Quinta Jardins do Lago: 5-star hotel in Funchal with botanical gardens and a Galapagos tortoise
Amenities & Grounds
Quinta Jardins do Lago sits on 3 hectares of botanical gardens containing more than 600 different plant species, including centuries-old trees and tropical plants. The gardens hold official Botanical Garden status due to the owners' dedication, and they are home to Colombo, a 67-year-old Galapagos tortoise that roams the grounds. A large heated lagoon-style swimming pool is surrounded by sun terraces with loungers, and a poolside bar and bistro serves drinks and light meals under mango trees.

All 31 double rooms and 9 suites offer balconies or terraces overlooking the gardens or the sea. Rooms are spacious with a seating area, marble bathroom, and a king-size bed; superior rooms include additional amenities like a furnished terrace. Each room has air conditioning, cable TV, and free WiFi, plus a daily fruit basket and bottled water.
Dining
Beresford Restaurant, named after the British general who lived in the mansion, serves Madeiran and international cuisine for dinner in a historic indoor setting.
