We recently stayed at Casa Vehla for a friends wedding. The staff were lovely and the atmosphere is so tranquil - you feel as if you are in a former ‘hunting lodge’ in the hills surrounded by beautiful flora and fauna. Views from the Clubhouse over Funchal are spectacular. It makes a perfect retreat for golf enthusiasts or simply those who are there to discover the island - magical! Palheiro gardens are a ‘must see’ with so many exotic trees, flowers and plants. Thank you to all - we will be back!
As my lomng term partner had recently died I was aprehensive of continuing with this trip.. Any worries fears or problems I may hvae expected were soon dispelled by the incredible reception I received from everyon and I mean EVERYONE. All had great sympathy and empathy and made me feel at home and relaxed. I enjoyed every moment. I have already rebooked my return same period next year and look forward to the return without any worries. God willing.
Amazing location and facilities everything was perfect and staff very kind and professional - we definitely recommend this hotel
Ideal boutique luxury property. Wonderful service and setting. Could't have asked for more. Will definitely return.
Outstanding hotel. Worthy of its 5* status. Beautiful, stylish hotel with stunning gardens plus access to the Palheiro gardens. Staff are exceptional and nothing is too much trouble. Rooms are tastefully decorated and of a very high standard. Lovely touch in the room was the Madeira wine and local cake. Breakfast is excellent with plenty of choice. Dinner is out of this world. The creativity and quality is sublime using local produce. Michelin star quality. Lovely pool area with sun loungers. Spa was great and offered many different treatments. Worth a visit. Highly recommend Casa Velha for a peaceful, tranquil holiday to reset yourself. I am looking forward to a third visit soon.
