Om dette overnattingsstedet

Sjarmerende restaurert steinhus i Funchal sentrum - Casa das Vinhas

  • Casa das Vinhas er en av tre sjarmerende restaurerte juveler som ligger i Quinta Vista Alegre på 4 hektar, hvor bananer og vinranker dyrkes og hundrevis av gamle tropiske hager er tilbøyelige. Forbl���ffende er denne oasen av ro i den største turistsonen i Funchal, nær sjøen og Belmond Reids palasshotell.

    Konvertert fra det gamle Biljardhuset, Stall og Faktors innkvartering, er hyttens vegger av originalstein og interiør romslige, karakterfulle og godt designet med toppkvalitetsmøbler og utstyr. Det store svømmebassenget deles med eieren og deres familie (for noen dager i året kan dette omfatte familiebarn). Den fremre terrassen er skyggelagt av vinstokker og et delt sittegruppe, omgitt av banantrær, har 4 stoler, bord og parasoll, det perfekte stedet for litt lett lesing eller for å nyte en kveldsdrink.

    Casa das Vinhas ligger i første etasje og sover 2 gjester. Inngangen er direkte inn i stue / spisestue som er innredet til en høy standard, noen stykker lokalt laget av tre fra eiendommen. Sofaen, to lenestoler og spisebordet sitte opptil 4 gjester (ideelt å dele med venner / familie som bor ved siden av) og det er bordlamper for lesing. Det er en TV med kabel og satellittkanaler, inkludert tyske kanaler. Hjørne tekjøkkenet har elektrisk komfyr, kombinert mikrobølgeovn / stekeovn, kjøleskap, brødrister og vannkoker og rikelig med servise / servering / matlaging utstyr.

    Soverommet (med dobbel king size-seng) har en montert garderobe med skuffer (og liten safe), servantskap med speil og et eget bad med stor dusj, servant, bidet og W. C.

    En privat, elektrisk inngangsport fører til en felles sikker parkeringsplass og en kort, brosteinsbelagt oppkjørselen. Casa das Vinhas er helt i første etasje, ideell for de mindre mobile.

    Sengetøy, bad og badehåndklær og ukentlig rengjøring tilbys. Det er et felles separat vaskerom med vaskemaskin, tørketrommel, strykejern og strykebrett tilgjengelig for gjestenes bruk.

    Disse villaene i Funchal er kun voksne og aksepterer ikke barn. Sv��mmebassenget kan brukes mellom kl. 09.00 og 17.00. Gratis Wi-Fi og en Bluetooth-høyttaler er tilgjengelig for gjestenes bruk. En elektrisk vifte er gitt om sommeren og en bærbar elektrisk varmeapparat gitt i vintermånedene.

    Quinta Vista Alegre har 4 hektar store eiendommer i Zino-familien i 70 år, og eierne er tredje generasjon. Hovedhuset (for tiden okkupert av eierne) ble bygd rundt 1867. Det er en arbeider Quinta voksende vinstokker og bananer. Mye av hagen ble lagt ut av en engelsk familie, Stanfordene, mellom 1902 og 1912 og Charles Thomas-Stanford skrev "Leaves from a Madeira Garden" om hagen og øya.

    Motsatt inngangen til Quinta Vista Alegre (der hyttene er) er inngangen til Quinta Magnolia, tidligere en britisk Country Club som nå er statlig eid. Her kan du nyte vakre hager, trenerkrets og to tennisbaner, alt i et område på ca 40 000 kvadratmeter. Like nede på gaten har du de to mest prestisjefylte hotellene på øya, Belmond Reid Palace og Savoy Palace. Det er ingen andre villaer på Madeira som tilbyr denne blandingen av rolig karakter og traditon med en sentral ettertraktet beliggenhet.
    Nærliggende er andre gode hoteller og et godt utvalg av restauranter, kafeer, barer og små supermarkeder. Du kan nyte sjøbading på det offentlige Lido ca 1 km til fots, eller du vil kanskje bare gå langs kysten i dette området. Funchal sentrum ligger bare en 20 minutters spasertur unna (mindre enn 2 kilometer).
    Busser / drosjer er tett og hyppige. En bil er ikke nødvendig, men tilrådelig å utforske denne vakre øya.

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful stay at our holiday home in Madeira. Our host, Buffy, was extremely friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. Everything was perfectly organized, clean, and comfortable. We truly enjoyed our time there and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

Paradise

The property was as described and provided a very comfortable base. The property is within easy walking distance of Funchal city centre and the restaurants and amenities of the Lido area. Please be aware though that, if you have any mobility or respiratory issues, it is a steep walk back! We hired a car, a Qashqui, which was on the large side for the awkward gateway and parking arrangement. It was wonderful however to have the independence of a car to explore the island! The property is on a working banana plantation and we loved seeing some of them being harvested. It was amazing to experience this so close to the city centre and we felt privileged to stay in this quiet and secluded spot with so much still on our doorstep! We stayed three weeks and the property received a thorough clean and new bed linen, towels etc each week.

