BODY.
. body4
welcomeA smile awaits us. We are home. Unpack; relish the little niceties of life such as freshly cut flowers all
over the house, chairs on the terrace, and the water of the swimming pool heated to perfection.
A dip in that pool, a game of tennis, a round of golf, whatever takes our fancy, but always surrounded
by nature at its most magnificent. Now for a well deserved Jacuzzi, Turkish bath, or Sauna perfectly
complementing a vigorous session in the gym.
body . 5
What more could one want? This is how we
feel as we stroll through the garden filled
with centenarian trees and exotic flowers.
But it does not end here.... The warmth and
welcoming atmosphere of the house
beckons, anxious to cater to our every whim.
. body6
flavourFirst read the chef's suggestions. Couldn't be simpler! Before long, the exotic and sophisticated dishes start to appear.
Time is of no consequence when it comes to the finer things in life. Caviar, truffles, wild mushrooms, prawns.
Perfection. Outside, tones of saffron, avocado and passion fruit in the form of flowers beckon. Go for a wander.
The air suggests turning back. Possibly for a cup of tea accompanied by a slice of homemade cake, a pastry that
melts in the mouth or a hot scone oozing with butter. Tea is not just served at 5, but at any hour where there is a
demand for a moment to be savoured.
MIND.
. mind8
rootsTime passes soundlessly for them. Witnesses to centuries past, the Quintas da Madeira guard the secrets
and history of those who gave them life and name. Aristocratic families found themselves in Madeira,
the place where dreams become reality. Ocean and breathtaking landscape as far as the eye can see.
Centenarian trees and a house with the elegance of a palace, was all that was required for them to have
the feeling of being at home.
mind . 9
The Quintas da Madeira reveal the lifestyle of another age.
Centuries past remain in their memories. Each Quinta has its
own story to tell. The trees of the gardens are mere fragments
of a life. To these, chapters past and present are added.
To appreciate all that the Quintas da Madeira have to offer, one
needs time. Time to walk through the centenarian garden. Time
to savour the fine Madeira wine. Fragments of a lifetime are to
be found embedded within the houses and gardens.
earthWhilst sitting underneath a tree, the desire to compose an ode to its beauty is born. The splendour of the landscape
is the natural result of so little being written about the history of the Quintas da Madeira. The profusion of scents
that fill the air around them inspires a different type of registration, more poetic.
Amongst the greenery, fragments of sea show us from whence the plants and flowers came, thus making Madeira
what it is today. In some of the Quintas, collections of plants from all over the world may be found.
In spite of being irresistible, their scent does not transport us to those far distant lands. Paradise is here.

Casa Velha do PalheiroCasa Velha do Palheiro started off both as a hunting lodge and summerresidence in 1804, its first owner being João Esmeraldo, the first Count ofCarvalhal. Originally, the Count imported a wide variety of trees from allover the world and it's taken for true that many species of rare trees weregiven to him as gifts from ships' captains and from King D. João the 6thhimself. At a later period, in 1885, the estate was bought by John BurdenBlandy and it has since remained in the family. Restoration works in CasaVelha began in 1995 and it was established as a country house hotel in1997. Hospitality and personalized service to the need of each guest definethe heart of Casa Velha do Palheiro.

da Rochinha
quinta ****
Estalagem Ponta do Sol - Quinta da Rochinha is located on a rugged
rock, high above Vila da Ponta do Sol and it's differentiated by the daring
way it imposes itself in the scenery, in such unaffected style that the
surrounding natural beauty is emphasized. This caught the attention
of the utterly demanding group "Design Hotels", and so Quinta da
Rochinha became their accredited member. Perfect design creates
surprising spots of shade and light at the restaurant, at the lounge bar
and in the bedrooms with a sea view. Binoculars are worth bringing to
fully appreciate the sweeping flight of sea birds at the end of the day.
In just a few minutes distance away from the Quinta, some action can
be found in golf, tennis, surf and diving.

Upon arrival the view couldn't be more inspiring. Vineyards orderly take
over the grounds and make known the typical different stocks producers
of Madeira wine. At Quinta do Furão grape-gathering is still done as in
the old days, and September guests are welcome to participate in the
traditional gathering and pressing of grapes. Paths outlined in the
gardens lead us to the main house, a magnificent building lodging a
restaurant, a pub, a wine-cellar and an handicrafts shop where
embroidery made in Madeira can be bought. There is enough
amusement available at Quinta do Furão but it's within the silence of
the hotel that best pleasures are relished, like having a good cup of tea
and scones, playing billiards or admiring the scenery stretching out of
sight beyond the vineyards.

do Vale
quinta *****
The Estalagem do Vale is located on the north side of the island, at Sítio das
Feiteiras, Municipality of S. Vicente. This hotel with a rural setting is the result
of the restoration and enlargement of an 18th-century manor house of
cultural importance to the municipality, the lines of the original house being
fully respected. Located in one of the most beautiful areas of Madeira Island,
its belvederes offer guests the opportunity of seeing all the splendour of
the S. Vicente Valley and the deep blue of the north sea, with all its magic
and connection with the surrounding gigantic mountains. The broad horizons
and magnificent exposure to the sun and surrounding nature bestow the
site with unique characteristics and maximum tranquillity. The forest in the
valley is included in the Laurissilva area, today a world heritage site because
of the rarity of its rich flora from the Tertiary Period. Here, you can experience
nature’s gift through its sounds, aromas and flavours.

quinta ****
Revivalism of the twenties (20's) labels the architectonics of Quinta
Serra Golfe, a building with sophisticated interiors, once a teahouse
and main office to Clube de Golf Santo da Serra. Quinta Serra Golfe has
long been the scenery for important events, both social and cultural,
being highly regarded for its historic, architectonic and cultural
importance. It immediately achieves cult status once it's discovered
amidst the encircling "Laurissilva" forest, also qualified by Unesco.
Strolling along the footpaths and nearby watercourses, going to the
beach or a round of golf are the activities.
The best golf packages can also be arranged. Time worries about the
trifling pleasures that make us want to return.
