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 17th-century main house, Quinta das Vinhas (now the hotel area), is situated in a large vineyard with views of the sea, the surrounding hilly landscape, and the mountains. A characteristic feature of the Quinta is the old gate dating back to 1685, which is no longer used as the main entrance today. The nearest beach is approx. 3 km away. Restaurants and bars are located approx. 3 km away. Calheta is approx. 5 minutes away, Jardim do Mar approx. 10 minutes, Funchal approx. 35 minutes, and Madeira International Airport is approx. 50 minutes away by car.

• All hot water for the bungalows/cottages is solar-heated. • Selected cleaning products are used for housekeeping.
• Natural materials were preferred during renovation and construction to provide more comfort.
• The new buildings were designed to require only a minimal number of radiators and no air conditioning (thick walls and heavy roof insulation ensure a stable interior temperature).
• The vineyards operated by the Quinta are managed biodynamically and sustainably. All gardens of the Quinta das Vinhas are maintained in a sustainable and biodynamic manner.
