Located in the parish of São Gonçalo, the Lombo da Quinta Viewpoint is a privileged place for those looking for a full view over the natural amphitheatre that embraces the city of Funchal.
You can access this observatory through Estrada Regional 102, Boa Nova. Since it is located at an altitude of 456 metres, it offers a rich view over part of the southern coast of Madeira.
The unique elegance of the Funchal bay stands out in the far-reaching landscape of the Lombo da Quinta Viewpoint, allowing you to admire the boats that, gliding on the calm sea, approach or sail away from the port of Funchal. In addition, it is worth contemplating the mosaic of colours formed by the city, which stretches up the mountainside.
The Lombo da Quinta Viewpoint is close to Palheiro Golf, a world-class, 6000-metre course designed by the renowned architect Cabell B. Robinson in 1993. Nearby you can also find the majestic Palheiro Gardens, home to trees over 200 years old and several rare exotic plants from all over the world.
