Quinta das Vistas Palace Gardens ★★★★★

It doesn’t take a linguist to figure out that you come to the Quinta das Vistas Palace Gardens ***** for the views, and the hotel truly lives up to its name. Turn in any direction and a new vista of Madeira opens up, beckoning you out to explore.

South to the rolling seas…
Sitting outside at the restaurant La Belle Terrasse at lunchtime, lounging by the infinity pool in the afternoon, or simply opening your curtains in the morning, you can’t escape the view of twinkling blue water catching your eye. Madeirans adore the ocean, and the hotel celebrates its wonders in its fantastic Chandra Spa and the traditional Portuguese seafood delicacies served up at its restaurant.

East to forested mountains…
Turn to the east to gaze upon Funchal’s pretty, red-topped houses, climbing the steep slopes of Madeira’s dramatic wooded inland, before giving way to nature reserves and botanical gardens. Closer to home, the hotel’s own garden creates a peaceful ambiance for your room’s balcony and the restaurant terrace, while the finest Portuguese materials are used in the hotel décor to great effect, from locally sourced oak to Madeiran marble, creating elegant, refined style.

West to centuries past…
West of the hotel, you can just glimpse the old 17th-century fortress atop its rocky hilltop, representing the well-preserved old town surrounding it. Funchal is rightly proud of its heritage, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the elegant Renaissance style of the Quinta das Vistas Palace Gardens ***** together with its carpets, furnishings, and magnificent dining room.

Tucked into the rolling hills of beautiful Madeira, with views of Funchal and the coast, the Quinta das Vistas Palace Gardens ***** offer a panorama of views, showcasing all this island has to offer.
