Quinta da Penha de Franca

If you want to experience traditional Madeira, whilst having all your home comforts, the Quinta da Penha de Franca is ideal. It consists of two properties - an old Portuguese mansion located on the stunning cliffside, and a newer property by the sea. The two wings are connected via a footbridge and lift, giving you easy access to all the great facilities. The décor is a mixture of traditional features, old paintings and antique furniture and modern, bright and contemporary. There is an intimate lounge area, piano bar and restaurant serving delicious international cuisine. You have a mountain-side pool surrounded by lush gardens and a large seafront pool, with spacious sun terrace and swimming platform that takes you right into the sea.

Location-wise you are just seven minutes walk to Funchal old town and close to the more modern area, where you'll find art galleries, shops and historic buildings for interesting days out, plus cafes, bars and a handful of nightclubs for fun evenings. Back at the accommodation you have a choice of rooms in the two wings, with garden or sea views, and all comfortable and well equipped. You really get the best of both worlds at this property, with the mountains and the sea, whilst being close to beautiful Funchal.
