Map

Location

The Quinta do Arco by Pestana is our top tip for those seeking peace and quiet or for couples in love. It is situated amidst green mountains in the north of Madeira and is an ideal starting point for hikes. Harmoniously integrated into the rural life of the region, you will spend tranquil days here, far away from the bustling island capital of Funchal in the south. Shopping facilities and the popular "The Arco" restaurant are located in the small village of "Arco de Sao Jorge". The center of Funchal can be reached in approximately 50 minutes by car (50 km). Madeira International Airport is approximately 37 km away. We recommend booking a rental car (EDV-Code: FNC150A).

Seasonal information

A stay at the Quinta do Arco is particularly worthwhile in the summer months, when over 1500 rose species are in bloom and emit an irresistible fragrance. As a guest of the resort, you naturally have unlimited and free access. However, a stay is also worthwhile in the winter months, when you can sit comfortably in your villa in the evening with a glass of wine by the crackling fireplace and look back on your day.
