Very beautiful house with amazing ocean view, everything was perfect Buy an airplane ticket, contact Jose, rent a car and look forward to a perfect vacation. Almost every hiking trails starts in the house area Madeira is a hit

We had a wonderful time the house was perfect for large groups of friends or just family like us. The owners were very helpful and friendly. We would like to thank them for such a lovely time and would definately recommend the house to friends.

The house is really big and comfortable. The rooms are spacious and have an en-suite bathroom. The house and kitchen are fully equiped with anything you may need. It is situated in a quiet village and the surrounding vineyard give you plenty of privacy. The owners were very friendly and the week went far too quickly so we never had a chance to meet them properly. I would definitely like to go back. We had a great family holiday!

A lovely villa set in peaceful surroundings with a wonderful view of the ocean. We found it to be in an excellent location for touring the North and East coasts of Madeira - although any destination is never very far away on this beautiful island. Many local restaurants enabled us to enjoy Madeiran meals at very reasonable prices. The supermarket in Santana was close enough to provide any supplies that we needed. The end-of-vacation barbeque provided by the owner was a fitting ending to a glorious 2-weeks of sun and relaxation by the pool. We will come again !

Lovely location overlooking the ocean and a working lighthouse within a couple of hundred meters - almost our bedside light! We stayed in the smaller of the two properties that share a pool and are enclosed within a working vineyard on the site. Clean and contemporary feel to the property with a subtle vineyard theme. Pace of life here is wonderfully unhurried compared to our London lives. We received a very warm and informative welcome from the owner - which included where to obtain provisions, possible walks, points of interest etc. - and he even left us wit a sample of their own wine. This we enjoyed that with local seafood cooked on the poolside barbecue a couple of days later - very good. Several guidebook walks pass right through the village, but probably hiring a car if you decide to stay here is the most flexible approach. The Northern side of the Island is less populous than the south and this made Casa do Lagar feel like a wonderful retreat and yet it was close enough to various restaurants etc that if we did feel like letting someone else do the cooking it was easily done. Many thanks for a fabulous holiday retreat."

This is a really lovely property and is plenty big enough for a couple of a small family. Set amongst a small vineyard you have 360 degree unspoilt views of the mountains, surrounding countryside and ocean. The rooms are clean and modern and very homely. As another reviewer pointed out the pool / bbq area is shared by the other villa, but we were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves. Highly recommend if you want to get away from it all.

Nice stylish house in the charming town of Sao Jorge about 50 min away from Funchal. The house is just huge and has nice view of the ocean and the lighthouse. The owner was very nice waiting for us as we had a late arrival. The down side was the swimimng pool as the water was too cold and mainly German TV channels on the sat. Other than that great value for our money.

The property was excellent for location and space. It is quick and easy to get to from Funchal airport and has fantastic views over the ocean. The bedrooms were decorated very well with a great added touch of blackout lined curtains and very comfortable beds resulting in very good nights sleep! Unfortunately the pool was out of action on our visit due to being end of season but the veranda was pleasant to sit on anyway. Regarding the description of the property I would note that it does not have 2 cots it actually has 2 fold out camp beds therefore be aware if you need cots its best to talk to the owner beforehand. Overall a very nice stay on the island.

very nice and quite ,the owners are evry informative

We had thge smaller of the two villas for a week. It is very spacious (3 bathrooms, 2 beds, large sitting area). To be clear, you share the complex area - and therefore the pool/barbecue area -which the larger villa, but we didnt find that a problem. There is also a small laundry room attached to the bigger house, where there is a washing machine. The area itself is very remote as its on the outrskirts of the Sao Jorge village, but we found that very relaxing. The owners - 2 brothers - were both lovely, and helpful. There was a minor issue with the pool one day, but it got sorted out as soon as the issue was raised. We found that the local area was nice for walking in, there is a 10k walk nearby which was not too challenging, and really pretty, especially the watefall. There are local shops in the village, plus a big supermarket on the way to Santana, which is where we did all our foodshopping. we didnt find that it was very expensive, which is a relief, as eating out in Funchal would have been very expensive indeed. We arrived straight from the Easyjet flight which landed midmorning, and the place wasnt actually ready, the maid was still cleaning and said that it would be ready at about 3pm - you should bear that in mind (although it was fine to leave stuff there, its not quite the same as being able to jump in the shower straight away!). Another thing is that there isnt actually internet in the house. The owner who lives locally offered to lend us his dongle/usb stick to receive it. If you need to be plugged into the web, you might want to look at bringing your own computer/dongle, as the only internet cafe we saw was in funchal, and that only opens at midday daily.
