Besser geht es nicht
Pros:

Sehr hübsches Haus, ruhig gelegen, großes bequemes Bett, kurzer Weg in die Stadt oder zum Hafen, auch tolle Restaurants in der Nähe, keine Parkplatzprobleme (es gibt eine Garage und Plätze auf der Straße - alles kostenlos). Das Frühstück war absolut fantastisch, frische Säfte, frische Früchte und Eierspeisen a la carte. Und vor allem das freundliche Personal ist zu erwähnen.

Cons:

Nichts!

Excellent for Rest and Relaxation
Pros:

This hotel was the perfect place for us to have some much needed R&R for 5 days. The Staff are so helpful and pleasant, the food is well presented and delicious in the restaurant. Breakfast has an excellent selection. It is about a 15 minute walk to the seafront and shops. It is downhill going but uphill on the return, which in the heat of the day can be hard work. There are plenty of taxis and tuk-tuks about to help get you from a to b if necessary. The Spa was easily accessible and had a nice selection of treatments. Beautiful rooms, very spacious and each has a balcony with table and chairs. A bottle of still and sparkling water is provided in the fridge, which is refilled FOC when empty. Large bathroom with all toiletries and towels Highly recommended

Perfection
Pros:

I travelled solo to this wonderful hotel and could not have felt more welcome. I had a huge room with a queen sized bed, sofa, and balcony. The staff (and the guests) were
all so lovely and I talked to so many people and never felt like I was ‘solo’. Having read the previous reviews I knew the hotel would be nice but I had 2 concerns… (1) I’d been too busy to book trips in advance and (2) I was worried the restaurant would be all fish and I don’t much like fish! Neither was a problem… firstly Rosie is the resident client relationship manager who promptly booked me a variety of levada walks which were all fab, and gave me ideas and instructions for anything else I wanted to do. Way easier than me pre planning from home. Secondly, the menu was à la carte and had a mix of fish, meat and veggie options. The food so delicious that by the end of the week I found myself ordering fish and enjoying it! Beware that with 3 courses every night you will put on weight even with all the hills to walk! I never return to a hotel or holiday destination because there are so many places to see in the world, but this hotel has broken the rule. The day I returned, I booked to go back next year with my son, and I cannot wait.

A beautiful oasis of calm in the center of Funchal

Book this hotel!
Pros:

This hotel has high standards in all that it does. It is situated a short walk from the main drag surrounded by a beautiful garden. The staff are simply wonderful, warm, helpful and accommodating. Our room was clean, large, well equipped with the largest bed we have ever slept in! Breakfasts are simply too good for words and the dinner menu interesting and enjoyable. All in all great value for money. Why wait? Book it! Based on our experience you won't be disappointed.

Amazing!
Pros:

There aren't enough stars to give this hotel. It was perfect in every way. The staff were amazing, and couldn't do enough for you. Particular thanks to Katherina on reception, who was wonderful.
We are already looking at booking our next visit.
Thank you to all at the hotel, and look forward to seeing you again soon.

Cracking all round hotel with fantastic staff and services to match
Pros:

This is one of the friendliest small hotels i have ever stayed at. From the welcome from the very knowledgeable Sara at front of house, to Marta, Catrina and Phillipe in the excellent Restaurant and Marco, Antonio and Bernard in the Bar area, not forgetting Laura and company in the Spa who all do the hotel proud.
Rooms are spacious (ours had a balcony - recommended) Suites ar also available. The Hotel is in a quiet part of Funchal a 10 minute walk downhill into town. The Five Stars are truly deserved for the quality here with a clear passion for outstanding service at a keen price point.
It was a pleasure to meet Andre the “Manager” who arranged a drinks reception who seems to have a wonderful relationship with all of his team.
The food menu was extensive and delicious. Breakfast could be hot or cold with hot food being cooked to order. They have a wide selection of wines and local beer on tap.
Very homely furnishings with fresh flower arrangements everywhere.
Two pools, indoor in the second floor and outdoor in the spa area.
Very happy to recommend the spa treatments professionally delivered by highly qualified staff.
The whole hotel kicks well above its weight.
