Story

For many generations, the Madeiran manor house in the beautiful district of Santa Luzia was used as a farm. Sugar cane grew on the fertile soil, and later a banana plantation. A turret from the 18th century, the eponymous "Torrinha", has long since disappeared. But the spirit and memories of the traditional country house have remained. For example, a ceiling relief shows a cornucopia, the lucky symbol of abundance, abundance, generosity. – An inspiration also for the host, who has reinterpreted the spirit of the quinta and restored the property carefully and luxuriously.

Host

Matthias Hunziker fell in love with Madeira many years ago: with the colorful splendor of flowers, the evergreen subtropical nature. The flower island became his favorite destination. Until he fell in love with the Quinta Torrinha in 2019, which was for sale at the time. This is where the Swiss have found their role, their “new home”: as an enthusiastic host who can combine his passions.

He also lives out his creativity in the field of design and as a passionate gardener. The newly designed garden landscape and the elegant interior of the Quinta also bear his signature: “The Quinta Torrinha is more than boutique accommodation. It's a feeling, a lifestyle."
