The
Quintas da Madeira, witness to centuries past, keep the story of who gave them
life and name. Aristocratic families found themselves in Madeira where the
dream of shaping a life. These infrastructures show us a way of life
rooted in the feudal system of past centuries and kept alive the memories of
the heyday of the route and Sugar Madeira Wine. Each farm has a story to
tell, the interiors of the houses are fragments of a life and beauty of the
gardens conceal a greater or lesser variety of endemic flora of the
region. So the "Quintas da Madeira" arise from the need to
preserve the estate of an interesting history of the island of Madeira and was
therefore distinguished as a hallmark of the island, its history and distinction. Meet
the Quintas da Madeira and discover beautiful places where you can spend your
holidays!
