…and the Championship Palheiro Golf Course. The island of Madeira is lapped by the waters of the gulf stream with warm comfortable summers and mild winters that make it an enchanting holiday destination all year round. Rugged mountains with spectacular panoramic views contrast strikingly with the lush green of the countryside's vineyards, banana plantations and brilliant flashes of subtropical flowers. Madeira is renowned for it's beautiful levada walks and breathtaking scenery. Aformer hunting lodge consisting of three houses, built around 1800, the five-star Hotel Casa Velha do Palheiro enjoys a quiet location on an island devoted to tourism. A few kilometres north of Funchal, nestled in the hills between the golf course of Palheiro (preferential access to guests) and the gardens of the same name offering superb views, the fine residence displays classicism, elegance and discretion amidst the surrounding legendary luxuriance of Madeira.
