Quinta do Furão
On a working vineyard in the northeast of the island (if you're here in the autumn you can help out with the harvest), this comfortable renovated lodging is a great choice if you're looking for somewhere less touristed. Guest rooms overlook the sea, the gardens and vineyards, or both; all are stylish and inviting, with soothing colors. The charming restaurant offers traditional Madeiran dishes, many using organic products. A sauna, Jacuzzi, pools, and treatment rooms add to the sense of peace and pampering at this special place.