Six Great Weeks!

We stayed in the “Casa das Vinhas” From January 25 to March 8, 2023 – Yes, 6 weeks! Lucky us! We thoroughly enjoyed the property. We are walkers; we walked over 600 km while we were in Madeira, so the location was ideal for us as it gave us a chance to warm up walking to the old town in the morning and a chance to finish off our days with a walk back up to the casa. The building itself suited our needs very well. It felt safe, secure, and peaceful and allowed us to relax and enjoy the tranquillity among the banana plants, amid the birds and butterflies and with visits from the 2 friendly dogs. The property managers were quick to respond to any minor issues as they came up and were a pleasure to meet. The housekeeper did an excellent and thorough job and the towels and bed linens are top quality. We cooked about 60% of our meals at the casa and had pretty much everything we needed, including the barbeque, which we did make use of. We never really figured out how to do more than just microwave with the oven but didn’t really need it anyway. Few rental units in Funchal have any form of central heat and we experienced some cold nights in January and early February. We made good use of the electric heater and hot-water bottle some nights! Other than those few nights, we were fine without a source of heat. All in all, we had a very pleasant stay!

Eine Oase mitten in Funchal

Das Objekt entspricht der Beschreibung. Die Lage ist genial, wenn man zu Fuß Funchal erkunden möchte.. Der Pool ist riesig und lädt zum Schwimmen ein. Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Einziger Kritikpunkt: Die Außenmöbel sind alt und billig, das passt so gar nicht zum Rest des Hauses.

Fabulous, loved it!!

We loved the property & having a pool was a real luxury as we pretty much had it to ourselves the whole stay. Our cottage was lovely, had everything we needed & the grounds were really pretty. We didn’t meet the owners until the end of our stay as they were away. A really nice couple who we instantly liked. If we ever go back which I’m sure we will we would definitely stay there again without a doubt. The location is great as it’s away from the town but close enough to walk in. An added bonus was that the owners have 2 lovely dogs who we adored as we a huge animal lovers

Fantastic little hideaway in the centre of Funchal

Enter Casa das Vinhas through a door in a wall...all very Harry Potter! It is very magical inside the walls. Peaceful. But...it is a working Quinta! Bananas surround you. The owners live closeby; they greet you and bid you farewell..but are there if you need anything. They are very lovely. You have everything you need. We hired a car but it did not leave the driveway. We walked everywhere. Loads of lovely places to see and lots to do. Restaurants and cafes abound. Don't hesitate to book! You will have a fab time! Good travels. Ann

Absolutely loved it

This property is a hidden gem. It’s situation is great as everything is within walking distance but it’s away from the centre. The cottage was perfect for our needs, it was very clean & had everything we needed. We had the swimming pool to ourselves which was a real treat. The grounds were lovely & we fell in love with vista & Minnie, the owners dogs. We didn’t meet Frank & Buffy who are great until the end of our stay as they were away. I would highly recommend staying here if you want something a bit special. We will definitely stay here if we go back again. They have their own taxi driver called Carlos who’s a real character & he will do the taxi transfers to the airport for a charge. He’s very informative on the area. We walked to the big supermarket once we had settled in to do a big shop & got Carlos to pick us up but after that there are plenty of little supermarkets nearer to pick up supplies. We loved staying here & cant recommend it highly enough

A genuine hidden Madeiran gem! Beautiful hideaway unbelievably in a central location within Funchal

Although we only know a few places in Funchal we are sure that The Cottage must be one of the best. We had an unforgettable stay on the island in particular driven by the cottage both in its location and grounds - and most importantly our hosts . Everything was as described or better and the view from the cottage onto the grounds is simply amazing. Absolutely terrific hosts and their property offers something genuine and magical to visitors; a rare find where the original Madeiran culture meets modern needs. Situated in a quiet quarter in the town there is only a short walk to the sea, restaurants and city centre. The Island is really overwhelming with incredible landscapes and architecture. Thank you once again to our very kind hosts. Highly recommended and we would definitely stay again.

Truly is an oasis in central Funchal

We had never been to Madeira before and booked Casa das Vinhas after much deliberation. We were not disappointed. The cottage is clean, the bed comfortable, the living accomodation is bright and the kitchen well equipped with very good cooking facilities, should you wish to cook. There is even a barbecue. The outdoor area is very spacious and the swimming pool is more than adequate. My husband and I had the full use of the pool to ourselves, very peaceful. We loved seeing the owners dogs, who were very friendly on occasion, and Frank and Buffy are very welcoming, helpful and discreet. It is a short walk down a hill to turn either left into the centre of Funchal and the port area, or right to the hotel strip, the first one on the main road is Reids Hotel, where you can book for a posh tea. There is a super market down the hill too. Turn towards the centre and you get an excellent meal at Kontiki's, steak on the stone, and a good pint at No2 Pub. Overall, an excellent base with peace and quiet, being amongst it all. We had a fab holiday. But, like all holidays in the heat, remember to take the sprays/creams in case you are bitten. We hope to return to this beautiful oasis, Pauline and Brian

Serendipity.

