Quinta do Furão Madeira

Sat high upon a cliff top at Achada do Gramacho in Santana, on the northeast coast of the Island of Madeira, is the Hotel Quinta do Furão Madeira, a naturally, beautiful Hotel that stands in 5 hectares of tropical gardens, three of which are planted with organic vines, herbs and vegetables. Famous for its Casas Tipicas de Santana, traditional stone houses with steep, triangular-shaped thatched rooves, this is a wonderful wedding destination for anyone looking to have their wedding in Portugal. Awarded the distinction of 'Biosphere Reserve' by UNESCO in 2011, Santana is rich in preserved nature and boasts the Biosphere’s hiking trails which are over 120 km long. If you are a fan of natural beauty then it is worth a trip to the Aguage Waterfall, a relatively hidden gem that has easy access through the hiking trail where you will encounter the most spectacular scenery as you walk through the lush green forest. Depending on the time of year, you can get a cable car up to the dizzy heights of the Miradouro Rocha do Navio viewpoint where you will have panoramic views of the island and the Atlantic Ocean.

For a magical wedding with natural surroundings, the Hotel Quinta do Furão Madeira is truly a breathtaking venue. From a small wedding ceremony, where the bride can walk down the aisle between the grapevines, with breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and the surrounding lush green countryside, to saying “I do” in the Jardim do Lagar garden, a truly picturesque scene that centres around the large, old grape press. An arch and tables can be arranged, together with decorations according to your wedding style. Your wedding reception can also take place in the garden so you and your guests can eat al fresco, or other options can be a marque or partly roofed venues, bringing the nature inside. The restaurant offers an indoor and outdoor area, with big windows, a rustic ambience and two enormous fireplaces, offering authentic dishes using their own grown produce. Menus can be tailored to suit your taste and includes typical Madeiran gastronomy and international cuisine. The Hotel Quinta do Furão Madeira is the ideal place to have your honeymoon, with rooms and suites decorated in natural light colours, making them both light and airy, with views of the gardens, surrounding countryside or the Atlantic Ocean.
