Acerca de este alojamiento
Charming stone cottage in Funchal | Casa Vinhas
Casa das Vinhas es una de las tres gemas restauradas con encanto que se encuentran dentro de la finca de trabajo de 4 hectáreas de Quinta Vista Alegre, donde se cultivan bananos y viñedos y se cuidan jardines tropicales centenarios. Sorprendentemente, este oasis de tranquilidad se encuentra en la principal zona turística de Funchal, cerca del mar y del hotel Belmond Reid's Palace.
Convertido de la antigua casa de billar, los establos y el alojamiento de Factor, las paredes de la cabaña son de piedra original y los interiores son espaciosos, con personalidad y bien diseñados con muebles y equipamiento de alta calidad. La piscina grande se comparte con el propietario y su familia (durante algunos días del año, esto puede incluir niños de la familia). El patio delantero está sombreado por enredaderas y una zona de descanso compartida, rodeada de plataneros, tiene 4 sillas, mesa y sombrilla, el lugar perfecto para leer algo ligero o para disfrutar de una copa por la noche.
Casa das Vinhas está en la planta baja y tiene capacidad para 2 personas. La entrada se encuentra directamente en el salón / comedor, que está amueblado con un alto nivel, algunas piezas elaboradas localmente con madera de la finca. El sofá, dos sillones y la mesa de comedor tienen capacidad para 4 personas (ideal para compartir con amigos / familiares que se hospedan en la puerta de al lado) y hay lámparas de mesa para leer. Hay un televisor con canales por cable y satélite, incluyendo canales alemanes. La cocina pequeña de la esquina tiene vitrocerámica, microondas / horno combinado, nevera, tostadora y hervidor de agua y un montón de vajilla / servicio / equipo de cocina.
El dormitorio (con cama doble grande) tiene un armario empotrado con cajones (y una caja de seguridad pequeña), una sección de tocador con espejo y un cuarto de baño con ducha grande, lavabo, bidé y W. C.
Una puerta de entrada eléctrica y privada conduce a un aparcamiento seguro compartido y a un camino corto y adoquinado. Casa das Vinhas está completamente en la planta baja, ideal para los menos móviles.
Ropa de cama, baño y toallas de piscina y limpieza semanal se proporcionan. Hay una sala de lavandería separada compartida con lavadora, secadora, plancha y tabla de planchar disponibles para los huéspedes.
Estas villas en Funchal son solo para adultos y no aceptan niños. La piscina se puede utilizar de 09:00 a 17:00. Wi-Fi gratis y un altavoz Bluetooth están disponibles para uso de los huéspedes. Se proporciona un ventilador eléctrico en verano y un calentador eléctrico portátil en los meses de invierno.
La finca de 4 acres de Quinta Vista Alegre ha estado en la familia Zino durante 70 años, siendo los propietarios la tercera generación. La casa principal (actualmente ocupada por los propietarios) fue construida alrededor de 1867. Es una quinta en activo que cultiva viñas y plátanos. Gran parte del jardín fue diseñado por una familia inglesa, los Stanford, entre 1902 y 1912, y Charles Thomas-Stanford escribió "Hojas de un jardín de Madeira" sobre su jardín y la isla.
Frente a la entrada a Quinta Vista Alegre (donde se encuentran las cabañas) se encuentra la entrada a Quinta Magnolia, anteriormente un club de campo británico que ahora es propiedad del gobierno. Aquí puede disfrutar de hermosos jardines, un circuito de ejercicios y dos canchas de tenis, todas ubicadas en un área de aproximadamente 40,000 metros cuadrados. En la misma calle, tiene los dos hoteles más prestigiosos de la isla, el Palacio de Belmond Reid y el Palacio Savoy. No hay otras villas en Madeira que ofrezcan esta mezcla de carácter tranquilo y tradición con una ubicación central muy buscada. Cerca se encuentran otros hoteles excelentes y una buena variedad de restaurantes, cafés, bares y pequeños supermercados. Puede disfrutar de la natación en el mar en el Lido público a aproximadamente 1 km a pie, o tal vez desee caminar por la costa en esta área. El centro de la ciudad de Funchal está a solo 20 minutos a pie (menos de 2 kilómetros). Los autobuses / taxis son cercanos y frecuentes. Un coche no es esencial pero es recomendable explorar esta hermosa isla.

An oasis in Funchal
We stayed for two weeks in March. The cottage is clean, spacious, airy, comfortable, south facing and delightfully situated in a private estate. The owners are very pleasant and helpful. Their Estate is a pleasant 15 minute walk, all downhill, into town.
If you plan to rent a car get a small one as the entrance to the drive is narrow and manoeuvering within the car park tricky.
If you plan to do a lot of cooking get up to date with the concept of combi microwave ovens.
We hope to return.

