Quinta da Casa Branca - Small Luxury Hotels of the World

This is an excellent hotel, with first-rate service throughout. We stayed 6 nights in Garden Room. All the staff are very helpful and friendly. Breakfast is really great. Also enjoyed dinner at the Bistrot and upscale Dining Room. And massage therapies were very good too. The weather for our stay was very unpredictable, so we relied on the hotel more than we expected. It’s a lovely place to relax, read, enjoy the gardens and have a cocktail. Overall, really excellent. Some tips: - Bolt taxi app is very affordable and reliable - Confeitaria cafe 5 mins away is great for lunch - Avista restaurant was very good, and Cris’s Place does a good fixed price menu

This hotel is not suitable for people with even slight mobility issues the rooms are downstairs from the reception and there is no lift . The footpath around the gardens , to and from the restaurant etc are sloping and uneven . The bedrooms are in need of an update. The sun beds provided on the bedroom terrace are a nice touch but no shade is provided. The restaurant is small and tables so close together you may as well be sharing so any conversation is difficult.

This is a special place. Beautiful room with lovely fittings and a nice range of extras. The gardens are fabulous. All of the staff were so kind and helpful. The food was great too - we had all our breakfasts in the hotel and one (fabulous) evening meal in the Manor House. We were so relaxed at the end of our stay.

Fantastic hotel in an amazing garden and grounds. Full of trees bushes and flowers from around the world. Facilities were great also. Only criticism it was very quiet with very little social reaction amongst guests, or social gatherings with organised events. Jet 2 were also lacking in involvement with no rep no notice board with events, trips or where to go.

I’m sad with my experience at this place! The staff were with a sad face all the time, the breakfast was medium and about the facilities “deze zouden beter verzorgd kunnen worden” ik ben van plan terug te komen en dit hotel nog een kans te gevIt was very bad

We came here for 10 nights to celebrate my husbands 60th and it couldn't have been more perfect! We loved this hotel, what a wonderful, tranquil place in the centre of Funchal. The gardens are a delight and a real haven for birds and butterflies, the gardeners do a wonderful job and you feel you can breathe in this hotel. The hotel itself is delightful, with first class staff, and food and two delightful pools. We dined half board every night in the Manor House, and what a treat it was. The food was amazing and some reasonably priced wines which is not often the case in such establishments. Breakfast on the outside terrace is lovely, with a buffet of pretty much all you can think of, as well a cooked options, such as eggs benedict, omelette, pancakes etc. They do a lovely assortment of lunch options too! We opted for a premium room and so glad we did, room was huge, with a large bathroom and a daybed and chair on the balcony, if you can afford the splurge,then consider one of these. Yes, in fairness the rooms are a tad dated, but that didn't detract for us as it was impeccably clean and we both said that should we visit Madeira again this would be our first choice of hotel, no question. Also a big thank you to the staff for making our holiday so special and working so hard to make this hotel so unique
