A truly relaxing hotel on a hill top above Funchal

This beautifully refurbished manor house stands in substantial landscaped gardens on a hill top with breathtaking views over Funchal to the Atlantic. The very elegant main house has been converted and extended to provide an extremely comfortable environment for truly relaxing enjoyable holidays.

ACCOMMODATION

Guests may opt for a spacious double bedroom, with either garden view or panoramic mountain and ocean views, a junior suite with a separate sitting area through an archway or a really lovely full suite with a separate sitting room. One suite has two rooms and two bathrooms – ideal for families. The Presidential Suite is the ultimate in spacious comfort, located on the top floor, it has a large terrace with sun loungers and a dressing room.

Whatever you choose, your accommodation will be carpeted and will include cable TV, Wi-fi, a mini-bar with free soft drinks and beers on arrival for Prestige guests only (not replenished) and air-conditioning. Views are always of the gardens with the majority also looking to the mountains or the bay of Funchal.

DINING

The main panoramic restaurant is in the old manor house and retains the original architecture and ambience of Madeira’s past and offers gourmet cuisine prepared by a top executive chef. The verandah and terrace are inviting for alfresco dining on warm evenings. As an occasional alternative the restaurant offers an à la carte menu or why not try the tasting menu or the Fado dinner? The Pool Bar serves drinks, snacks and light lunches.

LEISURE FACILITIES & SPA

The Chandra Spa offers an extensive menu of treatments including new age massages and shower rituals, complimentary use of the Jacuzzi, sauna, Turkish bath, relaxation room, sensation shower, and fitness room. The heated indoor pool links to one of the two outdoor pools. Mini-golf (nine holes). Free Wi-fi throughout the hotel.

The centre of Funchal is a 20 minute walk downhill but there is a courtesy bus to town and to sister hotels every day (except bank holidays and Sundays). Exchange dining is an attractive way to sample the kitchens at Quinta do Estreito, do Monte and Perestrello with four other restaurants to choose from with a free shuttle service.

Recommended for its location and good service.

We include a private taxi transfer – approx. 25 minutes.
