Absolutely lovely. Great building, wonderful gardens and wider grounds. A levada walk to Monte very near. I did there and back in 5 hours and I'm not that fast. Not much else in walking distance . Very relaxing, particularly during pandemic! And reasonably priced at the time I went. I got an upgrade to main house. The restaurant and spa are a little expensive for me but the tea room and club house are fine. I spent most of my time in the gardens. Of course it is a little cooler than in Funchal and damp outside in the morning
United KingdomBeautiful place really well kept especially in current circumstances very clean and COVID safe. Restaurant superb Luiz and his staff really great couldn’t do enough. Food excellent both dinner and breakfast. Nice walk to golf club, facilities there great as well. Thoroughly recommend this place.
United KingdomMy wife and me had an absolute fantastic stay at Casa Velha do Palheiro. The hotel is located on the hills above Funchal within extensive and lovely gardens. Pairing colonial flair with modern elements, the quiet area with its exclusive ambience clearly earns it place in the Relais & Chateaux selection. Special thanks go to Cindy, Sonja, and especially to Luis, for providing us a heartwarming welcome and an extraordinary service.
