Property is in a good location, with free parking. However does not qualify as 4 or 5 star hotel, no fridge in room or coffee/tea making facilities. The bed was hard and uncomfortable, with pillows as flat as pancakes. Hotel needs modernising with leaks, paint on walls bubbling, dated warn carpets, warn hard flooring in need of varnishing, balcony had concrete chunks missing with metal bars exposed. Breakfast was the same every morning with eggs, and cheap streaky bacon and hotdogs with selection of cereal, bread and fruit. Should add more with pastries, beans etc... easy fixes for the hotel to reach its potential as it could be really nice and the staff were lovely.

We enjoyed a very relaxing vacation at the hotel. The staff is very helpful and the views are amazing. The indoor parking is very convenient (BTW the car is a must, the area is not pedestrian-friendly, and there is a lot of places to see on the island where a car is the best way to get to)

Liked the pool, dinning room good , parking good reception good, didn't like no tea tray in room , no fridge in room, aircon in room poor, balcony furniture needs replacing, sun lounging beds round pool very uncomfortable over worn and need replacement, the pool bar was closed, breakfast was lacking choices, no toaster, one day ran out of English breakfast tea bags. The hotel is a bit run down and needs tideying up and painting, the grounds are large and interesting, all the staff were fantastic couldn't falt them. The Quinta was like stepping back in time, We did enjoy our stay very much.

Great views, nice garden, and good breakfasts. Bit away from central Funchal, but that was probably a good thing.

Lovely hotel in a quiet village with easy access to Câmara de Lobos and Funchal - nice to have a hotel with more of a local feel and some personality. Hotel staff friendly and helpful. Would have been nice to have a bar open for an after dinner drink.

Really enjoyed our first visit to Madeira and would love to come back when the flower festival is on.

This hotel is definitely not 5 star as advertised and also etched on the entrance door. It is in a desperate need of updating from the room down to the sunbeds. What a shame as the hotel is in a nice area up in the hills with fantastic views over Camara do Losbos and the sea behind. We took the hotel shuttle into Funchal one day to be dropped off somewhere behind the old town with quite a long walk and a longer walk back up hill to catch it for our return. It was a long drive back dropping people on roué at another hotel. We discovered the local bus the next day! The hotel has 2 restaurants. Baccus restaurant was excellent with very good service. This was where we had our breakfast which was good with good choices.

The staff were very friendly. The breakfast was very good. The restaurant attached to the hotel was to die for, the meat was excellent.

Nice hotel with more character than many of the newer hotels. Looking a little worn around the edges in places. Nice view from all the rooms. Moderately priced BBQ restaurant and a "posher" Buffet restaurant which we found a bit overpriced for what was served. Staff were all unfailing helpful and overall very peaceful. Not much to do on a wet Wednesday though as it is a bit too far out of town. There is a free shuttle but it is not quite the same as being able to walk out of your door into a street full of activity. Good access to walking. Would recommend the "Safari" trips on Landrovers. Great fun,well informed guides and a good way to see the island.

Quiet location, with a good, distant view of the ocean and city lights. A bit hard to find, with two rated restaurants on the property. This hotel is part of a small chain of hotels. It was rated by Expendia as a four star, they rate themselves a five star property. The property is feeling little tired, and could use a face lift, especially for the price. Internet only in the lobby area, not on pool deck and not in the rooms. Still has a Cathode Ray Tube style TV, almost an antique at this point. Our balcony had peeling paint and stucco, and the hardwood floors in the room could use refinishing. The common areas with the exception of the pool area were better, and the car park and breakfast were included in the rate. Breakfast was a high point. Probably the best breakfast we had in our week in Madiera were the two days we spent here.

A bit of a hiccough on our first night but we were more than adequately compensated not that we would have expected them to do so. Situated in a pleasant village/small town we one could readily savour the local atmosphere. Easy access into Funchal and back on the bus.

Room had balcony, decent size, which faced out to sea with lovely views. Double bed was two singles pushed together which, is really what it is, no great. Very clean although bathroom just a little tired, needing a wee touch up with paint etc, but was immaculate, so no need to complain. swimming pool was good but absolutely baltic, although once in it was bearable. good sunbeds and always lots of space, so nice to relax. Restaurant was lovely as was food.The main part of hotel is just wonderful, we sat with a couple of liquers, drinks that is not some sort of foreign persons, and took ourselves back to a life where we lived the life of that time. Lovely little room on the top floor, we had coffee on the balcony on our first night it was just so special. Staff were just great, very helpful and cheery.

Lovely Hotel Great Pool area so quiet, Lovely room, Nice big bed. quiet. Breakfast excellent.Nice reception area good parking. Super Supermarket 3 mins from Hotel Bus service 10 mins from hotel direct to Funchal Nice staff.

