Estufa Fria
PT
O Jardim Botânico José do Canto é um imóvel de interesse público (resolução do Governo dos açores nº144/95, de 10 de Agosto), inscrito no “Botanic Gardens Conservation Secretariat” da UNESCO e figura no Guia Mundial dos Jardins Botânicos.
A Estufa Fria insere-se no Jardim Botânico José do Canto, com uma área de 5.8 ha. O Jardim José do Canto é um espaço de grande interesse paisagístico e botânico, povoado por impressionantes árvores de porte monumental e algumas de morfologia espectacular, como a emblemática árvore-da-borracha-australiana que se encontra ao lado da Estufa e que faz a delícia dos nossos clientes, fotógrafos e videografos.
A Estufa Fria do Jardim Botânico José do Canto é uma sala neoclássica, com uma história singular, pois foi neste mesmo espaço que se desenvolveram as primeiras plantações experimentais de ananases na ilha de São Miguel, pela mão de José do Canto, proprietário do jardim, mantendo a designação de estufa até hoje.
O Jardim Botânico José do Canto, bem no centro da cidade de Ponta Delgada, possui ainda uma Igreja em honra a Sant’Ana onde os noivos poderão fazer a sua cerimónia religiosa.
A Estufa enquanto sala de eventos multiusos, dispõe de uma sala para 100 pessoas sentadas, uma zona de bar e lounge, em espaço semiaberto ao
jardim e uma cozinha totalmente equipada para confeccionar e servir os nossos eventos, sem recurso a catering externo.
No amplo jardim relvado em frente à Estufa os vossos convidados têm a possibilidade de desfrutar de uma festa ao ar livre, ou com recurso a tenda transparente, interagindo de uma forma ainda mais direta com a luxuriante natureza e enquadramento paisagístico do Jardim Botânico José do Canto.
Este é sem dúvida um posicionamento único na Ilha de São Miguel, de que muito nos orgulhamos.

José do Canto Botanical Garden is a property of public interest, registered in the “Botanic Gardens Conservation Secretariat” from UNESCO and is included in the world guide of Botanical Gardens.
The Greenhouse is located in José do Canto Botanical Garden, with an area of 5.8ha.
José do Canto garden is a space of great landscaping and botanical interest. Populated by impressive monumental trees and some of spectacular morphology, such as the emblematic Australian rubber tree that is next to The Greenhouse and it delights our customers, photographers and videographers.
The Greenhouse, José do Canto Botanical Garden is a neoclassical room, with a unique history, as it was in this same space that the first experimental pineapple plantations were developed on São Miguel island, at the hand of José do Canto, owner of the garden, maintaining the Greenhouse designation until this day.
José do Canto Botanical Garden, located in the center of Ponta Delgada, also has a church in honor of Sant’Ana, where the bride and groom can have their religious ceremony.
The Greenhouse is a multipurpose event room, with a capacity for 100 seated, a bar and lounge area, in a semi-open space to the garden and a fully equipped kitchen to prepare and serve our events, without the need for external catering.
In front of The Greenhouse there is large garden, where your guests have the possibility to enjoy an outdoor party, or using a transparent marquee tent, interacting even more directly with the most amazing nature of José do Canto Botanical Garden.
This is without a doubt a great venue located in a prominent part of São Miguel island, that we are proud off.
We chose Estufa for our destination wedding and were originally absolutely blown away by the venue. The garden itself feels like a rainforest in the middle of the Atlantic and the Estufa has the old-world charm that we were looking for in a wedding venue. Estufa is the perfect mix of nature and luxury that we were looking for and after seeing the black and white tiles and Andorinha wall, we were certain that we wanted to have our wedding at Estufa. After our first telephone call (and a social media deep dive) with Sílvia Vasconcelos, we knew that we were in great hands.
We worked hand-in-hand with Sílvia, the wedding planner at Estufa, for over a year. Not only is she incredibly talented, well-respected and professional, she also took the time to develop a personal relationship with us in order to really understand our wedding vision and adapt her plans to suit our expectations. She met with us spontaneously a year prior to our wedding and even organized a menu tasting so we could try all of the food and set the menu for the big day. During our visit she introduced us to hotel managers to ensure that our guests would be taken care of during their stay. Once we returned home, she connected us with a photographer, videographer, florist, DJ, ceremony officiant and hair and make-up team who were equally professional and eager to meet our expectations.
Sílvia went above and beyond for us, even organizing welcome drinks, a rehearsal dinner and whale-watching tour for our guests during the two days prior to the wedding. Every, single event went off without a hitch and created the bonding experience between our international guests that we were hoping for.
We were certainly not the easiest couple to work with, but Sílvia was patient with us and made sure to get our approval for each and every decision being made, while often offering improvements or personal experiences to help us along the way. She used the bride's vision board to make sure that the aesthetic we envisioned was achieved. She even made some very last minute changes to the wedding agenda when the groom requested a firework wall the day before the wedding. (Which were a memorable addition, by the way.) Our guests were more than impressed by our wedding and the pre-wedding activities. Everything from the venue itself, flowers, decorations, FOOD and music made for the "best wedding ever attended" for so many of our guests and definitely for us.
Sílvia and her team worked incredibly hard to make sure that our wedding was truly our dream wedding and they more than succeeded, even staying until 4 am while we danced into the wee hours of the morning. I am so pleased that we decided to take a risk by booking Estufa, from abroad, without ever having seen in it person, because the wedding Sílvia put on at Estufa exceeded our expectations.
Faltam as palavras para descrever o quanto o nosso dia foi mágico e emotivo, uma mistura de sentimentos sem igual, num ambiente paradisiaco e com as pessoas mais especiais.
Nada disso teria sido possível sem a ajuda imprescindível da D. Sílvia, a nossa wedding planner. Uma pessoa com garra, com profissionalismo, com muita emoção em tudo o que preparou para nós, para proporcionar o dia mais feliz das nossas vidas. Não tenho como agradecer por tudo o que fez por nós, estará para sempre nos nossos corações.
Desde a decoração do espaço, ao design e aos seus connects com fornecedores de flores, iluminação e som, estacionário, bolo, tudo foi feito com enorme dedicação e amor, e não faltou nada, a atenção a todos os pormenores foi incrível.
Por estas razões e muito mais, recomendo vivamente os seus serviços. Sem dúvida que quando tiver mais algum evento irei recorrer à D. Sílvia, porque já sei que vou contar com todo o empenho e dedicação que ela sempre trás.
