Map

Location

The Quinta do Arco by Pestana is our insider tip for those seeking peace and quiet or for couples in love. It is located amidst green mountains in the north of Madeira and is ideally suited as a starting point for hikes. Harmoniously integrated into the rural life of the region, you will spend rather peaceful days here, far from the bustling island capital Funchal in the south of the island. In the small village of "Arco de Sao Jorge", you will find shops and the popular restaurant "The Arco". The center of Funchal can be reached in about 50 minutes by car (50 km). Madeira International Airport is about 37 km away. We recommend booking a rental car (EDV code: FNC150A).

Seasonal information

A stay at Quinta do Arco is particularly worthwhile during the summer months, when over 1500 varieties of roses are in bloom and exude an irresistible fragrance. As a guest of the estate, you naturally have unlimited and free admission. However, a stay is also worthwhile in the winter months, when you can spend the evening cozily with a glass of wine by the crackling fireplace in your villa, reflecting on the day.
