A good bet

For a 4 star hotel i would say that the quality of room furnishing was below par and the bathroom definitely needed a refurb. However the location , with a great sea side saltwater pool, and only 15-20 minute easy walk to Funchal old town, was excellent and made the hotel excellent value for money, overall, at the price. Also great breakfast with full range of choices and lovely staff. A good mid-range choice and we would probably choose it for a future visit.

Hotel Quinta da Penha de França was a quiet and quaint hotel. It was walkable to the main square with many restaurants nearby to choose from. The breakfast options were the best that we experienced in our 24 day trip in Portugal.

Pretty, but…

I liked the old fashioned quirkiness of this hotel, and the pretty gardens. Seems to cater to older Europeans who are repeat guests- as a solo, first-time guest the vibe, for me, was a little like being at a members-only club where I wasn’t a member. Some of the staff were nice- but one older restaurant staff member berated me when I asked for a fork for my take-away (there was nothing on the menu that appealed to me that evening). And the gentleman at the front desk (when I checked out at 5am for an early flight) was just plain surly. Overall it is a nice hotel, though, and breakfast was good.

This hotel was in a great position to walk into Funchal old town either along the promenade or down the many side streets. There is also a lovely park nearby with cafes. We got the Aerobus from the airport which drops you off within a 2 min walk (stop number 10) 6 euros. The breakfast every morning was amazing, continental,full english,cereals,fruit,pastries even smoked salmon on some days. There are 2 available swimming pools. One is a short walk over a bridge and down by the sea. The smaller one is in the garden which we used every day. All the staff were very helpful and welcoming. Our room was clean and tidy and very quiet.

Beautiful ocean setting. Fantastic breakfast buffet with outdoor seating. Upgrade or splurge on a second floor room. The first floor pool /ocean view is practically non-existent if you are sitting on the balcony as you are looking into the wall. Easy enough to move to pool chairs through. The front desk employee, Marilin, was awesome. Super freindly and helpful.

Affordable Island Paradise

A great environment at Quinta da Penha de Franca for our 7 nights in Madiera. Relaxed and uncrowded with a very good breakfast and an excellent cocktail bar. Madeira is an affordable Island paradise which improves every year. Stay in Funchal and visit Camara De Lobo and Machico.
