Madeira 2 Best Wine Hotels

Hotel Quinta Do Furão has the kind of island setting that almost feels unfair: a clifftop in Santana, vines in the garden and the Atlantic doing its dramatic thing in the background. But what makes it more than just a pretty Madeira hotel is that the wine is not decorative here. The estate has organic vines on site, its own cellar, and tastings that plugs you straight into Madeira’s layered wine story... The hotel itself was renovated in 2020, so everything feels fresh and comfortable, but it still has plenty of local character. Add a restaurant with sea-and-mountain views and a wine festival during harvest season, and it becomes one of those places we would happily return to again and again. Read more
