Palheiro Gardens
São Gonçalo, Funchal, Portugal
Palheiro Gardens offers a different garden mood from Monte, with the landscape of an established estate in the hills east of Funchal. Make the visit a deliberate part of the day, allowing time for paths, planting and changing views rather than treating it as a brief detour. It suits travellers interested in horticulture and the island's history of cultivated estates. Confirm the current visitor arrangements and choose transport that leaves enough time to explore comfortably.
