Estalagem Quinta da Casa Branca
Summary
A contemporary, glass-walled designer haven, Estalagem Quinta da Casa Branca was built to maximise the views over its spectacular, lush tropical gardens. It is home to one of Madeira’s best restaurants and provides a peaceful retreat in the heart of Funchal.
This is a retreat where you can rest and relax and find quiet corners in the gardens filled with camphor, banana trees and Norfolk pines. Large, contemporary-styled living rooms with modern art pieces are very tranquil, as is the accommodation with terraces overlooking the gardens.
Visit the Botanical Gardens in Funchal for a good introduction to both indigenous and exotic flora. Then take a boat trip to the beautiful island of Porto Santo, or to Monte, a pretty hill-top town nearby. Return to the hotel’s restaurant, Casa da Quinta for Portuguese, à la carte dining.
