I was coming out of the hospital after being 'thrown off' a cruise ship (gastro epidemic on board) crossing the Atlantic. Funchal was the last port before 6 days at sea and since I am handicapped, the ship doctor chose to disembark me there. The port agent recommended the Quintinha and let me tell you, even though the circumstances of... more

This was our ninth-yes ninth!- stay at this family owned hotel. As always the staff are very helpful and courteous with many having worked at the hotel for years which is kind of reassuring in itself. The reception staff {24hr facility] cannot be faulted being extremely helpful and knowledgeable-if they don't know the answer they will find out for you.... more

Deliberately chosen away from the mass of the main hotel lido and with a smaller number of rooms, it was hoped that a quiet, leisurely atmosphere prevailed with some personal service.

Hired a car with friends this time and saw a lot of the island at our own pace, helped with information from Rosie on where to go and... more

The song goes "its nice to go travelling but it's Oh so nice to go home" This Hotel prides its self as "Your home from home" and it truly is. If you want perfect staff and rest and relaxation this is the place to go. Short walking distance to Funchal centre, pity about the hill but I suppose you have... more
