Beautiful location, just above the village of Sao Vincente. Your own private terrace with a view. Salt water pool and friendly hosts. Bonus: the home made Madeira wine made by Lionel.

FranceA Casa is a most unique property that blends a location in town but with a rural feel. The owners have transformed a family homestead into a holiday stay with a glimpse into a generations old wine making tradition.

United States of AmericaTruly wonderful escape into the beautiful tropical valleys of Madeira. Lionel & Elda created such a beautiful space where you truly feel you are welcomed as visiting family. All of the apartment details make this a cozy and comfortable stay, even when the weather is temperamental. The kitchen was fully equipped and the welcome foods they provide are very generous. Touring the wine cellar is also a very special treat. They even place some welcome Madeira wine from their production in the room. Also, the location is great for further exploring the north part of the island. Porto Moniz is only 20 minutes drive away. There are so many beautiful waterfalls & trekking trails to explore, as well.

These spaces are inserted in a rural property with a total area of 5050 m2, where each space has its own kitchen, all of them with their own personal and private WC. In the property we practice a subsistence agriculture, mainly the culture and production of the grape varieties of the American and Jackass, where in September, our clients can accompany and participate in the collection and production of the various homemade wines produced on the property. On arrival at our property all our guests are offered with one of our wines, and in each space is placed a bottle so that customers may dislike another type of wine produced by us. We have on the property a space / area with natural herbs where customers can spoon and make their own natural tea. Guests can visit our traditional winery and our Garces museum where they can observe artifacts used and used in the past in the production and confection of wines. We also have an outdoor space, a steakhouse where our guests can enjoy this same open space for some meals. The property is located in an area classified as the heart of Laurisilva.
I and my wife, we do "everything" on our property, the Chek-in, the Chek-outs, the cleanings, the gardens, the pool, our wines, etc.
The name chosen for this mini-company, Estrelícia-Dourada Garcês is a tribute to its owners, especially the father and father-in-law of the managing partners, the master José João Garcês.
The property is set in a very quiet and safe area with beautiful views over the mountains and valleys of the Vila de São Vicente, as well as a privileged view over the village itself. Entering our property enters a different world, and returns to the past entering a world and rural space. Close to the property you can find the São Vicente sea suitable and suitable for surfing. Relatively close to our property you can also find the caves and volcano center of São Vicente. Our property is also relatively close to the existing services in Vila de São Vicente, supermarket, pharmacy, frutaria, restaurants, church, etc ...... The property is located in an area classified as heart of the Laurisilva.
