Situated on a vineyard property spanning over 2.5 hectares, this Madeira home is a wine lover’s dream come true. From the cosy living room to the private patio boasting gorgeous forest views, there are plenty of spots to choose from when it comes to unwinding with a glass of red. In fact, we wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to relax here all day, topping up your tan in the glorious sunshine and listening to the breeze whistling through the ancient trees. Heaven. 

If you’re in the mood for something less sedate though, you’re just a forty-five-minute drive from the heart of Funchal, home to some of the most spectacular architecture on Portugal's Madeira archipelago. Gaze up at the carved wooden ceiling of Funchal Cathedral, unleash your inner art critic at the Contemporary Art Museum, or go for a quick dip in the Atlantic at Praia Formosa. Safe to say, this place has something for everyone.

Laurel & Vine

Accessible Parking

This period home has plenty of vintage charm to offer, and while some of the features may appear dated, the warmth and comfort are never lacking here. An excellent base for a couple or a small family visiting Madeira and looking for a tranquil spot away from the usual tourist trails, this home is situated just a ten-minute walk from the volcanic caves of São Vicente and a half-an-hour drive from Funchal. 

After a long day of exploring the island, you’ll be able to relax and soak in the private Jacuzzi, while the well-equipped kitchen invites you to rustle up a delicious supper, inspired by Madeira’s rich culinary tradition. Share your meal at the dining table inside or out on the covered patio. Later settle in for an evening of movies on the comfy sofa, a glass of wine in hand. 

Wake up and enjoy your morning coffee while gazing at the stunning mountains surrounding the home. 

Volcanic Splendour 

Scenery doesn’t come much more impressive than this. The towering mountains of Madeira’s north coast protect the verdant green valley of São Vicente and when the sun tinges the folds of this landscape golden, there’s nothing quite like it. Those that are in the area for the breathtaking hiking trails can catch a glimpse of what’s to come from the private terrace. As the mountains rise up around you, the orange roofs of São Vicente cascade down to the deep blue Atlantic. You can walk down to the waterfront from here, where you’ll find a handful of seafood restaurants, bars and cafes.

After hitting the Levada dos Cardais or Levada Fajã do Rodrigues hiking trails, there’s nothing better than firing up the Jacuzzi tub on the terrace and soaking weary muscles. Those that prefer to take it easy can just appreciate the view from here. There’s room to dine on the mosaic-tiled terrace too, with a brick-built barbecue for alfresco cooking. Should the weather turn, you can snuggle up on the big L-shaped sofa inside and perhaps select something for the collection of holiday reads. Dishes don’t have to be a chore in the kitchen, with a long window showing off the mountain view above the sink. Bedrooms are soothing spaces of wicker accents and natural stone and wood palettes, and both have access to the terrace.

Between the ancient trees of the Laurissilva Forest and the rolling fields of São Vicente, this home sits within a sprawling vineyard. Tinta Negra and Verdelho grapes grow plump in the sun, ready to be harvested for the island’s famous Madeira wine – you can experience this yourself if you time your visit right. Wandering the grounds you’ll find ancient trees (one oak rumoured to be one of the first trees planted on the island), and stone benches sitting in the shade. Trails through the vines and alongside the river start from just outside your door, and there’s a private yard set up for outdoor dining. As an optional extra, the housekeeper can make you breakfast, homemade bread rolls or the local caldo da romaria soup. The house itself is over 200 years old and maintains an air of tradition inside. The living room is rose-petal pink with floral sofas whispering of yesteryear, while a working fireplace keeps things warm in winter. The 12-seater dining table sits by original stone walls and dark-wood dressers add an old-world Portuguese feel. It’s the kitchen that really embraces the farmhouse vibe – the original bread oven can still be used to bake fresh rolls, and sunlight streams in through wood-shuttered windows. You’re out in the countryside here, but the village of São Vicente is just a 10-minute drive away where you can pick up groceries and sample the local restaurants.

Tinta Negra

Step-Free Access

Tucked away amid the river valley of Sao Vicente, this countryside spot in Madeira offers a tranquil setting from which to relax and enjoy nature – all while locating you just ten minutes from the sea and a five-minute drive from volcanic caves.

