Madeira has cast off its fuddy-duddy image and offers everything from extreme sports to extreme natural beauty. Quintas are Madeiran manor houses converted into boutique hotels in a garden setting. Expect spa treatments, horse riding, golf, levada walks and whale watching. A great short-haul option with year-round sunshine.

Of all the wonderful hotels which we offer in Madeira, it is the Quintas which are perhaps the most romantic. These 19th century manor houses have been carefully converted into some of the island’s finest boutique hotels, filled with antiques and country-house charm.
All relatively small in size, these four and five-star hotels are each set in a glorious and secluded location, making them an ideal choice for a romantic honeymoon. Some are located close to the island’s capital of Funchal, whilst others are set in lush green valleys surrounded by vineyards and subtropical fruit orchards.
Each places an emphasis on high quality dining, with a range of impressive restaurants offering gourmet food including local products.
Most offer a range of other facilities including spas, lounges with fireplaces, wine cellars, pools, gardens and games rooms. We’ll help you find the perfect choice to suit you.
There is no shortage of year-round activities for couples to enjoy – climb to the top of Cabo Girao for amazing views (the second highest peak in Europe), visit the Farmer’s Market in Funchal (best on Friday morning), wander around the Rose Garden in Arco de Sao Jorge, go levada walking and whale-watching and indulge in afternoon tea at Reid’s Palace. There’s canyoning, big game fishing, paragliding and scuba diving if you’re feeling energetic.
As specialists, we offer a wide range of hotels in Funchal and countryside and coastal gems elsewhere in Madeira. Our favourite choices for honeymooners are Quinta Jardins do Lago, Quinta das Vistas, Quinta da Casa Branca and Quinta do Monte in Funchal and Quinta do Arco in Arco de Sao Jorge.
