Quinta Jardins do Lago
in
Funchal
,
Madeira
With colonial charm and traditional good looks, this place offers up a peek into Madeira's past.
You know a hotel is special when a general used to live within its four walls. General Beresford, commander of the British forces in Madeira during the Napoleonic Wars, called this place home back in the 19th-century. Fast forward to today and the grand mansion has been cleverly converted into one of the island’s most exclusive hotels.
All whitewashed walls, red roofs and thick wooden shutters, it’s the picture of colonial elegance. Step inside, and things continue in the same vein. A large dining room comes complete with gold-framed pictures and a chandelier centrepiece. And there’s a cosy lounge lined with book cabinets and period furniture.
The rooms, meanwhile, have taken a more pared-down approach. White walls provide a blank canvas for wooden furniture and deep red and green soft furnishings. And marble bathrooms have a minimalist feel to them. In terms of mod-cons, expect to find air-conditioning, satellite TVs and Wi-Fi.
Step outside and the first thing you’ll notice is all the greenery. The gardens are filled with more than 500 species of plants and trees, dotted among manicured lawns. There’s a big swimming pool, too, and spacious terraces that look out to sea.
As for dining, there’s a fine restaurant featuring Madeiran specialities made from the best local ingredients.

Your guide to Funchal, Madeira
“A landscape covered in blooms and greenery, and a cobbled old town filled with boutiques and wine bars – that’s the scene in Funchal.”
Madeira’s capital city is sprawled across a pea-green hillside and framed by jagged limestone cliffs. And, just like the rest of the island, it’s covered in a blanket of bougainvillea and jacaranda trees.
Down by the waterfront, a palm-lined promenade runs the length of the city, backed by grassy lawns, fountains and restaurants. Local artists spread their work out on blankets along the floor, while musicians entertain al fresco diners, while they soak up the views of the marina.
Away from the seafront, yellow taxis line up along the leafy avenues, and holidaymakers sip wine in the sunny, cobbled squares of the old town. Funchal’s terracotta-topped buildings are some of the prettiest around, too – they’re accessorised with green window shutters and flower-wrapped balconies.
As for things to do, you’ve got everything from art galleries to high-end shops to keep you busy. And you can’t visit Funchal without seeing its covered market or experiencing its top attraction – a cable car that takes you up to the mountain village of Monte. From here, you can hurtle back down towards the city in a toboggan.
