In 2012 we decided that we wanted to share this wonderful place with the world. So we renovated the vila and transformed the it into the 5 modern appartments they are today. The 5 apartments all cary their own name and each room is a little bit diferent but they all have their own bathrooms and kitchens. The Vila is a very tranquil place, especially the outdoor areas. Os Borracheiros means the room of the wine carriers. Most of the vineyards of Madeira are found on platues that reach up the steep slopes of the mountains. Here the grapes got handpicked, and locally pressed in a wine press called “lagar”. The local pressing of the grapes made the transport to the wine maker just a little bit lighter. For centuries the wine got transported in a “Borracho”, a traditional goatskin bag.This heavy task was carried out by long qeues of strong men who sometimes walked more than 20 km per day carrying these bags that weighed up to 50 kg. By using the " BORRACHO " these men were known as "BORRACHEIROS".It is said that the borracheiros somtimes drank little bits of the wine to lighten their load,therefor the word “borracho” is still used as a synonym for being a bit typsy, the spanish even addopted this word. "Os Borracheiros is a spacious studio apartment that sleeps two people. The apartment includes a tv, a fully equiped kitchenette and an ensuite bathroom. The shared outside area's include a large terrace, outdoor cooking area. We also have a heather saltwater pool and a large forest garden that lies behind the house. While you walk through the garden the rest of the world simply seems to disappear, all you hear are the birds and the sound of the streaming water. Along the garden path there are many sitting area's where you can enjoy nature or read a book. With all the nature surrounding you, it will feel like you are miles away from civalization, where as in fact Calheta village is just around the corner, and it's beautiful beach is only 2 km away! Whe are also just 5 km away from Rabacal Valley, this is where some of Madeira's most famous walks start. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Outdoor pool ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Electric car charging station on site - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchenette - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Motor boating nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Electric car charging station - Garden - Property does not allow children ## Policies ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds This property does not allow children ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed This property accepts cash Onsite parties or group events are strictly prohibited Host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector with you on the trip Host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property Safety features at this property include a fire extinguisher This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.