Soak up the luscious green landscapes visible in every direction while chilling out in the sunshine. With a private outdoor terrace with a barbecue, enjoy laid-back afternoons tucking into long lunches in utter serenity. Evenings here are fabulously peaceful – and you'll even find a shared Jacuzzi hot tub to unwind in after a long day of exploring the island. 

Head out to Funchal, Madeira's capital, around a thirty-minute drive away or keep things low-key by adventuring around the local valleys of São Vicente and the nearby beaches. With so much to see and do here, if you have a car – the opportunities are virtually limitless. 

Nature of the Valley 

Desk / Workplace

Madeira Wine is famous the world over and this cosy home located on a six-acre vineyard on the north of the island brings you closer to this tradition.

It's a wonderfully peaceful location, sitting in between the Laurissilva forest and the agricultural lands of São Vicente. You can appreciate the rural tranquillity from the terrace or in the garden, in which you'll find a stream and several trees that date back a couple of centuries.

The home itself is rather traditional when it comes to design, with terracotta tiling, vintage-style furnishings and a preference for wood surfaces. Saying that, the pastel pink bedroom complete with botanical prints is cuter than we were expecting.

If you want to learn a little more about viticulture — or just try a glass or two of the finished product — the host can arrange for this. When you want to see more of the locale, there are trails and Levada routes that start close to the home. The village of Sao Vicente takes ten minutes to reach in the car, while Praia do Porto do Seixal takes fifteen minutes in case you want a day at the seaside.

The views from this São Vicente apartment are breathtaking. From the terrace, living room and workspace, guests can drink in marvellous mountain vistas. This home is an ideal base for a family or friends exploring the North Island of Madeira. You can walk to restaurants and a supermarket, but we recommend hiring a car to get around easily – lovely Seixal Sand beach is only a ten-minute drive away. The natural pools of Porto Moniz are eighteen minutes away – this is a great choice for nature lovers. Two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in bedroom three, which doubles as a workspace.

With sublime, far-reaching ocean views visible from just about anywhere in this home, start your days here with a breath of fresh air, as the salty breeze of the Atlantic Ocean will invigorate your soul. Gather around the alfresco dining area for a breakfast of champions featuring some Portuguese nata and freshly brewed coffee – you'll also find an outdoor kitchen and barbecue area, perfect for sunset dinners in the open air. Come afternoon, take a revitalising dip in the private swimming pool while gazing out at the sea of blue before you. 

Inside, the modern interiors offer an equally calming setting to kick back, relax and re-connect with oneself. Whether you're perched on one of the armchairs by the window and making the most of the dreamy vistas or rustling up some of your own culinary favourites in the open-concept kitchen, it's safe to say you'll feel well rested here – very quickly after arrival. Only a few minute's walk down to Kamacete Beach, you'll be within easy reach of the local natural scenery – and with a car, the rest of Madeira can be found just a stone's throw away.


Take a Breath 

This cozy cottage offers a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. With three bedrooms, distributed in two double beds and two single beds, the house has the capacity to accommodate up to six guests. Each room has been carefully decorated to provide maximum comfort and tranquillity throughout your stay.

Relax & Unwind

If you're looking for a rustic rural retreat in Madeira, evocative of years gone by, then this stone casa between the sea and the mountains in the Santana World Biosphere Reserve fits the bill. The home overlooks the sea and is surrounded by forests – it really is an enchanting setting. Enjoy the ocean and lush landscape vistas from the balcony with a glass of Madeira and truly unwind. Or get the barbecue going and enjoy a feast in the garden.

Inside, exposed stone, old wooden beams, and a farmhouse style prevail – we love the log burner here – perfect for warming up on chillier days.

Next to this home is a restaurant where you can sample local delicacies or take advantage of some wonderful walking trails on your doorstep. The famous Quinta das Rosas, nearby, has different varieties of roses from all over the world – ideal for those with green fingers. Santana, with its colourful houses and white, baroque-style Igreja de Santana church, is twenty minutes by car, while Funchal is a fifty-minute drive away.


Rose in Paradise

If you long for a quiet retreat in a quaint cottage by the sea, your search is over – this home will tick every one of your holiday boxes and more. Nestled in São Jorge on the northern coast of Madeira, this is seclusion at its finest. Mere metres away from the beach, your home looks out over the Atlantic with a mountainous backdrop. 