The Quinta could do with a lick of paint and new carpets but if you are able to see beyond that this place has a great deal going for it. We didn't have a car for our week there and frankly didn't did one. The Quinta has a free minibus for trips into Funchal which we used twice and saved us a fortune on taxis. Being part of Charming Hotels we were able to be transported(free) and feed at some of the other hotels in the group and I would recommend this highly to anyone considering going. The pool and sauna were good and waiter service excellent. The breakfast was both bountiful and quality. The drinking of Buck's Fizz first thing in the morning is something that I could easily acquire as a daily ritual. The Quinta is situated very close (500m) to the start of a levadar walk to a glass floored building, where we had a picnic, supplied courtesy of the supermarket opposite the Quinta. The 3 hours trek each way including a stop off at a small bar was well worth the effort and made us feel healthy. We went on an organised trip to 25 fontes arranged through reception. I really can't praise too highly the warmth and friendliness of the staff and people of The Quinta. We will return

We stayed at this hotel just for one night. Unfortunately they put us in the villa which was not in the main hotel where we thought we would stay because of the fantastic views from the rooms. Another niggle was the fact that there was only a buffet dinner on offer when we wanted something light and a la carte. We did manage to find a good restaurant in town the Estrela Do Norte (recommend this as an excellent alternative)

An excellent hotel unusually located. Not your rowdy 'Benidorm' type hotel by the seaside - as so many hotels are - but instead situated about 1000 feet, or more, up from the sea in the foothills providing excellent views of Camara do Lobos and the mountains to the North. It was a little difficult to find as the hotel is not visible from the road and certainly my SatNav was having a few problems with the roads in Madeira! The tranquility of the hotel is wonderful and with two excellent restaurants to choose from you could certainly have your cake and eat it! After which you could sunbathe or swim in the hotel pool; which rarely had more than two people in it. If you like peace and tranquility and be spoiled by food and wine this is the place to come. There is very opportunity for exercise with the mountainous terrain and various trips as well as just walking up hill into the local village.

The best about this hotel is a nice pool area. The very best, charming restaurant authentich and lovely where found in this small village. Besides there are not too much to see.

The hotel is set quite high up, with good views, some 25 mins by mini bus from Funchal. I cannot fault the every helpful staff, but the hotel and the rooms are in need of refurbishment, e.g. the carpet from reception is very faded and patched with a newer piece, which is a different colour, the concrete wall at the end of my room's balcony is crumbling and showing the steel reinforcement bars, the wooden floor in the room is very faded where the sun shines in, there are holes in the plaster caused by the edges of the bedside tables and the there appears to be water damage to the lampshades. I spent time there in February. The hotel was only about a quarter full at most, consequently the hotel bar and the main restaurant weren't open, the brasserie and a bar down the hill, owned by the hotel, were open. The gardens would be nice, but need maintenance work.

This was a very comfortable hotel in a quiet area. The pool was excellent and a good size. The meals we had there were of a very high standard- but the dining room was relatively quiet in the evenings and lacked atmosphere and as a result the staff in anything were over-attentive.

Although the weather was disappointing (we had a lot of rain - February) we had a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday. The hotel was just what we needed - away from the bustle of Funchal yet conveniently situated with magificent sea views from our room. The hotel staff were really helpful and very professional. The two hotel restaurants are both very good - the Adega serves good local dishes at a reasonable price, while the Bachus is more formal and expensive but good for a special occasion. We ate there once and the food was delicious. Breakfast was a treat - fresh and plentiful with tropical fruits and even "champagne". Our only disappointing meal was at Churchills in Camara dos Lobos, although the town itself is well worth a visit - try to see the little sea farer's chapel by the harbour. The village of Estreito where the hotel is situated is OK but nothing special. The hotel does provide a free bus service into Funchal each day which is handy. Our favourite visit in Funchal was to the convent of Santa Clara - truly beautiful - don't miss it. We look forward to returning to Madeira and may well stay at the Quinta again.

This hotel is absolutely first rate. A wonderful blend of traditional and modern with extremely helpful and charming staff. All the rooms have the fantastic view across the immaculate gardens and down to the sea at Camara de Lobos. The breakfasts are very good and can be taken sitting in the sun outside the old building which now houses the 'Bacchus' restaurant, a bar and library. The garden restaurant is excellent value and serves traditional Madeiran food cooked on an opoen grill. The Bacchus is more expensive and serves a different style of menu each night.

The hotel and its staff were excellent and the dining superb. There is a menu, which is changed daily, and dining is in either the old manor house (excellent bar) or in the larger restaurant below the hotel. A beautiful place altogether.

Quiet hotel in the hills, with good resturants, friendly staff and easy access to Funchal.Do