Serendipity is the first word that comes to mind when thinking of our recent stay here. Frank and Buffy have created a wonderful retreat within the grounds of their stunning property. The cottage we stayed in was very well equipped, stylishly appointent and wonderfully clean with thoughtful touches. The pool area was a particular favourite bordered with many flowers and vines. Plenty of space to sit out for breakfast and the mandatory G and T in the evening. You never felt you were in the middle of a buzzing city. When you did want to ventre out of the gated property there it was, the vibrant friendly city of funchal. Great eating places a short walk away, a great bakery just down the hill for your daily bread and the must have custard tarts. All this was topped by the caring approach of Buffy and Frank. There when you needed them and not when you didnt. Fabulous. A rare and special find. Would love to keep this place a secret but that would be really mean to deprive everyone of something that is unique. A special place one had the good fortune to come across. Go there while you can , not going to stay a secret for long. The last word. Serendipity.

Superb

Stayed here for 5 nights in late October. the cottage was well equipped and comfortably furnished,with an outdoor dining area amongst the banana trees. The pool was clean and just the right temperature for cooling off,with plenty of loungers available. The cottage is ideally located,with many restaurants within a 5 minute walk,as well as two supermarkets. Upon arrival we were greeted by the owner,having been collected from the airport by Carlos. The bottle of Madeira was a welcome touch and the kitchen was already supplied with tea bags.

Relaxing stay

Really enjoyed our stay in Casa das Vinhas. Top quality accommodation, styled really nicely and comfortably. Large pool with lounge chairs, sunny outside seating area to dine in, well located in between Funchal city/Port area and the tourist zone/Lido. We managed well without a car but you need to be able to manage a steep walk home. We weren't really disturbed by the road but it was hot sleeping at night without any air conditioning. Only 2 other cottages so it never felt over-crowded. Well stocked facilities which made a great home from home for our stay.

Perfect Getaway

On arrival we received a lovely greeting, which included a full tour of the property, an explanation of how everything worked and what we would find in the area. The property was in first class condition was everything we expected and more. Casa das Vinhas is in a really good location, close to the sea, with the old town in one direction and the "hotel quarter", in the other direction. Both of these areas have plentiful shops, restaurants and bars. The property is up a short but steep hill, but that is the nature of Madeira. At the bottom of the hill was a really nice patisserie and ice cream parlour, so you could refresh yourself before walking up the 100 metres or so. The Casa was set in secluded gardens with banana trees and grape vines surrounding the property. The Casa and the gardens were very well maintained and a joy to relax in after a day out.

Idyllic Location

This is the most perfect location. A scenic walk into Funchal takes about 15 mins which can take you through the fabulous gardens with some great sea views, it took us about 25 mins coming back as there are a few steepish hills to tackle but there is a bus stop near the gate if you prefer and we found local transport everywhere to be excellent. We were very impressed that once through the green door, the natural banana plantation setting for the cottages was like a being transported into another world and any traffic noise almost disappeared. The accommodation has been renovated to a very good standard and provides most things you could possibly want with an excellent sized swimming pool that, when we were there, almost felt like it was just for us. The bottle of Madeira wine and fresh fruit was very welcome and the only thing we thought lacking was books on the local area, flowers and wildlife, local bus service information and perhaps some books or leaflets on walking the levadas. There are so many restaurants to choose from to suit any taste you really are spoilt for choice and there is a patisserie and Spar shop nearby for your daily essentials. We found Buffy & Zino very welcoming and friendly hosts but not at all obtrusive. This is a very relaxing place to stay and we would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who likes peace and quiet together with the convenience of being close to everything. Thank you both for sharing your oasis in Funchal. David & Linda, Norfolk, UK

a wonderful holiday

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Madeira at the Casa das Vinhas. It was our first visit to the island and first time ever staying on a banana plantation! The cottage is quaint, clean, airy, comfortable and well equipped with everything you need. The sofa is so comfy to lounge on after a good days levada walking! The location is great as you are only a 15-20 min walk from the centre of Funchal and yet you have complete peace and quiet at the property. There are plenty of restaurants and a couple of little food stores nearby if you don't want to go into the centre. We would highly recommend the cottage and Madeira as a holiday destination. The levada walks are fantastic and easy to follow, we saw whales on our boat trip, its easy to get about on the local buses and by taxi, the local food and wine is great - in short a wonderful holiday, we'll be back.
