En el bosque Laurissilva, Casa do Lanço - Carvalho

Casa do Lanço forms part of a vineyard estate covering some 25,000 m² and is situated in a transitional zone between the Laurissilva forest and the farmland of São Vicente. On the terraced vineyards, one can see the Tinta Negra and Verdelho grape varieties, which are used to produce the famous Madeira wine.

The property is part of a group of houses featuring several gardens with centuries-old trees, notably a large oak tree over 250 years old. According to several historians, this oak is in fact one of the very first trees to have been planted on the island of Madeira. Various species endemic to the Laurissilva forest, such as tis, vinháticos, barbusanos and laurel trees, can be found on the property.

The house is decorated in a simple, rustic and functional style, reflecting its history whilst offering every comfort to guests. The property has three bedrooms: two with double beds and one with two single beds, all with en-suite bathrooms. The spacious living room features a fireplace where you can enjoy spending time with family or friends.

On the property, you can enjoy the shared swimming pool and sauna, a stroll along the riverbank and through the gardens, or relax in the outdoor courtyard. During your stay, you can take the opportunity to get involved in the winemaking process at harvest time, or purchase the wines available at the house.

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.
