The hotel, an extended old manor house, was a nice little hotel. If you are not after anything other than a bed and breakfast hotel with a swimming pool than go for it (they did serve dinner, but I never tried it). The floor boards of the original part was a bit squeaky, woke me up every time I turned,... more

My wife and myself spent a week in this hotel in mid-October this year (2008). We found it excellent in every respect - very clean, nice room, very polite and attentive staff and very good buffet breakfast. An extra bonus (and surprise!) was when my wife was presented with a cake on her birthday. It's a reasonable walk (about 15... more

This being my 13th holiday on the beautiful island of Madeira and my first time away from the bigger hotels. I really enjoyed the whole atmosphere of this hotel, charming is the name of the chain of hotels and charming is a good word to describe it. If you like a nice relaxed informal place to stay this is the... more

We have recently returned from Funchal having stayed at the Quinta Perestrello and have some general points that may be useful. Our first time to Madeira and Funchal and we were pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed it as we were unsure we had decided on the the 'right' place. Funchal itself is pleasant and we were impressed how... more

This is an excellent choice for a short stay in Funchal. The centre and marina are 10-15 minutes walk and you are away from the rather unattractive 'hotel zone'. Hotel staff were very helpful. The room was nice with a balcony that gave a partial view of the sea. We ate in twice and were very happy with the quality... more

We have just returned from a week at the Quinta Perestrello and had a really relaxing time in this informal hotel. We would support what has been said by other reviewers in terms of accuracy. This is a small Quinta with character. If you want personal attention from staff for which nothing is too much trouble, then stay here. We... more

We stayed at this hotel the first week in June. The hotel is nice and central and within a 15 minute walk to the city centre of Funchal and a 10minute walk to the Lido. The hotel staff is very helpful and friendly and the breakfast offers a good variety of different foods. Our only problem was that we stayed... more

We are an English couple, aged 55. Our first visit to Madeira. We chose this hotel because of its location, an easy three-quarter-mile walk to the centre of Funchal, mostly through gardens, (although it is uphill going back), and because of its small size. The huge modern hotels in the Lido area, (further out), with their six hundred guests were... more

We stayed here from 1st March to 8th of March, the staff here are truly excellent especially Sergio and Marco. As other reviews have said it has a buffet breakfast server from 7.30-10.30 which we found very varied and plenty of it. Cold meats fresh fruit salad bread an jam - even scrambled eggs with either bacon or sausage. It... more
