Book Your Stay at Quinta Das Vinhas, Calheta (Madeira)

Quinta das Vinhas offers 25 rooms across a restored 17th-century manor house, small cottages, and independent houses spread through the vineyards. The manor house's first floor contains 6 bedrooms and the old kitchen now serves as a dining room, preserving the original water filter and bread oven. All cottages feature a kitchenette allowing guests to prepare their own meals, while the former chapel has been converted into a reading room.

On-site restaurant Bago serves dinner with views over the vineyards and Atlantic Ocean, focusing on fresh local ingredients and Portuguese cuisine. Buffet breakfast and dinner can be served in the manor house upon prior request, with options to eat on the terrace overlooking the ocean.
