Quinta Paços do Lago  

Perched between Ribeira Brava and Câmara de Lobos on Madeira’s south side, Quinta Paços do Lago sits in a rural pocket about 5 km from Câmara de Lobos and a short drive from Funchal. Cabo Girão and the Ethnographic Museum of Madeira are minutes away, and historic spots like Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Monte and Holy Trinity Church are within about 1.7–1.8 miles.

This family-friendly vacation home has just six individually decorated rooms with Tempur-Pedic beds, minibars and 40-inch Smart TVs. Rooms open to private furnished patios and come with premium bedding and complimentary toiletries. The property keeps a warm, lived-in vibe—think a lobby fireplace, a library, picnic and barbecue spots, and an attached winery for relaxed island evenings.

Soak in an outdoor pool and sip at the poolside bar or one of three beach bars. On-site perks include a bar/lounge, restaurant, snack bar/deli, complimentary Wi‑Fi, luggage storage, sun umbrellas, laundry/dry cleaning, free self-parking and a roundtrip airport shuttle for a surcharge. There’s also tour/ticket assistance and a conference hall for group stays.

Conference hall and meeting support make it easy to work away from the city. Express check-in and a 24‑hour front desk keep logistics smooth, and complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected.

Grab casual bites at the snack bar/deli, enjoy meals at the on-site restaurant, or chill with drinks at the poolside bar and lounge. Local cuisine breakfasts are served daily (8:30–10:00, for a fee), and excellent regional seafood restaurants like Taberna Madeira and Casal Da Penha are nearby.
