Recreated from an early 19th Century hunting lodge, Casa Velha, a 5* 'Relais & Chateaux' Country House Hotel, offers the highest levels of comfort and service. It is beautifully situated in the heart of the 200 acre Palheiro Estate, next to the famous Palheiro gardens and has access to the championship Palheiro Golf Course with privileged tee offs from the 'halfway house' adjacent to the 'garden gate'.

If you are keen on fine eating this is the place for you as great pride is taken in the cuisine, with Portuguese and international dishes offered by their gourmet chef. The Casa Velha do Palheiro restaurant is known as one of the best places to eat on the island and you can enjoy food from the a la carte menu, the Daily menu, the Light menu or the 7 course Gourmet menu served with three different accompanying Portuguese wines.

Funchal is just 15 minutes from Palheiro and the hotel offers a daily shuttle service to the town centre. The hotel's own motor yacht is available for cruises and deep-sea fishing if you are feeling adventurous or if you prefer a more gentle activity during your golf free moments, wander through the beautiful Palheiro Gardens accessed by a private entrance from the hotels own gardens. Guests staying at the hotel receive special golfing priveleges and the 7 day unlimited golf package and daily green fees are well worth asking about. If you book a superior room or a suite during June to September in 2008, you will even get your golf free!

We are sure that this delightful hotel will appeal to couples and small groups looking for a more exclusive and peaceful location with golf on the doorstep.
