Traveler reviews
Eddie Rogers
★★★★★4 months agoBeautiful garden in Funchal. Very lush and green with tropical plants. It also has a fountain and cafe. Lots of benches to sit and relax. Walking distance from the centre of Funchal.
Akshay Bhat
★★★★★3 months agoVery peaceful and has lots of atttractions. But got scammed by taxi trivers who charged €35 for a 5 minute trip. Should have used the bus 37 but we were a family with elderly people
