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 !

From London, United Kingdom May 2008

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."

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.
