This hotel is described variously as 4* and 5*, and it certainly is a mixture of the two. We loved the situation, at the top of the chair lift, and the start of the toboggan run. We loved the public areas of the hotel - polished floors, oriental rugs, lovely comfortable sofas and antique furniture. Reception staff staff were charming... more

The good points: The hotel is set in really beautiful grounds and gardens. It has very elegant public areas – reception, lounges, cocktail bar and dining room. It also has a very pleasant indoor pool. The room was very spacious and well-equipped, with nice décor. We found all the reception staff very polite & helpful, and the bar/lounge staff were... more

My wife and I visited Madeira for a week in Feb 2008 and found the Quinta do Monte to be excellent in every respect. Located in a quiet area, it offers a high level of comfort and is surrounded by a very attractive garden. The reception area, lounges and bar are situated in the original manor house which was once... more

I have just returned from a one week stay at the Quinta do Monte in Madeira. I was travelling alone and am a male, over 65 years old. I thought that this hotel was outstanding in every respect. Built in the old style, positioned high up away from the traffic in Funchal (yet easily accessible by three public bus services,... more

Although the hotel itself is a beautiful building in an equally beautiful setting this hotel struggled to reach 3 star standard rather than the 5 star to which it purports. The "low" season in which we visited was also reflected in the way the hotel was run and although the staff were friendly, the hotel we encountered did not coincide... more
