Quinta Jardins do Lago

Once the residence of the commander of the British forces, General Beresford, Jardins do Lago is today a delightful Madeiran quinta where you can relax, discover nature, and dine on superb local cuisine. The elegant manor house is furnished with antiques and decor that nod to its heritage, and some of the rooms are located in the original building. There are 2.5 hectares of luscious gardens you can explore. Discover rare species, colourful flowers and tasteful water fountains as you stroll through this little slice of Madeiran paradise. You may even come across Colombo, the residence’s giant tortoise who hails from the Galapagos!

Aside from soaking up the charming atmosphere of Jardins do Lago, why not relax on the sun terrace with a good book, go for a dip in the heated swimming pool, or unwind in the sauna, Turkish bath and Jacuzzi? There’s a games room that will keep kids happy, as well as croquet and table tennis for fun in the outdoors, while irresistible meals at three restaurants and a handsome lounge bar for nightcaps round things off perfectly at Quinta Jardins do Lago.
