This was a wonderful haven after my flight was cancelled due to high winds. The bedroom and bathroom were so spacious and service so attentive. Happy memories of eating a delicious breakfast on the lawn in the sunshine then going to the gym, sauna, indoor and outdoor pool!

The hotel in itself was excellent. Reception could not have been more helpful. The room was large and comfortable, I would have liked a view but in the block we were in that wasn’t possible. Kettle tea coffee etc was not normally provided but when requested was provided. Any issues such as the safe being temperamental were dealt with really quickly. Breakfast superb, eggs cooked to order. Dinner in the main restaurant was overall good, we had one problem with a meal that was dealt with by the fabulous maitre d to our satisfaction. Pool and spa lovely.

We had a lovely stay at Casa Velha do Palheiro. It is a beautiful property, the gardens being the highlight. Gorgeous, well-kept and quiet. A privilege to spend time there. Staff is very polite and competent. Rooms a tad tired, but we were told they are being renovated. That said they are still very clean and comfortable. All in all, we had a great deal and a memorable stay.

Stayed 1 night in Jan 2022

6/10

The hotel is beautiful on first sight and is a really cute setting. However, the rooms are very dated with few modern amenities. It would be very good for those looking for a bit of nostalgia but not as a getaway with modern conveniences . Long way out of Funchal at a cost of €20 to get to the centre which makes it 40 both ways. What is more, the food is very expensive as I think they know they have a captive audience, and the choice of dishes is quite limited. My partner is a vegetarian, and there is almost no choice on the menu. The gardens are stunning and beautiful to walk around. As I am a golfer, I’d say one needs to be cautious if going here for golf. Whilst the course has an amazing view, the condition itself is that of an average municipal course in the UK. With the price of €110 per round it’s way overpriced and awful value for money.

Lovely Estate, great hikes, spectacular landscapes and garden. Very quiet and relaxing, helpful staff that arrange activities around the island. Great breakfast, not so great lunch options. Spacious Rooms, nice touch with VIP perk: local cake and Madeira wine. Bathroom bit dated: shower leaked water all over it. Would stay again? Probably

This hotel was excellent the staff were very friendly and helpful especially Sonia on the reception desk. She helped us so many times including sorting our Covid-19 test. The only thing we didn’t like was the evening meals because it was not what we liked to eat! That was okay we used to visit different ones in Funchal. The rooms were clean and bright would visit again

Bella struttura immersa nel verde e vicino al campo da golf. Possibile fare lunghe passeggiate anche se non segnalate. Infatti rischi di finire nel bel mezzo del campo da golf ed è pericoloso. Ci hanno fatto upgrade in stanza piu nuova e piu grande con vasca e doccia anche se senza bidet. Doccia perdeva acqua e allagava tutto il bagno. Per covid sauna e chiusa ma si puo usare poscina outdoor e idromassaggio ma ambiente non e riscaldato perche le finestre devono stare aperte per normativa covid. Consigliamo di tenere chiusa tutta la Spa Buona la colazione con prodotti freschi e preparata al momento Personale gentile. Stanza pulita e spaziosa. Letto comodo
