This Quinta, an expression of civil baroque and neoclassic architecture style, was built over the XVI, XVII, XVIII, XIX and XX centuries, and has a privileged location in a huge park over the Port of Funchal, being therefore, one of the most emblematics Quintas of Madeira.

Amélia – Brasil empress and her daughter Maria Amélia. D. Maria Amélia has deceased there in 1853.
