The Quinta da Casa Branca is a charming boutique hotel 20-minutes' walk from the centre of Funchal and a member of 'Small Luxury Hotels of the World". This is a property which, whilst dating from the mid-18th century, has always had an eye on the future and has continuously worked to maintain and elevate its guest offerings.
The history of this delightful estate can be traced to the Leacock family, a British family who became one of the largest producers of Madeira wine and remains one of the most renowned brands on the island. Although the wine business is no longer in the family, the hotel remains a family-run enterprise.
One of the things we love most about the Quinta da Casa Branca is its gardens, and the sense of tranquillity and calm you feel the moment you enter the property's gates. There are three hectares of botanical gardens, banana trees and lawns - the colours and aromatic smells, at any time of year, are spectacular.
Within the gardens is a contemporary accommodation wing - sympathetically designed to ensure that the natural beauty infuses every room; an outdoor swimming pool, a luxurious Manor House (with guest accommodation), the original villa, a well-regarded restaurant and health centre.
Just 20-minutes' walk from the centre of Funchal (longer on return as uphill), this is the perfect location in which to relax and unwind and yet is within striking distance of the many shops, restaurants and attractions of Funchal.
