Lovely and quiet hotel. Great customer service. Delicious breakfast and very impressive and reasonably-priced cocktails. Really like the flexible happy hour. Massage was excellent, but water should be available for guests using the sauna, jacuzzi and hamam as these can be very dehydrating. The indoor pool isn’t sufficiently heated either. It would be nice if the following could be included as complimentary items in the room or even upon request: iron, teas and coffees with kettle, sanitising wipes.

Dear Emma, Thank you very much for going to the trouble of leaving your feedback regarding your recent holiday at the Quintinha. Thank you for your lovely comments regarding our customer service, cocktails, massage and breakfast. Firstly, we must apologise for the temperature of the indoor pool. We had a problem with the heating unit which required a part which had to be ordered from mainland Portugal, which, needless to say, took a while. The part arrived last week and was installed on Thursday but it did take some time to warm up to the right temperature. We have taken notice of your other comments and will endeavor to improve where possible. We hope we will have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future. Kind regards Yours sincerely André Barreto General Manager

Faultless. Beautiful hotel situated within well cared for gardens. Our room was big, airy, bright with balcony overlooking the garden. The hotel staff are attentive and informative. We swam in the indoor pool everyday after a long walk. Very quiet and relaxing. Happy hour cocktails fantastic too. Breakfast was amazing, everything you could wish for - including champagne! Highly recommend this gem of a hotel.

Excellent hotel with excellent staff

Got to be the best hotel that either my wife or I have stayed in. The staff are fantastic. The pools are great. The masterchef night is a top experience. The pool menu is very good too. Great facilities. Good location with courtesy bus. No negatives to mention. We look forward to returning next year.

We shall return

Ideal location - only about 15 mins walk to the seafront promenade in Funchal. The staff were excellent - friendly, attentive, courteous. Deluxe room with balcony overlooking the gardens - very spacious. Small Madeiran hotel with 33 bedrooms - excellent. We shall definitely return.

thank goodness for taxi's

Outstanding staff that always seem to want to go that extra mile. Only flaw that we could see was that the sun umbrellas at the pool need updating as all of them were ripped in some way and also a few more umbrellas on the terrace were needed.

Great Hotel

Had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were very helpful and friendly - Rosie gave us lots of good ideas for things to do in Madeira. The rooms were spacious and clean and nicely furnished and we had a balcony overlooking the garden. Breakfast was always realiably good with a wide choice on the buffet and the option of ordering cooked items too. Would recommend this hotel for those who do not like large chain hotels but prefer somewhere more charming and elegant.
