A Charming Garden Retreat in Madeira

Discover a peaceful escape surrounded by nature at Casas de Pedra, a charming garden agritourism retreat located in Vale Paraíso, Camacha, Madeira Island. Carefully restored from century‑old stone stables, this unique property blends historical character with modern comfort, offering an authentic and relaxing stay on the island. Set within approximately 5,000 m² of lush gardens at an altitude of 730 metres, Casas de Pedra provides a tranquil atmosphere with panoramic views and a climate ideal for a remarkable botanical garden. The estate hosts both the guest houses and the owners’ residence, ensuring attentive hospitality while maintaining total privacy for guests. The gardens are one of the highlights of the property. Throughout the year, guests can experience the changing colours and fragrances of carefully selected plants adapted to Madeira’s mountain climate. From January to April, the garden comes alive with spectacular blooms of Camellias, Azaleas, Rhododendrons and Magnolias. This is followed by the vibrant flowering of hybrid Rhododendrons from April to May, and later the stunning Hydrangeas that dominate the garden in July and August. As the flowering season ends, new growth prepares the landscape for the following year’s blooms, creating a garden that is beautiful in every season. Casas de Pedra is conveniently located about 15 km from Madeira International Airport and approximately 15 km from the city of Funchal, offering the perfect balance between peaceful countryside and easy access to the island’s main attractions.
