Built in the early 19th century, the Casa Velha is now a luxurious country house hotel set in landscaped, subtropical gardens in the hills to the east of Funchal. Access to the famous Blandy’s garden surrounding their private residence is a rare treat for garden enthusiasts.
A member of Relais & Châteaux, there are 37 bedrooms situated within three separate buildings. The intimate restaurant serves traditional Portuguese dishes together with international cuisine and there is also a lighter menu served in the bar. There are tennis and badminton courts, a heated outdoor swimming pool and a spa with an indoor pool. The hotel’s golf course was included in Golf World magazine’s 2014 ‘Top 100’ list. The Casa Velha is perfect for a peaceful break and yet is just 15 minutes’ drive from Funchal to where the hotel operates a shuttle service during the day.
