Formerly a luxurious family home this lovely hotel is charming

This charming Quinta is situated on a hillside overlooking Funchal to the sea. Formerly a luxurious 18th century family home the Jardins do Lago has been tastefully renovated to a high standard and has quite an historical background. Surrounded by mature, beautiful botanical gardens that are home to “Colombo” the 51 year-old giant tortoise, this quinta is ideal for those looking for peace and comfort.

Within the 6.4 acres of garden is a lake and the lovely partially covered freshwater heated pool and children’s pool surrounded by mango trees, sun beds and umbrellas. The views at this five star estalagem are over Funchal toward the sea in the distance.

The Beresford restaurant provides al fresco dining on warm evenings

The elegant original house is traditionally furnished and houses a cosy bar. The Beresford restaurant (no children under 8 yrs) offers local and international cuisine for dinner whilst breakfast is served in a charming room with a delightful veranda. Gala meals on 24 and 31 Dec are included in our prices. High tea for children is served in the Pink Room. Lounge areas, a library with free internet access and billiard room are also found here.

" I loved this hotel, it is a beautiful smaller property in lovely gardens but with easy access to the centre of Funchal.  Arriving in the evening we were made to feel very welcome and we had a fantastic meal, plus I felt that providing good service is of a great importance to the hotel. Hence, I am going back for my own holiday..."
