Just one mile above the centre of Funchal, this tranquil haven sits in beautiful gardens and is surrounded by towering trees. The ancestors of the Ornelas Monteiro family built the main house in 1880 and their descendants spent a century acquiring a significant collection of wonderful antiques, eventually opening it as a hotel.
It quickly established a reputation as one of the island’s very best, offering excellent service in a delightful setting. Two garden wings have been added to the original house and there are now 89 elegant bedrooms with garden, bay, ocean or mountain views. The gastronomic restaurant is decorated with antiques, tapestries and paintings and serves delicious local produce. There is a lovely heated outdoor swimming pool, a tennis court, a fitness centre, Jacuzzi and a large sun terrace overlooking the bay.
1 November – 16 December, 6 – 24 January, 1 – 24 July, 1 – 26 October: 7 nights for the price of 6, saving £110.
