In spite of having read that you could visit this place and the sign leading up from the main road, on approach I was a bit worried I was accidentally trespassing, because it took quite a while to get to a clear entrance and there were signs saying 'Private' in many places. Looking for someone to 'check in' with, I did finally arrive at the greenhouse, where a very friendly man was giving explanations about the garden and the orchids. The entrance was 4.50, which for me was fine. The place isn't very big, but they do have a great variety of orchids and some interesting plants outside as well. If you're in Funchal, like plants and have some time to spare, it's a pleasant visit.

Definitely worth visiting, amazing flowers and people with passion that will tell you everything you need to know about the orchids!! Great place for a family trip. The owners are really passionate and love what they are doing. When they are telling you all those amazing facts about the flowers they make it so interesting, that I could stand there the whole day! There is so many different orchid species that everyone will be really impressed by just looking at them. As far as I know you can buy some of the flowers there which is a very good option and opportunity for someone who wants to own this beautiful flower.

For €5 you see an honest Orchid collection. Clearly looked after plants for the sake of what they are and not for how tourist friendly or aesthetic the presentation could be. You see reviews on here complaining about no cafe etc. The money from the ticket is going to the care of these plants. Some of which are 90 years old! We had a lovely visit, spoke to numerous volunteers and felt their enthusiasm for this plant family, and we saw a range of species flowering (mid feb).This is the place to visit for a true orchid fanatic and/or someone who would like to donate €5 to the upkeep of some truly beautiful plants!

If you are in any way interested in plants and more specifically orchids, this place offers a plethora of wonders, it’s hard to imagine that something like this exists in the middle of du chap, with a beautiful garden with the most wonderful views over the city, an amazing orchid display and the possibility to take a look at some of the nursery parts too. And of course the blue jade vine, blue flowers! Patrick the owner took time to show us a few of his personal favorites and share some really interesting stories. All of this made our visit there one to remember. Thank you Patrick!

Loved it here, really recommend for orchid lovers or any other plant lovers. They have a large collection of orchids: Cattleyas, Dendrobiums, Vandaceous, Phals, Oncidiums and so on which you can admire, but some other plants too. Of course not all of them are in bloom, but for orchid collectors is still interesting. The entrance fee is 5€ per person. The owner, Patrick, is very friendly and we could‘ve discussed all day with him about orchids. I ended up buying one miniature Dendrobium for 15€, which is a good price compared to what other nurseries in Europe offer.

Absolutely stunning orchid collection, too many varieties to list. Lots of Bromeliads, huge Strongylodon macrobotrys (turquoise jade vine), Thunbergia mysorensis (Indian Clock Vine), Nepenthes, Epiphyllum oxypetalum & anguliger, to name but a few. Very knowledgeable staff. Plants, beautiful cards and orchid images for sale. Tea, coffee and freshly baked cakes available on the terrace, in a wonderful garden overlooking Funchal. Very highly recommended.
