Accolade Holidays

As a contrast to the many bridge holidays based in the big commercial hotels of Funchal, we have chosen the stunningly situated Hotel Jardim Atlantico in Prazares, on the sunny south-west coast ofMadeira, as our venue.

This outstanding hotel is ranked 1st out of 185 hotels in Madeira (source tripadvisor.co.uk – Sep 2009)

The secluded position of the hotel is ideal for relaxing and forgetting the stress of every day life. Itis a haven for walkers and those wishing to explore the Natural Park of Madeira and thepicturesque villages of that region of the island.

Bridge will be played either during the day or evenings to accommodate the excursion programmeand evening entertainments provided by the hotel.

Madeira is a beautiful island 310 miles from the African coast. The warm weather and moderate level of humidity supports a stunning range of flora and fauna.

The rich cultural heritage can be discovered by visiting museums, churches, palaces, manor houses of significant artistic and architectural value.
