About this property

CASA DOS CASTANHEIROS - Charming countryside Cottage


The house is an old farmhouse built in the 18th century in the middle of a vast family forest estate called Vale Paraiso. Transformed at the beginning of the 20th century into a summer residence, the house has belonged to the same family for more than a century. The Vale Paraiso estate has been divided over the generations but this house, the forest and the garden that surrounds it have been kept in their original area without division for 100 years. Entirely refurbished in 2002, this house welcomes every year a united family very attached to its roots and, in 2022, they have decided to welcome visitors and share the warmth and the cozyness that they have been keeping with lots of love.

Around 20 min from the airport and 10 min from the city center.


Because its gardens and land all around it are huge, and there is a pond, adult supervision required at all times!

The housekeeper and the gardener work at the property every day from 8:00am to 4:00pm.
They give our guests full privacy but, due to the size of the land, their presence is required. Sometimes, you won't even see them.

La maison est une ancienne ferme de montagne construite au 18eme siècle au milieu d’un domaine forestier familial très vaste appelé Vale Paraiso. Transformée au début du 20e siècle en résidence d’été la maison appartient à la même famille depuis plus d’un siècle. Le domaine Vale Paraiso a été divisé au fil des générations mais cette maison, la forêt et le jardin qui l’entoureent a été conservée dans sa superficie d’origine sans division depuis 100 ans. Entièrement réaménagée en 2002 cette maison accueille tous les ans une famille unie très attachée à ses racines qui souhaite aujourd’hui faire partager aux visiteurs la chaleur d’une maison ouverte et confortable entretenue avec amour.

Parce que le terrain est très grand et qu'il y a un étang, la surveillance d'un adulte est requise à tout moment.

La gouvernante et le jardinier travaillent sur la propriété tous les jours de la semaine de 8h00 à 16h00. Ils donnent à nos invités une totale intimité, mais leur présence sur les lieux est obligatoire, car la propriété a besoin d'un entretien constant.

ECOTAX - IMPORTANT INFORMATION!!
During check-in, we ask our guests to hand out, in cash, the County of Santa Cruz Eco Tax.
This Tax is mandatory for any guests 13 or older.
The tax is €2/guest/night, up to 7 nights (max of €14/guest)

Beautiful place
We stayed for only a week while we needed an alternative for a double booked holiday villa. This house however offered much more than expected. A beautiful location, fabulous garden, close to walking trails and Funchal city. The house itself was also beautiful, full of history. We loved it here.

AMAZING
From the moment we arrived to the moment we left the property, we felt so taken care of and inspired by the beauty around us. The gardeners of the property, Jose and Veronica, made us feel very at home & showed us around the entire beautiful estate. We couldn't believe we were lucky enough to be on such a stunning and large property, especially at the price we got it. We felt it was private and romantic, and the perfect place to be. Veronica filled the house with fresh-cut flowers from outside, this was one of my favourite parts about the interior. There were even planted roses next to the bathtub. We enjoyed lemons and walnuts grown fresh on the property and met with the wildlife who share the property too. During our stay, a lamb and her babies, ducks, cats, rabbits, and more were a pleasure to see. We could also hike through some trails next to the property and enjoy many walks. We already miss this place and are so grateful we were able to spend part of our trip to Madeira here! We would recommend this place to anyone! 10/10. Thank you to everyone who made our stay so lovely!

Da non perdere
Fantastica casa, isolata e tranquilla ma comoda per raggiungere ogni luogo dell’isola. Giardino enorme e curatissimo. Self check in con istruzioni accurate. Impagabile il fascino antico che vi si respira. Consigliata.
