Staff, food,A most enjoayable and relaxing st location all excellent

Ian, United Kingdom

Lovely room, friendly staff, beautiful gardens. Loved walking down to the golf clubhouse in the evenings to enjoy food and drink and watch the sun go down. Lovely chocolate cake for me on my birthday.

David, United Kingdom

Quiet location in a beautiful garden 5 star food and accommodation.

William, United Kingdom

We loved the tranquility of this country house and surrounding estate. Large comfortable rooms, good food and all staff offered extremely professional, traditional hospitality. The surrounding gardens and golf course of the estate are superb so with the Spa, tennis courts, croquet, nature trails, garden strolls and golf there is no real need to leave the estate! A real retreat.

Janet, United Kingdom

Amazing Location! It´s set over the bay of Funchal (10min by car to the City Center) on a hill between a botanical garden and a golf parcour (both belong to the hotel). The architecture and landscape feel very british and historical (just what we were looking for) and the entire place feels generous, bright, inviting and upmarket. Most staff was extremely helpful and friendly - rooms, spa (great knowledgeable staff), pool, gym and everything else was in great condition - we didn´t miss a thing (the hotel even have their own boat)!

Sophie, Germany

This is in a great location, slightly out of town, peaceful and quiet with lovely surrounding gardens. We hired a car but you could also use the shuttle bus or local bus in and out of Funchal. The spa was excellent, really high quality treatments. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the room a decent size and plenty of space in the property to relax.

Rb, Portugal

Wonderful views from the park of the hotel over the town of Funchal. A peaceful paradise on the hilltop! Very helpful staff.

Delphina, France