Step inside, and the open-plan space ushers natural light in from every angle. Small in size but still packing a significant punch, you’ll find everything you need for a memorable stay. We love the terrace area  – how could you ever tire of that view? Many happy hours will be spent here, tucked up on the sofa, the barbecue sizzling away in the background and the smell of the food mixing with the unmistakable scent of the ocean that wraps itself around you. As you listen to the sound of the waves lapping against the shore, pour yourself a glass of wine and simply enjoy the moment with your loved ones. They say time flies when you’re having fun – before you know it, the sun will have dropped below the ocean and a blanket of stars will have opened out above you. Weary from the fresh sea air and the pure bliss of a day doing nothing, you can head to bed with wonderful memories and the promise of more to come.

Up above the town of Ponta do Sol on Madeira’s south coast, this sugar-cube style apartment embraces traditional architecture on the outside and minimalist modernity inside. The view of Ponta do Sol – a series of orange-roofed buildings tumbling down the hillside to the deep blue sea – is framed by tropical plants, and settling into the beanbag-like chairs on the private terrace is the perfect spot to take it all in. A sparkling rectangle of infinity pool is shared with one other apartment, along with the hillside hot tub. Inside, the walls are kept pristine white without a hint of clutter, and the light-wood kitchen is brightened by sunlight streaming in through a wall of glass. It’s a six-minute walk into the centre of Ponta do Sol where there’s a handful of cafés, bars and restaurants and a local grocery shop. The larger town of Ribeira Brava is a 10-minute drive away. 

Set On The Sea

Sharing its sea views and its fabulous infinity pool with just one neighbouring home, this modern villa is in a quiet, rural part of the island. The interiors are minimalist and strikingly contemporary, with all-white walls, pale wood floors and bespoke matching furniture. Simple and stylish throughout, floor-to-ceiling windows make the most of the panoramic vistas and the bathroom features a natural stone wall and sliding glass doors to a private courtyard. But it's the outside space that dominates this place. A sun terrace with access to the pool is the perfect spot for evening drinks, while a private balcony off one of the bedrooms is a peaceful place for morning coffee. The infinity pool seems to spill over the edge of one of the island's typically steep slopes and the sea views from here are simply breathtaking. And for a real treat, spend some time each evening in your private hot tub, a quirky circular outdoor bath sunken into the sloping lawn. Best of all, you'll have access to the owner's lush subtropical gardens, filled with fresh fruit, palm trees and herbs. Beneath you, banana farmers go about their business, tending their crops, and it's a pleasant stroll down to the sea, while keen walkers will be able to hike off uphill to take in even more impressive views. 

Heart & Sol

Adorned in stunning natural daylight, this modern villa invites guests to soak up the Madeira sunshine in utmost luxury. With attention to detail and top-of-the-range finishings carefully selected across the space, prepare to live like royalty with this home as your holiday base. 

From the panoramic ocean blue views to the infinity swimming pool, terrace bar area and beautiful open-concept main living area – this spot will serve those looking to spend quality time together in a sociable environment. Relaxing here is a breeze as you'll find plenty of perching places on the terrace or inside the villa. And since each of the bedrooms features its own en-suite and direct access to the balcony boasting breathtaking views across the ocean – spending time here in solitude may be just as tempting. 

By hiring a car here, you'll be within easy reach of Madeira's magical natural beauty in the form of its volcanic caves, natural swimming pools and serene beaches. Or why not head into the capital city of Funchal, with an array of cultural and shopping attractions to discover? 



Bliss of Light 

Facing an impressive mountain backdrop, this hillside villa overlooks the charming town of Ribeira Brava. Set back from a black-sanded beach and the cafe-lined promenade, we recommend stopping by the historic Mother Church of São Bento – beloved across the region for its collection of 16th-century paintings. Nearby lies the sun-soaked Ponta do Sol, but you couldn't be in a better place to explore the island, with easy access to the highway.

Surrounded by a wealth of natural beauty, this observatory home lets you enjoy a bird's eye view from the secluded terrace. Just imagine flicking through a local newspaper beneath the shade of an umbrella or admiring sunsets from the comfort of the infinity pool. We think the summer kitchen serves as a great hangout spot, inviting you to sit atop carved barstools and try a glass of Madeira wine. After an all-day adventure, how about firing up the smoky grill and serving your loved ones an alfresco supper?

