CASA VELHA DO PALHEIRO, PALHEIRO ESTATE (5*)
Located in the hills above Funchal in the Palheiro Estate, Casa Velha do Palheiro was first built in 1804 as a hunting lodge for the first Count Carvalhal and is now a graceful 5 star Madeira country house hotel, with 37 luxurious rooms. The hotel is situated next to the famous Palheiro Gardens and there is also direct access to the stunning Palheiro Golf Course, with privileged tee offs from the halfway house, a short stroll from the gate.
Palheiro Estate enjoys a beautiful hillside location with stunning views of the ocean and the city of Funchal. Since it was acquired by the Blandy family in 1885, successive generations have managed the transition from traditional farming to leisure based activities. This strong tradition of hospitality and quality continues in all areas today, from golf and the hotel to the gardens and flower business; from real estate to property management and even the sports motor cruiser. The names of Blandy and Palheiro are synonymous with quality on Madeira Island and beyond.
