“ Really enjoyed this hotel it was beautiful. It is definitely the place for golfers which we are not !! this however was an advantage as we had the pool to ourselves- very nice.The gardens are amazing and as the hotel guests have free access to them a morning walk around the gardens after breakfast became the norm (breakfast by the way was excellent and the staff friendly and very attentive). We had mentioned that we were celebrating our anniversary and asked if a room upgrade was possible-no problem and no extra charge (stayed in a deluxe room which was big and well kept), we were also treated to a glass of sparkling and a little cake on the day (a nice touch). The one comment I would make regarding the rooms is the soundproofing between them in not good and you did hear occassionally hear your neighbours. We had booked on a B/B basis and to be honest it would probably be worth your while booking half board if you want to stay close and eat in the hotel, it was quite pricey. Saying that we did eat there on our last night and the food was really lovely, beautifully presented. We tended to go down into Funchal in the evenings where you found a good selection of restaurants to choose from however the taxi back to the hotel ranged in price from 12-17 euros which would have mounted up on a daily basis. We usually got the hotel shuttle bus down (free) and public transport back. The buses were on time and the drivers were very helpful. The hotel is a little out of the way but where else would you expect to find a 200 year old hunting lodge? It was lovely and quiet, very relaxing definitely not for anyone looking for a lively time - it suited us perfectly. The hotel is in the middle of building a spa and although my first thought when I saw the crane was typical a building site! this was not the case in fact we completely forgot that the building was going on and it caused no disruption to our holiday whatsoever.
“ Top Tip: We went on the Levada walk to Monte which started off close to the hotel ,the reception provided us with a map. Took about 4 hours stopping on the way for tea! a really nice walk, we then took the cable car down from Monte to Funchal a nice round trip.

“ Perfect in every way - could not have wished for better!
“ Top Tip: There's no need to look any further than Casa Velha Do Palheiro. We had intended to eat out in the evenings but their restaurant and staff would have been very difficult to beat - not cheap though! Very handy for some fantastic levada walks which start from the hotel grounds
