Just returned from a week at this hotel and we were happy with our choice. As others have said it is set in lovely gardens and you have the use of two pools, one at the Village hotel and the adjoining Mirarmar. It is an easy walk to the Lido area with an abundance of restaurants. Would recomend the Adjudar... more

We have just returned from 4 pleasant days in Funchal. The Pestana Village is one of the prettier (ie less high-rise & glass) resorts in the area. It has fabulous gardens & the pool facilities looked great (sadly the weather was not good enough for us to try them out). It is classifies as 4 star but unfortunately the rooms... more

This was an attractive hotel set in fine gardens (in fact it's two hotels, the other being the Mira Mar, both owned by the Pestano group...along with much else on the island. Visiting in February means that the weather is going to be uncertain, but for us it was bad. Cold and wet doesn't help to write a positive review!... more

Lovely village feel among gardens - better than big blocks which so many hotels feature. Their best feature is their extremely friendly and helpful staff who bent over backwards to assist in every way they could. Not the most modern of hotels, but has a distinct charm. more

A beautiful garden with good sized accommodation. The apartments are slightly dated and could benefit from a full refurbishment. Everything is well maintained and very clean. The on-site restaurant was disappointing with the type of buffet style reminiscent of package holidays in Spain. The restaurant in the linked Miramar Hotel was much better but was quite expensive. An outdoor restaurant... more

We went package with Thompsons from Bristol, the aircraft was of course cramped and package with lottery tickets on sale etc - why don't they just leave you alone? The transfer from Funchal airport was seamless, the hotel were prepared for our arrival and the room (221) was great (if a little noisy at night because of the road 100m... more

Horrible experience. My husband and I had an horrible experience that began with a check-in at 2AM made by unprepared personnel that had us spinning around for 2 hours showing all their terrible small, airless rooms and we ended up with a suite with no air condition, an old mattress, a very dirty carpet and 2 dead cockroaches in the... more

We would have given this a 4.5* rating if available. It would take perfection from any resort to rate 5*s, can't think there are many around. We found the staff friendly and helpful, especially Marco in reception, Bruno at the bar and Lisbeth. Thanks to you all for making us feel so welcome. The complimentary bottle of Madeiran wine and... more

Just returned from one week staying at the Pestana Village Aparthotel; wished we had booked for longer! The gardens in which the aparthotel is set, along with it's sister the Mirimar, are fantastic. We booked the tour of the gardens, our guide was Lisabeth, this was fabulous; her knowledge of the common and Latin names of the shrubs, trees and... more
