Quinta Perestrello Heritage House, Madeira Island, Portugal

Quinta Perestrello is a lovely little hotel in a truly privileged position. Tasteful and sympathetic modernization has certainly not diminished the unique charm and welcoming ambience that is usually associated with these historic old manor house hotels.

The manor house, surrounded by lovingly maintained gardens, was carefully restored and the high ceilings of the rooms as well as the furnishings still reflect Madeira’s traditional architecture and interior decorating style of the old days.

This charming hotel, Quinta Perestrello, is the ideal place for all those who appreciate individuality and coziness of a small hotel but who still want to be close to the centre of all happenings

In the Quinta Perestrello the details really make the difference! At the arrival the guests are surprised with a private check-in in their room as well as a welcome gift and throughout their stay the guests can expect this continuous special and attentive service.
