Quinta do Palheiro Ferreiro
On the northeast of Funchal, at about 550 meters of altitude, is situated an old Madeira Quinta: the Quinta do Palheiro Ferreiro. Its construction started back in 1804 by order of Count Carvalhal and 81 years later its property had changed to the English Blandy family.
The primitive house is now turned into a hotel and its majestic garden is public open during the weekly mornings. In this vast garden one may appreciate hundreds of species originated from all continents with the most amazing attraction being the camellias brought from the Extreme Orient.
