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

Day 1

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.

Day 2

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.

Day 3

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.

Day 4

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.

Day 5

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.

Day 6
