Unique characteristics of this Stylish Manor House
Set atop a quiet hill overlooking the city of Funchal, the bay and the mountains rests one of the most exclusive venues in Madeira boasting 2.5 hectares (6 acres) of delightful subtropical gardens with plants, tress, shrubs and flowers from all over the world. The old established gardens include kapok, hibiscus, flowering creepers and other exotic specimens that along with its narrow cobbled paths create a relaxing and charming atmosphere.
This Stylish Manor House was the first private manor house on the archipelago to be turned into a luxury resort. Built in the 19th century, it was completely remodeled and transformed into the lavish hotel it is today. Furthermore, it is still owned by the original family who works extremely hard to retain its private manor house ambiance, with antique furnishings, fine paintings and genuine hospitality.
The award winning venue is renowned for its impeccable service and careful attention to detail as well as its superb cuisine. The restaurant is highly recommended for its fresh seafood, delicious meat dishes and regional desserts. So, if you’ve got a sweet tooth, don’t forget to try the famous “bolo de mel” (honey cake) and the celestial “maracujá pudim” (passion fruit flan).
At the Stylish Manor House peace and tranquility reign, so as soon as you arrive, you will feel relaxed and ready to unwind and blend into the nature. If you are looking for a little adventure, the venue also charters their yacht so that you and your loved one can explore Madeira together from the sea.
This truly magnificent venue creates a beautiful backdrop for a stylish romantic wedding in this enchanting archipelago!