The property was as described and provided a very comfortable base. The property is within easy walking distance of Funchal city centre and the restaurants and amenities of the Lido area. Please be aware though that, if you have any mobility or respiratory issues, it is a steep walk back! We hired a car, a Qashqui, which was on the large side for the awkward gateway and parking arrangement. It was wonderful however to have the independence of a car to explore the island! The property is on a working banana plantation and we loved seeing some of them being harvested. It was amazing to experience this so close to the city centre and we felt privileged to stay in this quiet and secluded spot with so much still on our doorstep! We stayed three weeks and the property received a thorough clean and new bed linen, towels etc each week.

Even Better.....
I must admit to a certain amount of anxiety on two counts. We had stayed at Casa do Feitor last year and I was concerned that a second stay could not match the surprising comfort of the first, and that perhaps the standards had slipped a bit with time. I needn't have worried.
This is a remarkable property. I provides everything that we could wish for in a holiday home. Yes, it is clean, yes, it is very well maintained, yes, it is equipped to a very high standard, and yes it is very well located, being within walking distance of the centre of wonderful Funchal and yet having a privacy that you would only expect in a much more rural setting. But over and above all that there is a ambience to the place; a feeling of being in the right place. And this is accomplished without any feeling of being fussed over; Buffy is always available without being intrusive. I can recommend Quinta Vista Alegre cottages without reservation; the perfect context in which to explore Madeira.

Wonderful restorative retreat
This is a fantastic property, extremely well appointed and comfortable with everything we could possibly have wanted to relax, unwind and enjoy our first holiday together in ages. The furniture and fittings were of a high quality and made eating in (almost) as much of a pleasure as eating out. It was a perfect ‘love nest’ and provided a relaxed atmosphere to rejuvenate and recharge our batteries.
It was spotlessly clean and the photographs and lay out provided are entirely accurate although, if anything, they undersell the charm and delights of the property and the area a little. The surroundings of the banana trees and vines around the cottage are stunning and waking in the morning with the soft light coming through the trees brought us a feeling of well being to start each day.
The owners were charming and helpful, though very discreet. The little touches of flowers and fruit, wine and a personal welcome were all delightful and the dog - a sweetie.
The property is centrally located and within easy walking distance of excellent restaurants, cafes and supermarkets and only 15 minutes walk into central Funchal itself. We had no transport but walked everywhere with no difficulty at all. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property, except that this may make it too popular and booking could be more difficult in the future. We have certainly found a retreat from our busy lives - we loved it.

Six Great Weeks!
We stayed in the “Casa das Vinhas” From January 25 to March 8, 2023 – Yes, 6 weeks! Lucky us!
We thoroughly enjoyed the property. We are walkers; we walked over 600 km while we were in Madeira, so the location was ideal for us as it gave us a chance to warm up walking to the old town in the morning and a chance to finish off our days with a walk back up to the casa.
The building itself suited our needs very well. It felt safe, secure, and peaceful and allowed us to relax and enjoy the tranquillity among the banana plants, amid the birds and butterflies and with visits from the 2 friendly dogs.
The property managers were quick to respond to any minor issues as they came up and were a pleasure to meet.
The housekeeper did an excellent and thorough job and the towels and bed linens are top quality.
We cooked about 60% of our meals at the casa and had pretty much everything we needed, including the barbeque, which we did make use of. We never really figured out how to do more than just microwave with the oven but didn’t really need it anyway.
Few rental units in Funchal have any form of central heat and we experienced some cold nights in January and early February. We made good use of the electric heater and hot-water bottle some nights! Other than those few nights, we were fine without a source of heat.
All in all, we had a very pleasant stay!

Eine Oase mitten in Funchal
Das Objekt entspricht der Beschreibung. Die Lage ist genial, wenn man zu Fuß Funchal erkunden möchte..
Der Pool ist riesig und lädt zum Schwimmen ein. Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Einziger Kritikpunkt: Die Außenmöbel sind alt und billig, das passt so gar nicht zum Rest des Hauses.

Fabulous, loved it!!
We loved the property & having a pool was a real luxury as we pretty much had it to ourselves the whole stay. Our cottage was lovely, had everything we needed & the grounds were really pretty. We didn’t meet the owners until the end of our stay as they were away. A really nice couple who we instantly liked. If we ever go back which I’m sure we will we would definitely stay there again without a doubt. The location is great as it’s away from the town but close enough to walk in.
An added bonus was that the owners have 2 lovely dogs who we adored as we a huge animal lovers

Fantastic little hideaway in the centre of Funchal
Enter Casa das Vinhas through a door in a wall...all very Harry Potter! It is very magical inside the walls. Peaceful. But...it is a working Quinta! Bananas surround you. The owners live closeby; they greet you and bid you farewell..but are there if you need anything. They are very lovely. You have everything you need. We hired a car but it did not leave the driveway. We walked everywhere. Loads of lovely places to see and lots to do. Restaurants and cafes abound.
Don't hesitate to book! You will have a fab time! Good travels. Ann

