Loved most

  • Beautiful, well-kept gardens and labeled exotic trees
  • Two attractive pool areas and a whirlpool
  • Friendly, helpful and excellent staff/service
  • Clean, comfortable rooms with garden terraces/pleasant views
  • Delicious, varied restaurant food
  • Parking on site

Worth knowing — Some rooms and main building appear dated and could use renovation · Traffic noise and nearby roadworks were noticeable for some guests · Breakfast area can feel cramped and hectic at peak times · Inconsistent sustainability practices (towel replacement, lack of visible recycling) · Intermittent service aspects at pool (bells for refreshments unreliable) · Access involves walking up/down hills and the entrance is on the 'wrong' side for the city centre

    “Die Lage etwas außerhalb des Zentrums von Funchal ist wunderbar. Die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten sind trotzdem problemlos zu Fuß erreichbar. Besonders schön ist die weitläufige, sehr gepflegte Gartenanlage, in die sich das Hotel perfekt einfügt. Die beiden Outdoor-Pools sind völlig ausreichend und es waren jederzeit genügend Liegen vorhanden. Durch die überschaubare Anzahl an Zimmern wirkt das Hotel angenehm ruhig und zu keiner Zeit überlaufen. Die gesamte Anlage ist großzügig gestaltet und vermittelt eine sehr exklusive Atmosphäre. Auch die Zimmer sind sehr schön und hochwertig gestaltet. Das Frühstück war für uns absolut perfekt. Neben dem Angebot am Buffet konnten verschiedene Speisen frisch à la carte bestellt und direkt zubereitet werden. Qualität und Auswahl waren hervorragend.”

  • Very beautiful property, pleasant staff, and overall a great stay. We would come back but we just hope, for the price, t

    “- Sehr schöne, grosszügige Anlage mit scjöner Bepflanzung sowie vielen Blumen. - Zwei attraktive Poolbereiche sowie ein Whirpool mit ausreichend Liegen und zahlreichen Möglichkeiten zum Entspannen. - Das spezielle Design und die Architektur des Hotels verleihen ihm einen einzigartigen Charakter, sind jedoch Geschmackssache.”

  • Nice - much better than huge high rise concrete hotels visible everywhere!

    “The gardens are beautiful and the hotel feels like an oasis within busy Funchal. Service was excellent and we enjoyed our stay. However, because Funchal is so busy/crowded the property is surrounded by roads, and traffic noise was more noticeable than we expected for a hotel marketed as a peaceful retreat. Indeed the sound of roadworks and building nearby was noticeable. It's also funny that access to the Quinta is from the northwest (guests can't even use the drive of the old house) which is the "wrong side" for the City centre, so there's a fair bit of walking up and down hills. The hotel’s Green Key credentials and beautiful gardens are impressive, but some of the sustainability practices were inconsistent during our stay. The bathroom notices asked guests to leave towels in the bath only if they wished them to be replaced, yet towels and flannels left hanging were frequently changed anyway. We also saw no obvious provision for guest recycling or waste separation. Neither issue spoiled an otherwise enjoyable stay, but they did seem at odds with the environmental messaging. Odd too that the bells to call for refreshments at the pool were intermittent at best.”

  • A wonderful experience!

    “A wonderful stay! The staff were very friendly and helpful, the rooms clean and comfortable. The grounds of the hotel are beautifully kept and the exotic trees and plants clearly labeled. The swimming pool was well kept and very welcome in the warm weather. The food in the restaurant was delicious and very varied. A highly recommended hotel!”
