Quinta Da Casa Branca

Have recently returned from this beautiful hotel which exceeded expectations. This is a haven for those seeking tranquility, located within an arboretum with labelled trees and bushes from across the world together with a curated banana plantation. The garden pavilion provides the location for a wide choice of breakfast surrounded by lush vegetation. Rooms are well appointed and service is friendly and professional. Would love to return to experience again the peacefulness which this special hotel exudes. Graham V Cornwell

We have just returned from the hotel having had a wonderful experience staying there. The staff cannot do enough for you, ready to answer any queries or requests. The hotel itself is set in the most beautiful setting of a tropical gardens, the groundsmen keep it immaculate. It is so relaxing and did us a great deal of good spending some quality time there. There is a wide choice for breakfast and catered for me as gluten intolerant. I had a couple of massages in the spa, some of the best I've have ever had, thanks Keila. The one area we thought could be improved was the decor in the room, particularly the bathroom was looking a bit tired. Otherwise a fantastic hotel, to which we will hopefully be returning.

We decided on Funchal for our holiday without fully realising the geography of the island, however our choice of hotel turned out to be an absolute oasis of calm and tranquility. Arrived at the hotel after the half hour transfer from the airport via a very good road system that takes you through numerous tunnels to be met by very friendly reception staff and shown to our room overlooking extensive gardens. The room, very light and airy with welcoming fruit bowl ,chilled water bottle and all other amenities. En suite facilities with bath and separate shower. A verandah and sun beds complete the facilities with evening turndown service every night provided by happy smiling room service staff. Within the superb gardens there are two swimming pools all providing full towel and refreshment services throughout the operating hours. The breakfast provided in a separate building within the gardens is extensive and served by happy smiling staff makes for a good start to the day. The hotel offers lunch and dinner services for hotel or visiting guests although for us we felt the offerings were not what we might have expected. Quinta da Casa Branca is located in what you might say an elevated location when considering the main area of Funchal so any walking trip out for dining or sight seeing will entail a walk back uphill at some point, good for exercise but can be exhausting if you have partaken in a heavy meal or libation. Overall our experience was an extremely positive one for the hotel, its location, services,gardens and facilities, perhaps our return visit should just be to soak up the peace and tranquillity offered by the property having experienced the somewhat busy atmosphere of Funchal.

Diinner and grounds are great. We had 2 good meals. Breakfast. average Two pool areas great for chilling Size of room good Quiet Overall service was good, friendly staff. Problems at check in as hotel arranged transfer did not meet us and staff failed to take responsibility.

Whilst the room in the Manor House was spacious, it was not 5 star and we were very much abandoned eg in the main rooms there were regular updates on weather, events, tours etc, this was only available to the new rooms. Room was "cold" and stark, in need of colour such as flowers in the fireplace. Curtains could have been better and limited the views There was a good library room but all the books were in locked cabinets. Overall the Manor House felt not part of the hotel, Traditional verging on tired and in need of an update. The function rooms were hardly used. Also the restaurant on the ground floor was only used by a small group of people

Great service wonderful gardens and a tranquil oasis

Garten, Lage und Frühstück perfekt.

Einige Dinge sind auszubessern.

Le petit déjeuner est très bon, le parc est magnifique, le personnel est sympa, l’établissement est bien situé. Nous avons été surclassé dans une suite du manoir !!! Les piscines sont très agréables , Le restaurant bistro est très bon.

Le point d’amélioration : plus de tables à l’extérieur pour le petit déjeuner..
