Funchal unfortunately became a quite dirty and stinky, polluted city. Therefore in my opinion it is lovely to choose a place to stay where you are far from noise and pollution. After a 10 minutes drive you reach Monte, around 600 meters above Funchal, perched on a very steep hill. Entering the property it seems that you enter in a... More

This hotel ls situated up in the hills above Funchal. After a good nights sleep, if you like very firm beds, you'll wake up to the sound of the birds singing. No noises from traffic,nor from the city, nothing. Then you can go down to the restaurant and enjoy a very nice breakfast before heading out. A complementary bus lets... More

Having travelled up in the cable car, we decided to head up the hill to this hotel, attracted by the 5* rating. Unfortunately, this was no more 5* than fly in the air! Stood for 15 minutes waiting for one (very run off his feet) waiter to come back and seat us and provide menus. Gave up, walked back down... More

This is a historical hotel where the last Austrian emperor spent his exile. There a lots of antiques and the décor is very appropriate for the hotel’s status. All of the people working in the hotel that we met are very friendly. The bathroom is fairly large. Now for the bad part. The furniture is very basic. The beds are... More

The hotel public areas are in the old quinta with new accommodation curved behind. The hotels own densely planted botanical gardens slope away with paths and terracing. It is a tranquil setting, good to relax. The location is way up the mountain in Monte, perched high above Funchal the capital. The 15 min cable car ride terminates very near the... More

Maybe I am turning into the Hotel Inspector but there were a number of niggles which spoiled this visit . Looking at the positives..... Lovely reception areas and sitting areas and lovely evening meals. There was a tasting menu the first night and I was presented with four vegetarian courses which were all delicious and the second evening's choice was... More

A lovely hotel in a lovely setting above and out of the way of overcrowded Funchal. Excellent and attentive staff both at reception and in the dinning areas. An hotel with an excellent reputation that lives up to its billing.

I stayed at the Quinta do Monte for two nights as part of a walking holiday with a friend. This was the best hotel of the four we stayed in. The staff were the highlight of our stay.

We stayed at the Quinta do Monte in February 2012. The location is beautiful overlooking the hotel's own gardens and Funchal beyond. The rooms are comfortable, facilities good and the hotel generally attractive. It is quiet and peaceful but a bit remote from the town, though there is a courtesy bus during the day. The people are very helpful and... More
