Nearby The nearest facilities (a restaurant and café) are a mere 700 metres away, and the village centre (three café/restaurants and the medical centre) is an easy 1Km walk away. 1 Km, by the large roundabout that provides access to the expressway and the motorway system, is a supermarket, café/bakery with cashpoint machine, a further café at the petrol station and a further couple of restaurants.
The nearest chemist is in the sleepy village of Estreito da Calheta, only 5 minute’s drive away (4 Km).
A few minutes by car will take you to the resort town of Calheta, 6 Km from the Quinta Inácia. With its man-made golden beaches, it is popular with tourists and locals alike. There is a beautiful marina and a selection of bars and restaurants, a good branded supermarket, a bank and chemist. Calheta is famous for producing the best white rum ‘Aguardente’, a special ingredient of the typical Madeiran drink ‘Poncha’. If you are interested in knowing how the white rum is made, we recommend a tour of the ‘Engenho da Calheta’ the rum distillery where you can wander around and sample the produce. Centro das Artes Casa da Mudas is a new centre located at the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea and was built to host superb art exhibitions, musical performances and other events.
15 minutes by car east is Ribeira Brava, the largest town before Funchal, that offers a rocky beach and sea access facilities in addition to a large supermarket and more shops, cafés, and restaurants. Funchal town is an easy 45-minute drive on the expressway, and the airport a further 15 minutes onwards.
Madeira Some seven hundred kilometres west of the African coast, Madeira is a stunning mountainous emerald island, lapped by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream. The first island to be discovered by the Portuguese navigators in 1419, Madeira became an important resting place on the long trip to the new world. From these humble beginnings, the holiday trade was formed and this spectacular island, which used to be the favourite place of the rich and famous, is now the preferred choice of all sorts of visitors, from those seeking year-round warm temperatures to nature lovers and sightseers, sports and active enthusiasts of all ages. Culture, history, stunning nature, a myriad of sea and land activities, added to a great foodie scene means Madeira has something for everyone. No matter where you go on the island you are rewarded by fabulous scenery, tiny villages and friendly people. With a population of over 100,000, Funchal is not only the capital, but also the 'heart' of Madeira and home to many of the islanders. This makes it a busy, chic, cosmopolitan and fun city, full of shops, shopping centres, bars, cafés and a great variety of restaurants and entertainment; a vibrant, cosmopolitan town where historic splendour and breath-taking natural beauty combine with a thoroughly modern atmosphere.

I have stayed at Quinta Inácia twice now. It is the most relaxing, peaceful place. The views are out of this world, with the sun setting over the sea directly in front of the pool. Daniel and Silverio are fantastic hosts and clearly really care about their guests’ enjoyment. Everything was perfect both times I have stayed, and I will definitely be back again.
Tudo incrível. Desde a acomodação, o espaço físico, os proprietários e o ambiente que proporcionam através do diálogo e disponibilidade. Quem procura tranquilidade e um espaço requintado e lindo, vá à Quinta Inácia. Irei repetir, concerteza.
