“This is a small quiet hotel in a residential area of Funchal. We had a large ground floor junior suite which was probably the quietest and most private in the hotel. It was shaded by a pergola, so the balcony did not get much sun - a plus in high summer. Beautiful views across Funchal and out to sea from a delightful patio and garden. The staff were exceptional and the service in the restaurant was outstanding. I’m gluten free and staff never had to be reminded of this - I was very impressed with the care they took, double checking menu choices. An unusual feature of the bar is a define your own happy hour policy. You can have 40% off drinks (wine excluded) during any hour you choose in a day. There is a very small outside pool and a covered rooftop pool.”

“I loved this hotel - it has an old style charm to it, room was very spacious, meticulously clean with a view of the beautiful gardens. Great spa and indoor and outdoor pools. Lovely breakfast - particularly loved the omelettes and fresh juices. Staff are very attentive, helpful and went out of their way to make us feel welcome.”

“Everything was perfect for us : people, room, breakfast, restaurant. This hotel offers great quality service.”

“Staff are very friendly and welcoming, breakfast is excellent and the hotel is very comfortable.”

“A great ‘individual’ hotel - attractive for not being a clone of others in large chains. Very friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast, bar and restaurant food was good.”

“Excellent, man choices plus clever solutions to keep it COVID safe”

“Authentic place with amazing garden and large rooms”

“The room was large, well equipped and comfortable, a complementary bottle of water was in the room on arrival. The gardens were beautiful, and while quite small provided a lovely setting for the outdoor part of the bar. Dinner in the restaurant was delicious, I loved looking out over an old tree and watching the birds as the sun set while eating. Breakfast was perfect, a great selection of continental and cooked items, all fresh including the selection of juices. Attentive and helpful staff all around the hotel, special thanks to Rosie who managed to arrange a horse riding tour plus transport at what was incredibly short notice and had excellent recommendations for things to do and see around Funchal. Indoor pool had a fantastic view. I did not have time to visit the spa, games room or gym.”

“Very great. Staff hotel were very friendly and welcoming. A little corner of paradise.”

“Lovely location about 10 minutes out of town. beautiful grounds and WONDERFUL staff. Games room was a nice touch.”
