Quinta da Casa Branca

Quinta da Casa Branca is a five-star boutique hotel hidden inside a working estate minutes from central Funchal — a property the founding family describes as a "Collection of Nature's Works of Art". Camphor trees shade the entrance; beyond them spread botanical gardens, a banana plantation and lawns older than the hotel itself.

Rooms and suites sit in a low modern wing among the gardens and in the renovated manor-house buildings, with a heated outdoor pool, garden pavilions and quiet corners planted like private rooms outdoors.

The restaurant occupies the former manor house with a terrace under the trees; the estate's wines and its own produce anchor the menu. For travellers who want Funchal's restaurants ten minutes away — and none of its noise — no other address combines both so completely.
