Villa Quinta Alegria

This historic Quinta, constructed in 1871, underwent restoration in 1999 after being in ruins. With its remarkable vistas of Funchal and the sea, the rooms are spacious, bright, and luxurious. The lush gardens surrounding the property are filled with palm trees, camellias, fragrant climbers, avocado trees, and vibrant bougainvillea. Similar to other traditional villas in Funchal, this house peacefully sits on the hillside along the Caminho do Monte, just below the renowned wicker toboggan run. From here, one can enjoy breathtaking views of the town and bay of Funchal, with the sea stretching beyond, while relaxing by the heated swimming pool. The expansive terraces in the well-maintained gardens and around the pool are perfect for sunbathers. Alternatively, if you prefer shade, there are various trees providing ample coverage. The gardens and terraces are furnished with sun beds, chairs, tables, parasols, and a Weber BBQ.

As you enter through the conservatory, you will find a sophisticated lounge and dining area, complete with an open log fire for cozy winter evenings. French windows open up to the gardens and heated pool, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The kitchen and breakfast room, with a laundry room located behind it, lead to a BBQ area and a shower/WC for your convenience after swimming or sunbathing. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms: one double en-suite, one double, and one twin, along with a second bathroom. The kitchen is fully equipped with a breakfast table for six, a gas hob, an electric oven, a fridge/freezer, a dishwasher, and a microwave oven. Additionally, there are coffee machines, a toaster, a cafeti√®re, as well as crockery, cutlery, glassware, and cooking/serving utensils available. There’s even an adjacent annex for the convenience of¬†the 7th and 8th guests.
