The Island of Madeira lies 621 miles South-West of Lisbon and 497 miles west of Casablanca and the coast of Africa. It is a one and a half hour flight from Lisbon and just over three hours from London. Its delightful temperate climate varies from around 25° C in summer to a very pleasant 16° C in winter.
The Palheiro Estate is located just 15 kms and 20 minutes by car from Madeira’s International Airport. A new network of motorways ensures a quick, easy journey and an ideal opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery as you approach the destination high above Funchal city.
The Palheiro Estate enjoys an unrivalled hillside location to the east of Funchal, capital of Madeira Island. Far enough and high enough away to give stunning views over the city and harbour, it is less than fifteen minutes by car to the city centre with a colourful mix of historic buildings and modern shopping.
