what a lovely hotel, perfect location and such friendly staff, especially the pool staff who cant do enough for you

Karen United Kingdom

lovely traditional property…not a huge hotel, friendly staff

Maxine United Kingdom

the gardens, overall so pretty. perfect location. good breakfast plenty of choice.

Julie United Kingdom

Breakfast was good , swimming pool by the sea amazing. Most of the staff we encountered were helpful, nice and polite

Monica Spain

we stayed at the little villa of the property. The room had the view to the garden, pool and ocean. I liked that they kept most things original like the doorhandles and furniture but then added modern windows and bath interior.

Sylvia Germany

Traditional older hotel with excellent location as you had two pools and access to the sea. Excellent breakfast with good coffee. Excellent location with about ten quality restaurants and bars within 3 min walk. It's an easy walk into Funchal compared to most hotels.

Steven United Kingdom

location is excellent. close to many restaurants, bars, and walk into Funchal centre.

Ian United Kingdom

beautiful quiet hotel, lovely staff, just perfect all round, I will come back

Lorna United Kingdom

good location on walking distance to town the dinners are of a good quality, breakfast has a good varity two locations to relax at the seaside or in the garden

Chris Netherlands

We prefer the more traditional hotel to the large impersonal modern hotels found in the majority of resorts, and Quinta Da Penha De Franca fits the bill exactly. It stands in very nice sub-tropical gardens and there is a choice of 2 pools, one up at the top hotel and one at the Franca Mar down at sea level. Access to the lower hotel is by lift just a few steps down the small road beside the hotel. There is a poolside cafe/bar down there if you fancy a spot of lunch or just a drink. Breakfast is included with the booking and is taken at Joe’s, which is attached to the upper hotel. There is a choice of continental or cooked, and there is plenty of choice (ham, cheese, scrambled eggs, beans, toast etc, or diced fresh fruit and yoghurt). We really like this hotel and its very convenient location within easy walking distance from the town, and plan to return later in the year.
