Quinta Da Cova Do Milho - Mountain Retreat at 700m Altitude
Location & Surroundings
The hotel sits at 700 meters above sea level on the island of Madeira, offering a high-altitude setting with distinct weather patterns and cool, clean air. Santo da Serra Golf Course is a 5-minute drive away, and the Horse Riding Centre is within the same distance. Natural parks and hiking trails, including a levada footpath, are accessible directly from the property.
Rooms & Accommodations
All 11 rooms include a private balcony with views of the mountains and the landscaped gardens with centenary trees and exotic flowers. Accommodations range from standard double rooms to a two-story stone chalet with a small kitchen, cookware, and glassware. The chalet includes a mix of antique furnishings and modern fixtures, plus a jacuzzi shower (currently not functional) and a separate upstairs oil heater.
Dining & Breakfast
Breakfast is served buffet-style daily, with fruits, cereals, bread, eggs, ham, yogurt, and scrambled eggs. Dinner offerings are homemade meals using local produce, with guests rating the cuisine as better than restaurants elsewhere on the island. The on-site restaurant also provides a kid-friendly buffet and special diet menus upon request.
Family-Friendly Amenities
The hotel offers child-friendly accommodations, board games, puzzles, a games room, and an indoor play area. Kids' meals are available from the restaurant, and the outdoor garden provides space for children to play. The property includes a sun terrace and outdoor furniture for family gatherings.
Services & Unique Features
A cozy reception area with a log burner fireplace serves as a lounge for guests on cool evenings. Free private parking is available on-site, but guests are advised to use the main roads rather than the steep, narrow routes suggested by Google Maps.
