Afonso is situated in Estreito de Câmara de Lobos, in a agricultural
region well known for the production of the famous Madeira Wine. The Vila has a panoramic view over the psicatorial and agricultural village of Câmara de Lobos. This region is very interesting because of the beauty that the bananal and the vineyard provide to the Madeira landscape. This is by excellency the ideal place to make public madeira's landscape, as well as the ways customs of the madeirean culture.
The
house, that we believe was built in the XVIII century, was reconstructed
in 1999, and there was an extreme care not to change it's simple architecture,
It's natural raw materials were emphasised: the exposure of the ashlar masonry,
from a stone quarry extinct nowadays.Vila Afonso has an agricultural area approximately 7.000 m2, where you can enjoy in-loco the production of banana and wine.
The latter is considered to be the main production at the Vila and "Negra-Mol"
grape is very used in this process of wine making. In its wine cellar, we
can still find nowadays some private reserve from the middle of the XX century.
The host has at it´s disposal, 3 bedrooms for non-smokers with private
