Once an 18th century hunting lodge, the Casa Velha do Palheiro has been sensitively transformed into an exquisite country house hotel - one of the very best in Madeira.
An exclusive retreat, it is located high up, next to the famous Palheiro botanical gardens, to which guests have direct and free access. This graceful country retreat is a perfect choice for those who enjoy nature and an ideal base for hiking and long levada walks. It is especially appealing to golfers, who enjoy reductions at the adjacent 18-hole Palheiro championship course.
Superb cuisine is served in the elegant dining room, expertly prepared by the hotel’s award-winning French chef, blending traditional Portuguese dishes with culinary flair. Further attractions are a swimming pool, a bar and lovely lounges. Funchal is 7 km away and, whilst there is a courtesy bus twice a day, a hire-car would be useful.
