This elegant, traditional Quinta, built in the 18th century, was once the family home of General Beresford, the Commander of the British forces on the island during the Napoleonic wars. Today, the Quinta has been carefully remodelled to offer a high standard of accommodation whilst retaining the beauty and character of the original property. Situated within 2.6 hectares of delightful botanical gardens, full of rare trees, exotic flowers and a charming ornamental lake, Quinta Jardins do Lago also plays host to a few local residents including birds, koi carp, and a giant Galapagos tortoise named ‘Colombo’.
