About this property

Surrounded by Nature - Casa da Cebola

This secluded two-storey country house is the perfect retreat for those seeking a holiday destination in a rural setting. Surrounded by lush greenery and set within the residential complex of a Madeiran farm, this house offers everything you need for an excellent stay.

On the ground floor of this rustic house, you will find a double bedroom with a wardrobe and a window overlooking the countryside, a bathroom with a bath, a cosy living room with a fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen with a wood-burning oven, and a dining area. On the upper floor, with its low sloping ceilings, there are two further comfortable double bedrooms and a guest bathroom with a bath. The wood-burning fireplace in the living room creates a cosy, homely atmosphere, making it the ideal spot in the house to enjoy in company on cold winter days and, in summer, to shelter from the hot mountain sun. The interior architecture of the house is typical of the local area, Camacha, which makes the experience even more authentic.

Furthermore, the house is surrounded by gardens featuring centuries-old trees, providing a natural setting. With the privacy offered by this secluded property, you can relax and enjoy a peaceful atmosphere, in a perfect spot for those wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.

Maximum capacity for 6 people.
Wi-Fi available throughout the house.

AREA
This property is located in Camacha, in a very peaceful area called Vale Paraíso. Near this house you will find restaurants with typical Madeiran gastronomy. The centre of Camacha is 4 minutes away. Here you will find supermarkets, bars, restaurants, the parish church and access to the Levada do Caniço.

Camacha is considered the cultural capital of Madeira for keeping alive its ancient traditions, namely its colourful and lively Folklore and Ethnographic Groups and its highly regarded handicrafts, specializing in a great variety of wicker objects and regional embroidery. A place to visit during your stay in Madeira.

Camacha is about 20 minutes drive from the Funchal centre and 18 minutes from the airport. If you choose to go to the Funchal centre, take the opportunity to explore the city and find out more information about all sorts of activities you can do during your holiday: cultural activities, radical activities, nature related activities... whatever the purpose of your visit to Madeira Island!

GETTING AROUND
The best option to get to the property will be the transfer. Ask us to book one with our local partners. It is cheaper than the taxis you find at the airport. If you rent a car, any navigation app can easily find the address.

Nice experience in learning to know Madeira

Casa Cebola is a nice, little house with all the simple comfort. The house is more near a provincial road situated than expected, so the busy road gives a lot a traffic noise.
Response from VrboOwner on 31 Oct 2025

A charming house

We enjoyed our stay at Casa da Cebola, located in a nice little garden, in a fresh and relatively quiet place 20 minutes away from Funchal. The house has character and is clean, the kitchen is well-equipped and the beddings comfortable. We mostly deplore that the dish-washer was out of use during our stay, and that, contrary to the house description, we had no access to a washing machine.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the house, its location, and the comfortable bedding. We're sorry about the issues with the washing machine, dishwasher, and the communication with Joana. We'll make sure these points are addressed. We appreciate your understanding and hope you still had a pleasant stay.

comfortable country retreat near Funchal

Conveniently located for visiting Funchal and middle and eastern Madeira yet away from the hustle and bustle up in the hills and set in a natural environment. House was fine for 2 people using downstairs bedroom and bathroom - we didn't use the upstairs but it would have presented problems for tall people due to sloping ceilings. Facilities were as described - its not the most luxurious but facilities are complete and functional and pretty much as per the photos

Nice garden with a beautiful but old fashioned house

The house was nice but a bit old fashioned, the bathroom in the first floor had no shower, it should be fixed. The sink in the washroom ground floor was blocked. The fire place had no wood and the electrical heater was underpowered. Daytimes there was a lot of traffic noise…at night it was o.k. But it’s an ideal place for hiking. The garden was lovely.

Mooi huisje op fijne locatie!

We hebben een fijn verblijf gehad in Casa da Cebola. Goede ligging (met auto), netjes en alles wat je nodig hebt voor handen. Door de vochtigheid hangt er wel een specifieke geur in het huisje. De wasmachine, droger en strijkplank hebben we niet kunnen vinden.
Response from VrboOwner on 12 Aug 2025
Bedankt voor uw feedback. We zijn blij dat u genoten heeft van de ligging en de voorzieningen. Onze excuses voor het ongemak met de vaatwasser, het ontbreken van de wasmachine/droger en de geur door vochtigheid. We pakken dit aan en hopen u in de toekomst weer te verwelkomen.

Casita en paraje natural

Casita acogedora en un paraje natural increíble. Buena comunicación con Funchal y las carreteras principales de la isla. Dispone de todas las comodidades necesarias para pasar unos días increíbles en la isla. Camas muy cómodas y el silencio de la zona ayuda al descanso a pesar de estar cerca de una carretera. Lo único a mejorar son los cuartos de baño. Volvería a esta casa
