Quinta Funchal Gardens Adults Only - Review

Quinta Funchal Gardens Adults Only Hotel is a refined five star and adults only hotel, ideal for travelers seeking tranquility, comfort, and elegant surroundings. The hotel is situated on one of the hills overlooking Funchal, offering breathtaking panoramic views over the city and the Atlantic Ocean.

Despite its elevated position, the hotel remains conveniently accessible. Funchal’s city center can be reached in approximately 25 minutes on foot, while public transportation is also available for guests who prefer not to walk.

Guests arriving from Madeira Airport can reach the hotel in around 25 minutes by car. There is no direct public transportation from the airport to the property, therefore renting a car is highly recommended, particularly for visitors planning to explore the island. Alternatively, taxi services are readily available, and the hotel can arrange a paid shuttle service upon request.

The hotel staff are exceptionally friendly, professional, and attentive, always available to assist with any questions or requests. Guest rooms are spacious and luxurious, averaging around 30 square meters, and offer a high level of comfort. For an enhanced experience, rooms on the ground floor are highly recommended, as they feature private garden access along with stunning views.

All rooms are well equipped with air conditioning, flat screen televisions, and complimentary WiFi, ensuring a comfortable stay throughout the year.

Hotel Quinta Funchal Gardens also offers excellent wellness and leisure facilities, including a spa area, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a hot tub, sun terrace, and beautifully maintained gardens, perfect for relaxation. Additional amenities include a traditional restaurant serving dinner, a stylish bar, and a fully equipped fitness room.

Things to Consider

As with many warm climate destinations, occasional insects may be present. However, the hotel team is proactive and attentive in managing this, ensuring guest comfort at all times. Aside from this minor consideration, the overall experience was exceptional.

Usually the breakfast is also included in the room rate, the buffet looks a bit simple for five star hotel, however, there is a possibility to order an egg of your choice or crepe without additional costs.

Overall Impression

For travelers seeking a peaceful and luxurious retreat away from the bustle of the city, Quinta Funchal Gardens Hotel is an outstanding choice. It offers a serene atmosphere that feels like a private oasis above Funchal, combined with excellent service and high end facilities. Considering its five star standard, the hotel offers remarkably good value for money.

I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to enjoy a quiet, elegant, and memorable stay in Madeira.

Transparency note: I stayed in this hotel in person and combined my review with additional research.
