Photos and Description of the Santana vacation cottage rental
5 bedroom villa sleeps 10 with swimming Pool and beautiful gardens

This is a traditional Madeirian house, part of the biggest Rose Garden in Portugal.

Situated in the Arco Sao Jorge, a quiet and sunny part of the North of Madeira. This beautiful home has been in the family for centuries, with amazing views of the mountains and close to the sea, not far from the well known village of Santana.

Arco de São Jorge is a unique village by the seaside, surrounded by mountains and vineyards, located in the northeast of the island with a population of 520 inhabitants. Besides São Jorge village, the land of Arco de São Jorge is also very fertile and able to host many types of agricultural product due to its microclimate.

Its first settlers were known to be from the Algarve and Minho, Portugal. Originally this small village was once part of São Jorge then on December 28, 1676 Arco de São Jorge became a civil parish, deriving its name from the surrounding arc shaped mountains.

Luxury accommodation in tranquil setting

Enjoyed a fantastic week at this luxury Quinta. Really felt like the lord & lady of the manor - such a grand house with lots of character and full of antiques (it even had its own wine cellar!). Set in beautiful gardens with a lovely pool. Very tranquil. Plenty of space within this delightful house although only 2 of the 5 bedrooms had wardrobes! Lots of suprise extras like the electrical piano; guitar and inflatable for the pool - all of which kept my kids happy. Breakfast items provided on daily basis which was good. Couple of small shops in village for basic provisions. Very reasonably priced restaurant with great coastal view in village. For a restaurant with a difference try the thatched restaurant in Sao Jorge, behind the church (and be sure to try their speciality - the shrimp soup in a loaf of bread!). Couple of drawbacks. The electrical equipment was antique too - especially the washing machine which was not fit for purpose. Freezer had cracked drawers and was badly in need of defrosting. The private pool was not private - other guests helped themselves. There was a lack of privacy and security. Other guests could stroll through the grounds of the house at will - very disconcerting especially as the other guests were not friendly. I didn't feel comfortable allowing my youngest child to be outside on her own which was a shame. Aside from all that, I would recommend this Quinta to others as it was amazing staying there & we just loved it.
