The Quinta da Boa Vista is a historic quinta ('estate') and orchid garden in the Santa Maria Maior parish of Funchal on the island of Madeira, overlooking the central and western parts of Funchal.

It contains one of the last remaining walled stair terrace gardens of Funchal and continues to draw its water from the levada irrigation system.

After having been converted to a market garden and then a flower farm, the quinta was eventually acquired by the Garton family in the 1860s, and in the 1960s,[2] after his retirement from the Royal Air Force Group Captain Cecil Garton OBE converted it into a site for growing and breeding orchids together with his wife Elizabeth Hera 'Betty' Garton,[3] daughter of a pioneer of orchid breeding, Sir William Cooke.

Today her son Patrick, who graduated from Oxford University with a degree in botany, continues to run the quinta[1] and the Quinta da Boa Vista Orchid Garden has become a popular tourist attraction and one of Madeira's most important orchid collections.

[5][6] The Quinta da Boa Vista survived the 2016 Portugal wildfires unscathed; other orchid gardens, such as the Jardim Orquídea were almost completely destroyed.
