Property Description

This beautiful Quinta is situated on one of the hills surrounding the city of Funchal, close to its principal area of historical interest.
This charming Madeiran family home was built in the 18th century. Later on, it was the home of well known French and British families. During the Napoleonic wars, General Beresford, the Commander of the British forces on the island, chose it as his residence. His magnificent sideboard, a reminder of his stay, still adorns the Restaurant of our dining room.
The Estalagem Jardins do Lago, with 31 double rooms, 4 Junior Suites and 5 Suites, all facing south to the gardens and the sea, designed to offer the best in modern functionality and traditional comfort and style, opened a new chapter in the rich history of this Quinta.
The gardens are unique in their variety and natural beauty, with an area of 2.5 hectares full of wonderful examples of rare and old trees. They have also been the home for 45 years of "Colombo", the Quinta's giant tortoise.
The tranquil lake nestled in these mature botanical gardens, provided the origin of the Hotel's name. Amongst the mango trees, in a relaxing area, there is a large heated Swimming pool partially covered, with Bistro, Sauna, Turkish bath and Jacuzzi. For the more energetic, the all weather surface Tennis Court and a well-equipped Gym, are available.
