Culture & History
Experience a historical discovery, both at Quinta Jardins Do Lago and the enchanting city of Funchal nearby. Boasting a rich military history, the 18th century Madeiran Quinta was the residence of General Beresford, Commander of the British forces in the Napoleonic wars; his magnificent sideboard still adorns the hotel's dining room. In Funchal's old town, visit the Story Centre - a unique interactive museum offering a virtual journey of the archipelago's great historic events. Numerous churches and convents date back to the 15th century, from the tiny basalt cave of Capela de São Vicente to the ornate interiors of the Sé Cathedral.
Romance
A luxurious and intimate retreat, Quinta Jardins Do Lago simply oozes romance. Stroll hand-in-hand through the 2.5 hectares of splendid botanical gardens - past beautiful flowers and enchanting old trees - as the only noise you hear is the sweet song of birds. Explore the picturesque sun-dappled squares of Funchal together, before unwinding in the sensual Turkish Bath or the sleek swimming pool. End your day of romance with a delicious cocktail overlooking the mesmerising Madeiran sunset, before an alfresco dinner at a candlelit table for two.
