Rent Villa Unambiguous Fringe-Tree Portugal
Holiday Home Rental Description
Character and style ooze from every corner of this three-generational family cottage nestled away in the bucolic hillsides fringing the village of São Jorge in northern Madeira and just a short drive from the coast.
Outside, amidst century-old vines, you’ll find a panoramic terrace prime for sundowners. Step inside, where an authentic wine press used for decades by the family nod to the cottage’s past, while the rest of the home has been carefully reimagined for easy, breezy holidaying. Think newly fitted bathrooms and a free-flowing, light-filled living space with a vast farmhouse-style kitchen table at its heart. And you’ll love the novelty of climbing that spiral staircase when it’s time to bank a blissful night’s sleep in the top-floor bedroom. Sleeping three all in a row, it’s perfect for a small family or older children sharing.
Immersed in verdant green mountains and vineyards, you could feel a million miles from anywhere here. But when it’s time to dip your toes into the local culture (and perhaps some grapes too with a vineyard visit?), you’re closer to the bustle than you think. Just 400 metres away, you’ll find a traditional restaurant and tea rooms (good luck trying to resist that Madeira honey cake). And don’t miss the magnificent hiking trail of Levada do Rei weaving through the lush green forests and waterfalls of Laurissilva – it’s paradise on earth.
