Older style hotel with almost a Colonial feel about it. Great location in beautiful gardens overlooking the harbour. A bridge links this hotel with a sister hotel close to the sea so you have a choice of pools. Although large the hotel never seems crowded. Staff are friendly and efficient and the breakfast is good. The city centre is only... More

We stayed one week in this smoothly run hotel with its excellent staff, fantastic location and nice gardens. From the QdPdF you can stroll easily to downthown Funchal or the the hotel district (and back). In the immediate neighbourhood there are some very good restaurants too. Relaxing by the pool is good too. Though it's not small, the lay out... More

We stayed at the Quinta da Penha de Franca hotel from May 5 through 10, 2013 for vacation. We were lucky to have an apartment in the garden, facing the swimming pool and next, the ocean... Madeira is like one big garden of colorful flowers and wonderful trees and this hotel has it all on its grounds. We literally had... More

This hotel is older, almost in the 1920's style, but in beautiful condition. It is on the border between the centre of Funchal and the hotel district and hence is a quick walk into the city centre. It has a heated pool and access to two more at its sister hotel which is just an elevator ride away. The hotel... More

This was a hotel that suited us down to the ground, and I mean that literally, as lots of other hotels in the area seemed to involve much hill-climbing. We stayed in the "Franca Penha Mar" part of the hotel, as we wanted a sunny outlook and liked the look of the pool area down there. The room was spacious... More

We didn't want to stay in one of the bland high-rise international hotels at the western end of Funchal. Luckily, thanks to Tripadvisor, we found the Penha de Franca. Its a low-rise traditional style building built around a pool and gardens with most rooms overlooking the sea. An oasis in a convenient location. The staff were all efficient and friendly... More

Stayed here over the bank holiday, we stayed at the part over looking the sea and loved every minute of it. The staff from reception through to breakfast and the bars/room cleaners were excellent and also very friendly. The rooms were clean and the area by the pool was huge and was kept in very good order by the pool... More

I very much enjoyed Penha de Franca. The rooms with balcony, overlooking the garden and the ocean are very nice. There is a mini bar (also to be used as fridge, although not much fits in there). There is a spar very close on the road of the hotel, good to get a bottle of wine and snacks, so you... More

We made a good choice of this hotel. It's in an ideal situation close ti town, the port and restaurants. The staff are so helpful and friendly. Rooms immaculately clean. Breakfast choice great with fresh fruits etc. Lovely garden to relax in with pool and added advantage of use of sister hotel too
