Quinta da Palmeira was originally the property of sugar magnate Harry Hinton and it is now owned by his heir Henrique Jaime Welsh. As the estate is 200 metres above sea level, there is a fantastic view over Funchal. The landscaped garden, one of the most luxurious in the city, is approximately four acres in extent with large trees, an excellent collection of plants, ornamental ponds and azulejo tile decorated garden seats. The house is also most impressive and there is the Manueline window in the Esmeraldo family home where, it is said, Christopher Columbus once lived.
