We have stayed here for a week in January 2013 and have had a wonderful time. Very friendly personnel, beautiful and quiet surroundings full of flowers, away from mass tourism, excellent hiking opportunities (even a trail running directly from the estate), only 10 or 15 minutes by car to the capital. The cottages have basic but clean and cosy interiors,... More

In the first week of March we rented the beautiful cottage 'Palheirinho' from Casas Valleparaizo. Manager Sofia, housekeeper Leonor and the other staff make you feel welcome. Situated in a botanical garden that is well kept and quiet. Walk 5 mins higher up hill and you'll get a sea view! Recommended!

Casa da Eira on the estate of Casas Valleparaízo, Camacha, Madeira was exactly as described and absolutely charming. Set in wonderful grounds with apparently 7 other cottages (couldn't find them all!)and teeming with collected plant specimens it was peaceful, beautiful and a total getaway. We were made to feel very welcome and nothing seemed too much trouble for either Sophie... More

Very near to Funchal (however you need a car in any case) this place called "paradise valley" is really a beautiful place! Surrounded by a huge garden you will find various small and medium houses; just check out the homepage of Casas Valleparaizo. We enjoyed our breakfast (quite often outside in the sun; it was December!) in a relaxed and... More

In April we had a wonderful holliday on Madeira. We stayed on Valleparaizo, Camacha, surrounded by beautiful trees, plants and flowers and rushing rivers.The animals completed it. A real paradise! Inside the cottages are quiet and with a fireplace and well equiped and good beds. The cottages have many privacy, because the other ones are on distance. Leonor was very... More

We stayed in Maçã and totally fell in love with it. Having breakfast on the patio surrounded by tropical plants, and rushing rivers, finding a peacock strolling around, sitting around an open fire every evening sipping delicious madeira wine, the bread delivered every day. The casas are so close to Funchal and the airport but they are surrounded by nature... More

We stayed here for 2 weeks of relaxation, sight seeing, and hiking, and this place perfectly suited our needs. There are a couple of very cozy casas on the premises, dropped against the mountain side. Although only a short drive away from the airport, and close to supermarkets, restaurants, and the city of Funchal, the place felt pleasantly secluded. Each... More

We stayed three nights at Casa das Penhas and had a wonderful time there. Dona Sofia and Senhora Leonor gave us a very warm welcome and despite the relatively fresh December weather, our house was well heated upon our arrival. We felt immediately at home. A pile of firewood and dry pine cones aside the chimney invited us to light... More

Valleparaizo is really a unique place to stay and to discover the true beauty of Madeira. I was there just for a few days and I certainly hope to come back again in the future. This is the perfect spot to relax enjoying a quiet natural environment and and yet it is just a few miles away from Funchal (less... More
