History and tradition paired with luxury and indulgence, the Portuguese island hideaway of Madeira offers an escape like no other. A place of wonder and beauty that rises dramatically out of the Atlantic Ocean, it boasts awe-inspiring views, rugged scenery and pristine coastlines. The climate and people are full of a warmth that will infuse your very soul and make you feel immediately at home here. All of this is included in the truly special ambience that the 5-star Quintinha São João Hotel ***** undeniably exudes.
As you wind your way through the lush gardens, resplendent at every time of year, and approach the front door of this welcoming 5-star hotel, you’ll feel the magic of Madeira take over. Once part of a traditional Madeiran Quinta (or “country home”), the affectionately named Quintinha is brimming with the essence of island history, yet has been transformed into a perfectly luxurious modern retreat.
The homely, embracing atmosphere follows as you explore the grounds further and then enter the hotel. Staff are on hand to welcome you with endless smiles, making you feel like a long-lost friend who they couldn’t be more delighted to see. As you sweep past cosy nooks and sumptuous seating areas, you’ll be picturing the days ahead filled with moments of utter tranquillity. Then, upon entering your room, your face will light up at the airy, charming space that is to be your very own private haven.
From here, step out to admire the views of the garden, pool area and beyond out over the bay. The bustling soul of this calm island, the nearby city of Funchal offers you the chance to experience every aspect of island life with sounds, sights and sea views to delight at every turn. There is truly no better way to experience the full spirit of the island than with a stay at Quintinha São João Hotel *****, your Madeiran home away from home.
