Accessed by an old stone staircase, the front door opens into a living room with sofa, 2 armchairs, a coffee table locally crafted from chestnut beams used in the Quinta, a desk, side tables, a TV with over 600 cable channels, including German satellite channels , broadband access and table lamps. Beyond, the kitchen/diner has table/seating for 4, an electric hob, oven, dishwasher, microwave, fridge, toaster and kettle and plenty of crockery/serving/cooking/storage equipment. Sliding glass doors lead to the deck-floored balcony with wicker table & 2 chairs.
The bedroom (with king double bed) has a mahogany chest of drawers with mirror above and a full length mirror. The bathroom has bath with shower, basin, bidet, loo, heated towel rail and a fitted double hanging cupboard (with small safe).
Linen, bath & pool towels and weekly cleaning are provided. There is a shared separate laundry room with washing machine, dryer, iron and ironing board available for guests' use.

The 4 acre estate of Quinta Vista Alegre has been in the Zino family for 70 years, the owners being the third generation. The main house (currently occupied by the owners) was built around 1867. It is a working Quinta growing vines and bananas. Much of the garden was laid out by an English family, the Stanfords, between 1902 and 1912 and Charles Thomas-Stanford wrote "Leaves from a Madeira Garden" about his garden and the island.
Opposite the entrance to Quinta Vista Alegre (where the cottages
are) is the entrance to Quinta Magnolia, previously an British
Country Club which is now Government owned. Here you can enjoy
beautiful gardens, a fitness circuit, and two tennis courts, all
set in an area of about 40.000 square meters. Just down the street
you have the two most prestigious hotels on the island, Belmond
Reid's Palace, and the Savoy Palace.There are no other villas in
Madeira that offer this mix of tranquil character and traditon with
a central sought after location.
Nearby are other excellent hotels and a good variety of
restaurants, cafés, bars, and small supermarkets. You can enjoy sea
swimming at the public Lido about 1 km by foot, or you may just
want to walk along the coast in this area. Funchal town centre is
only a 20 minute leisurely stroll away (less than 2
kilometres).
Buses/taxis are close and frequent. A car is not essential but
advisable to explore this beautiful island.
