Life at Quinta da Casa Branca
Picture your arrival: your driver meets you at Funchal Airport, the luggage is taken care of, and before long you are in Funchal, Madeira, where Quinta da Casa Branca waits. A family quinta of gardens and garden rooms, a quiet retreat in Funchal.
Historic family quinta and botanical gardens set the tone for the days ahead. Restaurants in the original manor house serve regional dishes. It is a stay we recommend especially for couples, garden lovers.
Beyond the hotel, Madeira unfolds at your own pace. Madeira rises steeply from the Atlantic, its cliffs draped in laurel forest, flowers and terraced gardens. Known as the island of eternal spring, it has welcomed travellers since the 19th century, when British families came for the mild climate and the wine.
