Superb architecture! the historical Quinta surrounded by the crescent of the modern hotel with almost over-sized rooms, sunny balconies in February and a gorgeous look at the huge park with gigantic trees and flowers in blossom while it is wintry at home, sloping gradually down to the Atlantic Ocean, located in the nostalgic village of Monte, the asylum of the...

Looking at other reviews I assume we were unlucky in visiting this hotel in low season but our experience is that this is a four star not a five star hotel; most of the extras that make the difference are missing. We have just visited at a time of year when the place was almost empty. Visitors were missing and... More

32 years ago we thought Madeira sounded the place for our honeymoon but our finances would not allow, now with family grown up and financially self sufficient the time came to treat ourselves. We were not disappointed. Preferring countryside to city we opted to stay up the hill in Monte at the Quinta do Monte. This is a truly lovely... More

After one night at the sister hotel at Funchal (Perestrella) with quite some traffic noise, we asked for at transfer til Quinta do Monto in the mountain village "Monte". Very wonderfull place, Wonderfull garden, great wiew. Quite nights. Very friendly personnel at the hotel. Will definitely come back again. More

We stayed here as the final hotel on a walking holiday with Inntravel. It is quite an imposing entrance and the receptionist was impersonally professional, although others were much friendlier. Our room was a welcome sight - 2 big beds (our only gripe were the pillows which were thin and lumpy and not what I would have expected), good bathroom,... More

We really enjoyed being up in Monte, a bit away from the big crowds. It's quieter and also cooler than down in Funchal. But of course, you will have to use your rented car or bus/taxi (or cable car!) to go to other places. The hotel provides fair value and has very friendly staff on all levels. Don't expect too...

Quinta do Monte is situated in the mountains where the air is fresh and humid. It's also easy to go for levada walks from there. The hotel and the rooms are nice. Only the bathrooms are so damp and cool that it's difficult to get the swimming suits dry. However, I've never slept better in a hotel. The air is... More

The hotel sits high above Funchal in the village of Monte, where the air is cooler and fresher. It is surrounded by lush madeiran vegitation and the area of Monte has an interesting history, the last of the Hapsburg dynasty was exiled and died here. There is a sense of grander times and peacefullnes in the evenings when all the... More

We stayed for three nights at the end of our walking holiday after a tough levada walk from Camacha. The hotel lies in Monte high above Funchal and operates a free bus shuttle to Funchal & back as welll as free shuttle service to three sister hotels where you can use the facilities and dine there. There is an indoor... More
