My wife and I returned to Madeira and this hotel after an absence of eighteen months and our greeting was as if we had visited within the last month. The management and staff had remembered all our likes and dislikes and as a result we enjoyed a perfect holiday. We have been guests at the Quinta Jardins do Lago on... more

Everything about this hotel is close to perfect if you are looking for a quiet, elegant, tastefully presented, well positioned base in Funchal. Everything, that is, but one, of which more in a moment. Our room (with garden view) was perfect, with all the amenities one could wish for. The garden is just delightful, showing in some measure how the... more

This is a wonderful B&B. Rooms super spacious with great views of the city and gardens, well located to main attractions, with very friendly staff. The restaurant is also very good. The pool is lovely, and I could easily see returning here and just staying at the b&b enjoying the food, gardens, and pool all day and night long. The... more

We stayed here for two weeks this summer - it was our second stay here. On both occasions we had a large standard room with garden view, and these are quite adequate for two people. Enough space, comfortable bathroom, clean, well-kept and with comfortable beds. For us, the location is ideal - north of Funchal city, a 10-minute walk down... more

Fom the moment one arrives it's like being greeted by old friends, from reception to the pool and from the bar to the restaurant in the evening. Names are remembered enquiries into ones health made. Just such a friendly place. The rooms are excellent, especially superior garden and junior suites. Pool lunch food is just right but the pool drinks... more

Chose this hotel mainly because of other favourable reviews and we were not disappointed. The hotel is away from the bustle of Funchal and is an oasis of calm, with the peace of the gardens being especially attractive. Our room was very spacious and the evening "turn down" with complimentary chocolates was a treat. Although we were told that the... more

Loved the setting, surroundings and size of this hotel. The grounds are beautifully laid out, full of mature trees and a wonderful variety of flowering shrubs - great to wander round at any time of day and an oasis of peace to relax in after a busy day sightseeing or walking the levadas! We had a delicious breakfast out in... more
