We welcome you to the majestic north coast of Madeira, where the mountains fall into the surfed sea. This is the place for relax and mountain hikes. This is the place to refresh your body and spirit.

Casa das Videiras lies in the picturesque village of Seixal. The village is an agricultural and fishing village. It has the most charming people, natural and hospitable, and they are not yet run over with the tourist trade. Still you can find
several good local restaurants and bars near the house. Try the fish specialities, and do not forget the local vine. The typical Madeira vine can be a bit strong, so be careful with the number of glasses. The name Casa das Videiras is named after the vine plant.

Casa D. Dinis, Marvão

You will find Casa D. Dinis, inside the walls, on the top of the highest Portuguese village in one of the many ancient and well-preserved houses, benefiting from one of the most privileged situations in Marvão.

MARVÃO – Heritage of Humanity - Official application by the Portuguese state.
Medieval burgh of unique features at 800m height, "a unique creation of Man and Nature"

From an artistic arrangement that combines the pictures and tissues of the atelier "Chão da Casa" with the mural paintings and designed details of the dutch artist Anu Kruijtbosch, results an original decoration that personalizes each one of its spaces.

The stones of the arches, the staircase and the outline of the windows that quietly watch the village from the high that look around the vast of heaven are the present witness of a live past.
