Quinta São Gonçalo (pronounced "keen-ta ss-eow gone-sa-loo") is located in a picture postcard perfect position in the Funcal city suburb of the same name.
The property has been converted into a comfortable quiet and discreet bed and breakfast establishment (it has four bedrooms only).
The Quinta enjoys a spectacular and awesome view overlooking the sea with the harbour and centre of Funchal at its feet. Indeed many postcards printed today show the same view as that enjoyed by the exclusive accommodation.
The Quinta as it stands today is the main portion of an old and vast estate that was the main homestead of the São Gonçalo suburb. It used to be the summer or country residence of an elite family from central Funchal who in turn were themselves descendants of the noble Portuguese settlers and early discoverers of Madeira. In British terms this home could be considered a "heritage" home. It forms part of the history of the island. The Quinta is set in a large garden estate. A banana grove is located to the rear o the property and the fourth bedroom looks into the banana grove.
The Quinta São Gonçalo provides a typical bed and breakfast service. Guests enjoy bedrooms each with their own ensuite bathroom. Breakfast is served in the grand common dining and living room area. On special prioer request breakfast may be served in the garden.
Breakfast is included in the daily rate. Cleaning and change of linens, towels and breakfast utensils are all included in the daily rates. There is enough parking for up to family size cars in the main property of the home. More parking is available on the exterior of the property on the main road. Bus services to Funchal are a mere 30 metres away. But you can walk into town so close it is to the centre of Funchal.
