This is a lovely family home, in a quiet part of Funchal, but on the bus route and only 10 mins from the centre by car. Secluded, quite a large garden, overlooking the bay, with a verandah outside on which sumptuous breakfasts were served in the pleasant March sunshine. Rita & Filipe are assiduous in their effort to make everyone... More

We stayed a week in March 2013, our first visit to Madeira, and QSG was a great choice. It's a comfortable and modestly elegant family country house, the family home of Rita, the owner (the bedroom we stayed in at first was her bedroom as a child). We then moved to the "mini-suite", a larger room with a larger bathroom... More

The Quinta Sao Goncalo has to rate as one of the loveliest b&b establishments we've ever stayed in. It's a classy old estate with a lovely and quiet front garden, a mere 25-minute walk from the centre of town. There are only about 5 rooms, so it tends to sell out quickly. The rooms themselves are quite large and most... More

We stayed 8 nights in Quinta Sao Gonsalo in February 2012. The quinta is very beautiful with a big tropical garden. The location was very good for us. Its is on a hill above the sea with fantastic views of Funchal, also very quite, but still a walking distance to the city center (20 min downhill and back 5 Min... More

On the opposite side of the city from the 'hotel zone' and in a residential area. Wonderful view of the harbour from our sea-view room or from the large private garden. No real need for a hire car as a bus stop is very close (easy to use with a 'Giro card' you buy on the bus and then recharge... More

Quinta Sao Goncalo is a beautiful mansion in a quiet residencial area in Sao Goncalo, about 20-30 minutes walk from Funchal, or a very exciting 10 min. bus ride (bus stop right in front of the hotel). Every morning, breakfast ist served on the terrace with a view on Funchal and the cruise ships at the harbour. It was so... More

We have stayed in several places in Funchal, and Quinta Sao Goncalo is by far the very best. Both from our room and from the garden there were breathtaking vistas over the Atlantic, the lower mountains and the town and port of Funchal itself. The room was well furnished and had lots of space. Breakfast was served in the garden... More

We loved our stay at this beautiful historic villa. The junior suite is large, airy, well cared-for, with a comfortable firm four-poster bed and new en-suite bathroom. The view from its private balcony is amazing. The garden is gorgeous with scented tropical plants and a panoramic view of the bay. The owner and her staff were very helpful. Note there... More

It is a beautiful hotel with a fantastic view over Funchal bay. There is a parking inside. The rooms are very clean and elegantly furnished. Breakfast is fantastic.
