surrounding you, it will feel like you are miles away from civalization, where as in fact Calheta village is just around the corner, and it's beautiful beach is only 2 km away! We are also just 5 km away from Rabacal Valley, this is where some of Madeira's most famous walks start
