LikedWe eloped in Madeira and stayed here for our wedding and took photos in the gardens. The staff was wonderful and the service was outstanding. They were so kind and even helped with steaming my wedding dress the day of our ceremony. The grounds are beautiful and breakfast is delicious. We had such a lovely time here and will forever remember it.

DislikedNothing, everything was amazing

“A perfect place to end our stay in Madeira!”

LikedThis is a gorgeous, high end property. The staff was absolutely superb and treated us with the utmost respect and friendliness in spite of showing up in our hiking clothes. The history of the place is so interesting. We even saw Christina Blandy and her 2 dogs on the property. Wish we had stayed at least 2 nights.
