Laurel & Vine Calheta, Madeira

Property Description

Situated on a vineyard property spanning over 2.5 hectares, this Madeira home is a wine lover’s dream come true. From the cosy living room to the private patio boasting gorgeous forest views, there are plenty of spots to choose from when it comes to unwinding with a glass of red. In fact, we wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to relax here all day, topping up your tan in the glorious sunshine and listening to the breeze whistling through the ancient trees. Heaven.

If you’re in the mood for something less sedate though, you’re just a forty-five-minute drive from the heart of Funchal, home to some of the most spectacular architecture on Portugal's Madeira archipelago. Gaze up at the carved wooden ceiling of Funchal Cathedral, unleash your inner art critic at the Contemporary Art Museum, or go for a quick dip in the Atlantic at Praia Formosa. Safe to say, this place has something for everyone.
