Galley Bay Resort & Spa

Quinta Jardins do Lago is located in one of the promontories surrounding Funchal amphitheatre and it stays at approximately 1. 5 km away from the historical city centre, a five-minute drive. This beautiful property dates from 1750 and its name reflects the manicured lush gardens with more than 700 different species, offering countless secluded spots. A perfect choice for those seeking for a truly relaxing and inspiring stay. With only 40 spacious rooms with all balconies facing south to its beautiful gardens, Quinta Jardins do Lago honours the duty of an exclusive personal service. The rooms are elegantly appointed with twin/double beds, an adjoining sitting area, as well as a marble bathroom with finest amenities. The refurbished interior of the colonial-style Manor House breathes its original standards and character. There you may find the classic dining room, the Beresford Restaurant, as well as the Jade Room, where breakfast is served. In the lower floor, you will find the library of the House, as well as the Games' Room. This 5-star distinctive botanical hotel is also proud of its exquisite swimming pool. Close to it, the fitness room, sauna, Turkish bath and jacuzzi should be found. During the day, drinks, snacks and meals are available at the two bars – Visconde (indoor) and Colombo (outdoor). This last Bistro homages Quinta Jardins do Lago's ambassador, the giant Galapagos' turtle Colombo, living in the gardens since 1969, which will be always ready to great all its dearest guests and welcome a banana treat.
