Historic Property With Views Over Funchal And Potential For Boutique Hotel

On Rua da Torrinha, just a few minutes from the centre of Funchal, Quinta da Cova offers a rare combination: a manor house with more than two centuries of history, extensive gardens and an elevated position with views over the city, the bay and the Atlantic.

With origins attributed to 1814-1815 and a historical connection to the British Miles family, this property is an opportunity for those looking to recover a prestigious residence in Madeira or develop a hospitality project with its own identity.

Inserted in an urban plot of approximately 4,900 m², the farm has 931 m² of gross construction area. The main residence, presented as T6, is spread over four floors and fifteen rooms. Its generous spaces and traditional elements wooden floors, worked ceilings, marble fireplaces and a south-facing arcaded balcony provide a distinctive basis for careful rehabilitation.

Outside, terraced gardens, large trees, basalt stone walls and paths made up of Madeiran pebble pavement make up a reserved environment in the middle of the city. The entrance through a vaulted tunnel and the existence of a secondary building reinforce the singular character of the complex.

A property with two exception vocations

For a private buyer, Quinta da Cova offers the possibility of creating a large urban residence, with reception spaces, guest accommodation and recovered gardens. A duly authorised intervention may integrate contemporary amenities, such as a swimming pool, private spa or wellness areas, preserving the architecture that distinguishes the property.

For investors and hotel operators, the combination of heritage, land, views and proximity to the centre provides an appealing basis for a luxury boutique hotel. The development proposal released includes 34 accommodation units, associating the recovery of the historic house with new areas of hospitality and services. The implementation of this program will depend on the confirmation of the licensing status and the applicable authorisations.

The property needs full recovery, allowing the future owner to define a new use and a positioning of his own, with the story and the gardens as central elements of the experience.