Absolutely loved it
This property is a hidden gem. It’s situation is great as everything is within walking distance but it’s away from the centre. The cottage was perfect for our needs, it was very clean & had everything we needed. We had the swimming pool to ourselves which was a real treat. The grounds were lovely & we fell in love with vista & Minnie, the owners dogs. We didn’t meet Frank & Buffy who are great until the end of our stay as they were away. I would highly recommend staying here if you want something a bit special. We will definitely stay here if we go back again.
They have their own taxi driver called Carlos who’s a real character & he will do the taxi transfers to the airport for a charge. He’s very informative on the area. We walked to the big supermarket once we had settled in to do a big shop & got Carlos to pick us up but after that there are plenty of little supermarkets nearer to pick up supplies.
We loved staying here & cant recommend it highly enough

A genuine hidden Madeiran gem! Beautiful hideaway unbelievably in a central location within Funchal
Although we only know a few places in Funchal we are sure that The Cottage must be one of the best. We had an unforgettable stay on the island in particular driven by the cottage both in its location and grounds - and most importantly our hosts . Everything was as described or better and the view from the cottage onto the grounds is simply amazing. Absolutely terrific hosts and their property offers something genuine and magical to visitors; a rare find where the original Madeiran culture meets modern needs. Situated in a quiet quarter in the town there is only a short walk to the sea, restaurants and city centre. The Island is really overwhelming with incredible landscapes and architecture. Thank you once again to our very kind hosts. Highly recommended and we would definitely stay again.

Truly is an oasis in central Funchal
We had never been to Madeira before and booked Casa das Vinhas after much deliberation. We were not disappointed. The cottage is clean, the bed comfortable, the living accomodation is bright and the kitchen well equipped with very good cooking facilities, should you wish to cook. There is even a barbecue.
The outdoor area is very spacious and the swimming pool is more than adequate. My husband and I had the full use of the pool to ourselves, very peaceful.
We loved seeing the owners dogs, who were very friendly on occasion, and Frank and Buffy are very welcoming, helpful and discreet.
It is a short walk down a hill to turn either left into the centre of Funchal and the port area, or right to the hotel strip, the first one on the main road is Reids Hotel, where you can book for a posh tea. There is a super market down the hill too.
Turn towards the centre and you get an excellent meal at Kontiki's, steak on the stone, and a good pint at No2 Pub.
Overall, an excellent base with peace and quiet, being amongst it all. We had a fab holiday. But, like all holidays in the heat, remember to take the sprays/creams in case you are bitten.
We hope to return to this beautiful oasis, Pauline and Brian

We are so glad, Pauline and Brian, that your holiday was such a success and glad that we managed to meet you on our return. The pool is very secluded and quiet which our guests appreciate and it is also a sun trap! As the pool is 12 x 6 meters one can really swim properly. Many of our guests call Quinta Stanford and oasis. We are so lucky having so much space in such a central area. We look forward to welcoming you back. Frank & Buffy Zino

Serendipity.
Serendipity is the first word that comes to mind when thinking of our recent stay here. Frank and Buffy have created a wonderful retreat within the grounds of their stunning property. The cottage we stayed in was very well equipped, stylishly appointent and wonderfully clean with thoughtful touches. The pool area was a particular favourite bordered with many flowers and vines. Plenty of space to sit out for breakfast and the mandatory G and T in the evening. You never felt you were in the middle of a buzzing city. When you did want to ventre out of the gated property there it was, the vibrant friendly city of funchal. Great eating places a short walk away, a great bakery just down the hill for your daily bread and the must have custard tarts. All this was topped by the caring approach of Buffy and Frank. There when you needed them and not when you didnt. Fabulous. A rare and special find. Would love to keep this place a secret but that would be really mean to deprive everyone of something that is unique. A special place one had the good fortune to come across. Go there while you can , not going to stay a secret for long. The last word. Serendipity.

Superb
Stayed here for 5 nights in late October. the cottage was well equipped and comfortably furnished,with an outdoor dining area amongst the banana trees. The pool was clean and just the right temperature for cooling off,with plenty of loungers available.
The cottage is ideally located,with many restaurants within a 5 minute walk,as well as two supermarkets.
Upon arrival we were greeted by the owner,having been collected from the airport by Carlos. The bottle of Madeira was a welcome touch and the kitchen was already supplied with tea bags.

Relaxing stay
Really enjoyed our stay in Casa das Vinhas. Top quality accommodation, styled really nicely and comfortably. Large pool with lounge chairs, sunny outside seating area to dine in, well located in between Funchal city/Port area and the tourist zone/Lido. We managed well without a car but you need to be able to manage a steep walk home. We weren't really disturbed by the road but it was hot sleeping at night without any air conditioning. Only 2 other cottages so it never felt over-crowded. Well stocked facilities which made a great home from home for our stay.

Many people manage well without a car as we are indeed central and public transport is excellent throughout the island. Having a 12m x 6m pool with a maximum of 4 other guests does stop overcrowding and is a good way to cool off in the heat!
