About this property

Haystack - Family Garcês

An old haystack, inserted between the vineyards grown on the property.
Located on the Costa da Laurissilva, at Sítio da Terra Chã, 5 minutes walk from the same village.

The property has a total area of 5050 m2, where agricultural activity is carried out for consumption, with many fruit trees and laurels (laurel). An activity that is contemplated in the agricultural activity, is the culture of the vine for consumption (the traditional vine Jaqué and the strawberry vine, traditionally known as American grape in the Madeira Archipelago). The wine is produced in the property's mill, a traditional Madeiran stick and spindle mill (where customers can participate in these works if they wish) and later the wine is kept at the Adega / Museu Garcês.

Upon arrival, guests are offered a wine produced on the property by the managing partners. There is a day in the week when the wines produced on the property are tasted, if there is interest in the customers.

On the property there is a traditional Madeiran steakhouse (with oven, barbecue area and home) to be used by customers.

There is a bicycle rental service (adult and child), so that customers can visit the interior of the village and surroundings.

Free Wi-Fi system inside and outside the haystack.

The living room with sofa bed and TV (DTT), private and personalized toilet, balconies overlooking the vineyards of the property, valleys and surrounding mountains.

Possibility of preparing meals in the fully equipped kitchen.

The property is a 3-minute drive from the São Vicente Caves and Volcanism Center, the pharmacy, supermarket, traditional Madeiran dining area, post office and the sea / beach for surfing.

A great place to stay
We totally enjoyed our stay at Elda & Leonels place. They are very warm and welcoming persons. The little house on the property is the perfect place to relax. We had a great breakfast in the sun on the balcony and enjoyed the view of the mountains. Leonel brought us fresh eggs from his chickens every day, which we were really happy about! We were also allowed to try his homemade wine, which is really delicious! In the end, we took a bottle home with us :-) From the accommodation, you can walk to the sea, the supermarket and restaurants in just a few minutes. You can park your car right around the corner. We can really recommend the accommodation & would love to come back again.

Fantastic property and host
Really nice unit on a large property overlooking the town. Accessible and well furnished with an easy walk to several restaurants, bars, and grocery store. Host even came by to serve us some of his wine from the barrel!

Origineel en authentiek
De woning heeft een heel leuke inrichting en al het nodige is aanwezig voor een verblijf met 2 personen. De woning is gelegen op een heel ruim terrein. Het zwembad met ligweide heeft zicht op de schitterende bergen. Je zit in een rustige omgeving, niet overdreven toeristisch, maar toch overal dichtbij. 1/2 u van Funchal en centraal gelegen om het ganse eiland te verkennen. De heel lieve eigenaars geven je heel enthousiast de nodige tips voor uitstappen en restaurants om je vakantie helemaal te laten slagen.
