Experts' Choice Award Palheiro Gardens
What the experts agree on
High above Funchal, Palheiro Gardens blend formal English-style plantings with wilder areas, famed for camellia-lined avenues blooming Dec-April. House isn't open, but grounds, hotel, and golf club make for a relaxed stroll.
“The formal gardens have flowering perennials. You can stroll the gardens and the grounds, where camellia trees bloom between December and April, but you can't tour the family's house.”
– Fodor's
