fantastic location, wonderful view, super friendly and helpful staff,spotlessly clean.

Siobhan Ireland

Breakfast was ample, the room adequate and the pool was a great size with very attentive staff. The only negative was that due to the high salt content it was difficult to swim in but great for floating - akin to the Dead Sea.

Robert United Kingdom

The location was excellent with direct access to the beach and an easy walk to town. The seawater pool was lovely and the pool staff were absolutely fantastic.

Sally United Kingdom

Good location ,great charm not being high rise and like an olde world estate .

David Spain

found the price to be reasonable and the facilities were great. Our room was at the back and it was nice and quiet, with a nice outdoor area. Access to two pools offered variety and the breakfasts were more than adequate.

Dionne Australia

Lovely relaxing hotel set in gardens near the marina. Clean, comfortable room with friendly, helpful staff and a good breakfast. Small swimming pool on site or use of the pool and facilities of the sister hotel. Excellent restaurant on site with outside seating overlooking the garden.

Carol United Kingdom

Friendly helpful staff. Excellent breakfast, good location for going to Funchal.

Graham United Kingdom

We like old style hotels as they have more character than more modern buildings, so this hotel fitted the bill nicely. It is the fourth time we have stayed and we have another trip booked for the autumn. The breakfast is very good with a choice of hot and cold food, which can be taken inside the restaurant or out on the patio. Guests have the use of two pools, one in the old hotel grounds and another in the sister hotel which is a very short walk away and accessed by a lift. We can strongly recommend the Quinta da Penha de Franca for couples and for families with children as there is a shallow pool in the sister hotel. There is also access to the sea from the pool area via some steps but it should be noted that the sea is often rough and not suitable for children unless they are strong swimmers. The general location of the hotel is excellent as it is only a short walk from the centre of Funchal where there are many first class restaurants and a good choice of shops.

Catherine United Kingdom

Nice location, impressive infrastructure but dated

Michal Poland

We booked a Junior Suite and the location was amazing - right next to the sea- beautiful view from the balcony.
