gardens and grounds are like a palace you could spend a week

Our only disappointment was not having an outdoor heated pool. It would be much better if the pool was situated perhaps on the croquet lawn.

Everything was fantastic! The Staff from top to bottom were exceptional, helpful & engaging. The actual setting of the hotel was stunning, beautiful surroundings & peaceful though only 15 minutes from the town.

Wonderful stay with excellent facilities and service. Beautiful setting for the daily breakfast. Lovely ground and exclusive access to the gardens when they’re closed to the public. Would return in a heartbeat!

Great breakfast. Wonderful surroundings and staff. A very elegant hotel.

The staff were exceptional and they were all extremely friendly and helpful. The gardens surrounding the hotel are beautiful as is the golf course. This hotel deserves its excellent reputation

Fabulous “colonial “ country manor house around a 15 min taxi ride to Funchal. Set in the hills adjoining Palheiro gardens and with its own 18 hole golf course and spa facility. Lovely staff who do all they can to please and peaceful surroundings. Was our 2nd visit and definitely not our last. Would highly recommend.

Very good atmosphere, staff bent over backwards to help. The food was excellent as was the wine list

lovely rooms, nice bar and very friendly staff. Fantastic grounds and great for walking.

very attentive staff and most stylish private hotel. Great decor taste.
