🌿 Casa Žerotín – A Peaceful Madeiran Hideaway with History and Heart Discover the authentic side of Madeira at Casa Žerotín, a charming country residence belonging to the noble Žerotín family. Nestled in the quiet hills of São Gonçalo, just above Funchal, this beautifully restored home combines historic character with the serenity of rural Madeira. Here, you can truly slow down and enjoy the island at your own pace — wake up to birdsong, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and watch the Atlantic glisten in the distance. Within only a 15-minute drive, you’ll reach Funchal’s vibrant city center and the sun-soaked beaches of Caniço de Baixo. The famous Levada trails start close by, perfect for scenic hikes through Madeira’s lush landscapes. Golf lovers will appreciate having Palheiro Golf Resort just minutes away. After a day of exploring, relax in one of the nearby local restaurants and enjoy genuine Madeiran dishes at friendly neighborhood prices. Several bus lines connect you directly to Funchal’s center until midnight — or simply use your private parking space (for two cars) for easy access by car. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful getaway, an active hiking holiday, or an authentic Madeiran experience, Casa Žerotín is the perfect place to feel at home on this beautiful island.
