Casa do Lanço - Verdelho, wine and laurissilva

Casa do Lanço is part of a 25,000m² vineyard estate in a transition zone between the Laurissilva 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 centuries-old trees, including a large oak tree over 250 years old and several endemic species of laurel forest such as tis, vinháticos, barbusanos, and loureiros. The house is decorated with various details, in a fusion between classic and contemporary, following the tradition of a family home. It has a bedroom with two traditional-style single beds and an access door to the outside, so you can wake up to a fantastic view of the yard and gardens. Inside the property, you can enjoy the shared swimming pool and sauna, stroll along the stream and gardens, or relax in the backyard, where you can have breakfast (not included), prepared every morning by the caretaker. During your stay, you can take part in the viticulture process at harvest time or buy 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.
