Quinta Da Montanha

We had a fabulous three days stay here. The rooms were very comfortable with lovely views from the balconies. we enjoyed walking in the surrounding hills. We had excellent massage on site. The staff were helpful and friendly. The restaurant is excellent with a delicious buffet supper and a pleasant breakfast.

I loved the restaurant area and the hammock in the balcony of the room. The restaurant was great and the staff were kind. Absolutely gorgeous mountain setting! Perfect starting point to climb Pico da Antonia.

Not much to improve, though the WiFi did not work well in the room's balcony area and didn't work in the room.

The location was excellent with lovely views. Although the food choice is limited it was very tasty. The cachupa at breakfast was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful.

I didn't like some of the reviews which were unfair. The hotel is at the top of a mountain. It is colder here than lower down but this is to be expected. The staff wear thick clothes because they are cold. It is a poor area and it is not reasonable to demand that fires are lit. Wear outdoor clothing and it is perfectly warm. There are plenty of blankets for the bed.

This is a great location for hiking, although you need to choose carefully if you don’t want a 700m plus climb! The receptionist was delightful.

We were there in a cold period and since the hotel doesn’t have (or use) any heating, consequently everyone was cold and dining in there hiking gear. The breakfast was poor as was the buffet provided when the hotel had a large group or conference. Worse still when we checked out, we found the buffet cost more than the a’la carte which at least achieved an OK rating. The whole hotel is in need of some serious maintenance, the bed side lights didn’t work in our room. Most of the staff didn’t appear to be enjoying their work.

The view

Very cold in the rooms, not hot water

Beautiful location and view. Good food.

Room a bit tired. toilet leaking. Luke warm water in mornings. No wi fi in rooms even though there was supposed to be. Didn’t realise how cold it was going to be at night - take warm jumper and jacket for evenings during the winter months!

Far from civilization, access via a winding, scenic road. We asked in the town downstairs which street to turn into. Rooms with a terrace and a wonderful view of the island. Modestly, but cleanly. The food was in the form of a buffet, which we liked. We woke up in the clouds this morning! They passed

I loved the attention to details and to individual needs from the owner of this place. He elevates this accommodation to superior level really and makes every guest feel great. I really appreciate it. The views are also exceptional.

Friendly staff, fantastic location with superb view. Excellent location for hiking. Good breakfast.

WIFI is available but not everywhere.This, however, shoudn 't be estimated as a real minus quotation.

Beautiful location in the mountains, the owner / manager is very friendly, very flexible with late check out.

Most of the staff does not speak English, communication is quite hard. The restaurant does not have any menu, there is no information about prices, and it took us a while to figure out that there is only buffet. The food itself was quite good, but partly cold. The rooms are quite old and not well maintained.
