First of all I will start with a warning: Do not, I repeat, Do Not have the audacity to put this review to the test, you will regret and grow white hair all over your head. There are hundreds (not to say all of them) of other (better) hotels in Madeira Island. Second, an apologize to jdsabino. I apologize because... more

I found this hotel with the purpose to commemorate the 10th anniversary I met my wife. So I tried to find a romantic place where to stay. At first view Jardim da Serra could have all ingredients for this event. It was a bad surprise for us when we started seeing things that for us is inadmissible in a five... more

This is really a warning to others who, like us, assumed they were visiting a 5-star hotel as advertised. The hotel was situated about 5 km from the nearest small village with any amenities such as shops and restaurants, and the journey was all downhill. Therefore, to find an alternative to the appalling food, you needed to either get your... more

April 25 2008 We have just returned from a lovely week in Madeira. This hotel has so much going for it - a great overall atmosphere with a lovely old house complimented by a new hotel block and swimming pool. We were fortunate and stayed in one of the rooms with a balcony and a very good bathroom with bath... more

My girlfriend and I managed to get a good deal at this hotel and were pleasantly surprised. It is as good as the photographs hint, better in fact. Not only are the staff pleasant but the surroundings and facilities are so well laid out that this hotel is my idea of the 'perfect escape'. Uncrowded, clean and beautiful with reasonably... more

This is an interesting hotel, balancing some ultra-modern and rather minimalist design in the newer parts with the more traditional design of the older parts. In tems of location, it is quite isolated (as other reviewers have noted) . The room was very modern, clean, comfortable and well-equipped. However, there were a few problems. There was no bath, but a... more

Unlike the glowing comments below I am afraid I can not share the same view of this hotel. This really is not a great place to stay and I would advise to book into another quinta (perhaps at Monte which is in an equally out of the way location but has better transport connections). It sounds wonderful but the reality... more

I wasn't going to write a review as clivebranch and polkmowbray have quite cmprehensively described the hotel and its facilities. However, we had such a lovely week at Q. Jardim da Serra that I felt compelled to write. Our room was comfortable and spotlessly clean. The staff were efficient and clearly enjoy working at Q.J da S as they were... more

Just got back after a week half-board at this hotel with my wife and three children,two five year olds and one eight year old. The good points: Superb pool/jacuzzi area. Nice clean rooms. Helpful polite staff. Picturesque grounds. The bad points: Food poor and unimaginative-lack of fresh vegtables.You have a choice of two starters and two mains!Take my advice and... more
