About the Hotel

In the lush green mountains of the island of Madeira, in Câmara de Lobos, Hotel Quinta da Serra Bio Hotel stands as a sanctuary of nature and tranquillity. Among monumental trees, its own organic production and untouched landscapes, this sustainable hotel in Madeira invites you to enjoy an authentic experience, where the island’s history meets contemporary comfort.

Founded in the 19th century by the British consul Henry Veitch, the estate became a place of agricultural innovation, contemplation and the introduction of botanical species from different parts of the world. The original manor house remains as a witness to that time, surrounded by gardens that have endured through generations.

The Quinta actively works on the restoration of local cork forests, employs only people from the region, and collaborates with local artisans, winegrowers, and chefs. 80% of the food served comes from its own farm or from surrounding organic farms.

The property demonstrates a strong commitment to Ecological Restoration, Cultural Integrity, and Operational Circularity through renewable energy use, local sourcing, waste reduction practices, and culturally rooted guest experiences developed with regional partners. Community Benefit initiatives are present through local employment and collaboration with nearby producers, though evidence of long-term community governance and measurable social impact remains limited.

Overall, the assessment supports a Sustainable level across most dimensions, with further progress needed in impact measurement, circular systems integration, and verified regenerative outcomes to reach the Regenerative stage.
