I would have to agree with many of the reviews - beautiful gardens, location in the small town centre is good, close to airport and Funchal. Our room was definitely tired and needed refurbishing, but it was clean. Spa is expensive, and as a result seemed little used. Car parking charge has been mentioned, but the free wireless internet is... more

Lovely grounds and setting - room very large with separte kitchen diner. Bathroom dated. Room 1078, had beautiful view with its own garden. Did not eat there but used two local restaurants which were fine. Would stay again if they sort out the beds. In thruth the room needed updating as everythinbg thee was assed its sell by date.

Stayed at the Quinta Splendida for a week at end of January. The studios face onto the wonderful botanical garden in which the hotel sits.

Just came back from a 4 day stay at Quinta Splendida with my wife, and I can tell you that once more the reviews at TripAdvisor are real, and the place really lived up to my expectations. I booked directly through the resort, who kindly and fast, answered every single question I had. So my best to the person who... more

Just returned from 3 nights at the Quinta Splendida and we had a great time just relaxing by the pool. The hotel is well located and as it is up high on a hill - has superb sea views and is also located within a botanical garden. Really loved the surroundings. Highlights include the rooms which are more like studio... more

We stayed here over New Year in a poolside apartment for four. Our two teens had beds in a large room which doubled as a sitting room/dining room, while we had a large double adjoining bedroom. We booked half board with Expedia, as it wasn't too much extra to have the evening meal included. The apartment was spacious and comfortable... more

Just a couple of more days left before we leave this hotel. Using their free internet access to write this review! We booked 10 days in a studio apartment but on arrival we were upgraded to a Spa Suite. Very nice indeed but you have no facilities here, not even a kettle to make a cup of coffee. The purpose... more
