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.

With deep-blue connecting the sea and the horizon, green gardens as

background scenery, Quinta da Casa Branca's dashing layout is

bewildering. Its bold project was awarded the City of Funchal's

Architecture Prize in 1999, and its ever dedicated personnel are ceaselessly

highly commended by the clients. Here, the clients are friends who

return every year. It's their choice to just linger by the swimming pool

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.

An old gate with antique Portuguese tiles and with its name in evidencesets the stage for a truly extraordinary experience... This Quinta conjuresup an atmosphere of the "good old days", where gracious living wasthe operative word - when there was time for a relaxing stroll aroundthe gardens, a read of a good book under the trees, a sip of an excellentwine or a leisurely game of snooker.At the Quintinha de São João it is almost as if time has stood still andthe zest for life is all around. Enjoy relaxing moments by the pool, inthe tranquil sub-tropical garden or in one of the many exquisite sittingareas. Refinement abounds, in perfect harmony with the feeling of"home from home".In the Restaurant "A Morgadinha", the exotic aromas entice you to try,amongst other delights, delicacies from Goa. And to sit in the Bar,listening to the piano whilst looking over the bay of Funchal is theperfect end to a perfect day.

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.
