Location

The lovingly restored Quinta is located in Estreito da Calheta, between the two picturesque villages of Calheta and Jardim do Mar, on the sunny southwest coast of the island of Madeira. The main house, dating from the 17th century, Quinta das Vinhas (now the hotel area), is situated in a large vineyard overlooking the sea and the surrounding hills and mountains. The characteristic feature of the Quinta is the old gate from 1685, which is no longer used as the main entrance today. The nearest beach is about 3 km away. Restaurants and bars are about 3 km away. Calheta is about 5 minutes, Jardim do Mar about 10 minutes, Funchal about 35 minutes, and Madeira International Airport about 50 minutes away by car.
