Overview

Surround yourself with island culture in a traditional one bedroom Madeira villa at Casa do Feitor.

The casa is part of the Quinta Vista Alegre estate – a peaceful oasis of vineyards and banana groves hidden right in the heart of the capital Funchal. Casa do Feitor is the largest of the estate’s three casas – it’s spacious and modern whilst retaining the traditional character of the original building. There’s a large, homely living room at its centre, a comfortable ensuite double bedroom, and a well-equipped kitchen/diner with its own breakfast balcony looking out into the gardens. The shared gardens include an outdoor swimming pool and shaded terrace – perfect for relaxing with a glass of Madeiran wine in the warm evenings.

Airport transfers are included, and we’ll arrange for a hire car to be delivered to your door so you can explore the whole island at your leisure. Funchal’s historic centre is a short walk/drive ride away, and it’s easy to personalise your holiday by adding a few of our favourite activities.

Itinerary

You'll begin your holiday by flying direct from the UK to Madeira. Our driver will collect you from your flight, for your transfer into Funchal.
We’ll deliver a hire car to your quinta so you can begin exploring Funchal - the Avenida do Mar, the Se Cathedral, the Baltazar Dias Theatre and Blandy's Wine Lodge. It’s a short drive to the tropical gardens at Monte Palace, were you can ride a Carro de Cesto – the famous wicker toboggans which run down the steep streets of Caminho do Monte.
Drive to one of the highest points on the island – the summit of Pico do Arieiro (at 1816m) for an amazing panoramic view across the whole island. You could spend the afternoon in the forest park at Ribeiro Frio; home to the miradouro at Balcões – a wonderful spot overlooking the Ribeira da Metade valley.
Explore the coves and bays of Madeira’s south coast - visit the famous skywalk at Cabo Girao, one of Europe’s highest sea cliffs, and the secluded Curral das Freiras – the Nun’s Valley.
Take a drive over the island’s central mountains to the magnificent sea cliffs that dominate the landscape on the north coast of Madeira. The coast road leads to Porto Moniz,; one of the best swimming spots on the island.
Visit the lighthouse at Ponta do Pargo and the 140m high cascata da Garganta Funda waterfall; one of the highest waterfalls on the island. Make a lunch stop and end the day in Calheta – home to one of the island’s few surviving rum distilleries.
End your week with a walk along the barren Ponta Sao Lourenco peninsula, with a visit to Machico - the spot where Joao Goncalves Zarco and Trisao Vaz Texiera first landed when they discovered the island on 1st July 1419.
You'll return your hire car to the airport before flying home.
