Vila Joaninha is a 3-bedroom house located within a 10 000 m² property in Santo António da Serra, Madeira Island. This pet-friendly unit is around 10 minutes’ driving from Madeira International Airport.

Campo de Golfe do Santo da Serra is opposite from the holiday home, and the seaside resorts of Santa Cruz and Machico are within 8 km away. Funchal city centre is 23 km from Vila Joaninha.

Having lived in Portugal for a few years, I really love old fashioned Portuguese houses and furniture. This is almost a time capsule; it's like being transported back in time and yet the house is pristine, despite this the WiFi is still very good. The bedrooms and beds were very nice, and the living room was super cosy. The kitchen is very well equipped, the fire is lovely and we were left with plenty of logs, and we were also left a cake! We received an excellent welcome and would happily stay here again.

We liked everything about Quinta Meneses. Berta welcomed us very warmly even if we arrived very late at night. It was magical to arrive in her beautiful house nested in a great garden. The house was extremely clean and cosy. We wish we had stayed more and hope to be back some day! Thank you Berta!

    Nice old world atmosphere - very relaxed vibe altogether. Woman on reception was lovely. Cooking facilities in the cottages pretty basic but functional. Lawns and gardens well kept. Very close to the village

    The hotel is situated in beautiful, peaceful and tranquil gardens with excellent views of the surrounding hills, next to a footpath that goes to a levada. Very friendly and helpful staff. A very good buffet style breakfast was provided. It's only 20 minutes walk away from the village and bus stops to Funchal / Machico.

    A really delightful Quinta up in the hills (and a bit cooler than the coast) but just 20 minutes from the airport. Fabulous pool, comfortable rooms and social spaces, friendly staff, excellent chef. The village and access to walking trails are just a short distance away.

    Silent and relaxed stay in nature at a small farm. Good location for walking in the Northeast of Madeira. Rural village far away from mass tourism. Very friendly host with tips for the surroundings.

    Nice and peaceful location not far from airport, only 15 minutes taxi drive. Pretty garden! Our host was friendly and helpful, and helped us with bus schedules. The room had heating unit, which is useful, especially when we had some cold and stormy days. Breakfast was good and plentiful enough. The village has a nice park with plants and animals, and people around are friendly and helpful.

    It was our first accommodation at Madeira and we were blown away by the friendliness of our hosts. We could check in earlier since we arrived in the morning. All essentials needed were there and I liked the gas oven in the kitched. Bed was gigantic and very comfortable. We were surprised that there was a daily roomservice, which we did not expect at all. The accommodation is situated in a peaceful and quiet garden, but you can still hear the things going on in the village in a distance, which we found nice.
