Independent Report

location
Probably the top small hotel in Madeira and a favourite among many golfers and nature lovers. This graceful Relais & Chateaux hotel is the only hotel on the island to be found "on" a golf course. It is located 7 km from the city centre and 15 km from the airport.
general
The hotel is ideal for people wanting to relax and get away from it all as well as the visiting golfer, as it is favourably placed adjacent to the par 71 championship Palheiro Golf Course. Guests staying here have access to a number of facilities and activities such as free entrance to the Palheiro Gardens, Sauna (no charge), steam room (no charge), aromatherapy and lymphatic drainage massage, a heated (23?) outdoor swimming-pool (16x8m), badminton, croquet, table tennis, billiards, card table, board games and an all weather tennis court (floodlit). The hotel also offers a free shuttle service into Funchal, for those wishing to explore the town. (DDS 07/08)
lobby
The lobby which is small in size is decorated in the same classical style as the rest of the building.
exterior
The manor house built in 1804 is traditional in style, the annex, a modern construction, where most rooms are located, maintains the style of the main building.
restaurant
At the hotel's dining room, guests may enjoy a wide variety of menus presented by their award winning French chef who mixes traditional Portuguese dishes with culinary expertise, to create an a la Carte menu which has already been recognized in Madeira as one of the finest on the island. The bistro restaurant is situated circa 500 metres from the hotel, in the Palheiro Golf Clubhouse. The ideal place for a light meal during the day or an early dinner, the panoramic terrace offers some of the most breathtaking views in Madeira, overlooking the bay of Funchal.
rooms
Most rooms are located in the Garden Wing, adjacent to the main building. These spacious rooms, which also feature a custom built golf bag rack are decorated in a classical style combining comfort and warmth. Whereas the wooden furniture is dark toned, the enthraling curtains and bedspreads are red. Most rooms have views of the adjoining gardens.