Edge of Forever

Extra Pillows and Blankets

With sparkling sea views stretching out before you, relaxing in this sleek, modern villa is not hard. Floor-to-ceiling windows usher in abundant natural light, making the whole space bright and welcoming. Dressed in white and grey, the home has an air of tranquillity about it, and with stunning vistas outside every window, it paints a perfect picture of Madeira. 

As the Portuguese sun shines down, you’ll soon be tempted outdoors. Lazy days at the villa will be well spent here, soaking up the scenery as you enjoy a swim. For a quiet moment to yourself, snuggle down in the egg chair and get lost in the pages of your holiday read for a while, as the breeze gently rocks you. When you’re keen to get out to explore, a short drive will take you to Calheta and the golden sands of its man-made beach. For those who love to surf, five minutes away by car you’ll find Jardim do Mar and Paul do Mar – if surfing’s not your thing, settle down at one of the cafe bars and treat yourself to a mojito as your loved ones enjoy the water.

With a location dubbed 'the sunniest place in Madeira', it's little wonder this home is committed to letting so much of the outside in. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows and sliding doors flood the modern villa with light and, more importantly, give you front-row seats to breathtaking views over the ocean and hillside. The interiors are sharp and clean, with white-washed walls, cream colours and the occasional pop of teal. The large living space has enough room for your whole group, from dining at the glass table to chilling out on one of the luxury beanbags. Even the games room feels futuristic thanks to a white, curved pool table and matching foosball table. No matter how much you love the modernity of this spot, most of your time will invariably be spent soaking up the vista, whether from the infinity pool or one of the loungers. While restaurants and bars are a drive away, the back garden has its own bar and barbecue area for you to practise your grilling and mixology skills.

This home is nestled on the side of a hill that sits above sea level and has some jaw-dropping panoramic views of the gorgeous ocean below.

We absolutely love the outdoor area, with a private infinity pool that invites you to float on a lilo with a cocktail in hand, as well as plenty of places to chill out in the sunshine, with poolside loungers for relaxing on and an alfresco dining area for tucking into tasty pastel de natas with your morning coffee. There’s a barbecue for grilling up peri-peri marinated meats, plus a covered outdoor lounge space for enjoying some you-time in perfect peace.

Inside, we love the modern design and contemporary decor. There’s a large kitchen for you to cook up feasts for the whole family, as well as a study area if you need to get some work done from home.

If you fancy a day at the beach, Calheta Beach is a ten-minute drive, where you can also find bars, restaurants and a supermarket. Also, close by is Engenho da Calheta, one of the oldest sugar cane mills on the island. The facilities and its machinery were used in the production of sugar cane brandy – head to the tasting room or wine bar here to sample the wares. Calheta is around a forty-minute drive from Funchal city centre, where you’ll find Funchal Cathedral, tropical gardens, the pretty harbour and Madeira wine cellars.

This is where time stands still. Where the pool, the sea, and the sky fold into one. Where the most you can hear is the gentle sea or the swaying of the leaves. This walled-off villa is privacy and tranquillity, with your neighbours being the adjacent mountains and the North Atlantic Ocean. 

Enjoy leisurely days spent by the pool, dipping in and out as you please. Catching up on a good book in the most spectacular setting.

Although you feel far from civilisation, you're just a five-minute drive from Calheta Beach. Spend the afternoon on the gold sand and gliding through the aqua sea. Or, spend a day hiking across Maderia's rugged land. Calheta is known for its many levada walks, including the stunning 
Levada Calheta-Prazeres. You can get to the start in just eleven minutes by car, and the exhilarating hike will be a memory saved for a lifetime. 

It's a bit further out at a twenty-nine-minute drive, but Calhau da Lapa is unmissable. Considered one of Maderia's hidden gems – its crystal clear waters, volcanic cliffs and enchanting waterfall make it worth the trip. Always make it home for sunset, though. The panoramic views from your villa offer the very best vantage point for watching the sky turn from bright blue to hues of orange, pink, and purple. Come dinnertime, whip something up in your outdoor kitchen, complete with a sink, worktop space, and a barbecue.

Then, when your eyelids get heavy, the minimalist decor of the bedrooms creates the perfect ambience to clear your mind and enjoy an unbroken night's sleep in the comfortable beds.
