Having just stayed at the Quinta da Penha Franca for the 3rd time we find it is definately a value for money hotel.

The gardens are charming and perfect for relaxing in, there is an excellent summer house quiet and ideal for... More

It really is very close to central Funchal, just 10 mins walk, unlike many of the hotels making claims of being central which involve... More
