The Quintinha de São João offers a perfect glimpse into Madeira’s rich past, as a luxurious five-star hotel created from a historical, typical Madeiran Quinta. Each of the 42 richly furnished rooms offers hints of the many years the building has witnessed, and you can be transported further still with an amble through the hotel’s lush landscaped gardens. Or, come back to the present day with a trip into the bustling centre of Funchal, with restaurants, bars and shops aplenty, all just one kilometre from the hotel.
