The logo of our hotel represents a chestnut tree (Castanea sativa, “castanheiro” in Portuguese), a traditional tree in Madeira’s rural landscape, which has been grown here since the beginning of the settlement of the island (in the 15th century). At the north end of this street there used to be a gigantic chestnut tree. There is no reference as to why and when it was cut, but its existence is still remembered in the name of the street … and that of our hotel.
