Hotel Quinta da Penha de França

Het was een heerlijk verblijf in Quinta da Penha de Franca. Een mooi hotel in oude stijl, met een stijlvolle inrichting, zowel in de prachtige lounge als in de ruime slaapkamers. Mooie tuin en mooi zwembad.

Our 5th stay at this hotel. Its in a great position, close to the centre of Funchal. The staff are very helpful, the resturant is good and the included breakfast is plentiful. We will be back again next year.

Have been to Madeira many times and often wondered what it would be like you stay at this hotel which is a stone's throw from the port. There is no noise or disturbance from the port which can be very busy with up to four cruise ships in at once, in the winter months. We were not disappointed and really enjoyed our stay especially eating breakfast right next to the sea in the outdoor area of the dining room. Stayed in the more modern Mar part of the hotel and everything was just perfect. Did not eat here in the evening as the dinner menu is very unfriendly for vegetarians. All level access into the city - it only takes 5 minutes - a pleasant walk past the cruise ships. The Quinta part of the hotel can be reached by a bridge over the road which separates the two parts of the hotel and this is more formal with gardens and lots of shrugged and trees.

A calm little oasis with lovely gardens in the middle of some big concrete hotels. Good service and nice to be able to choose which hotel to eat and swim at, the lower pool and access to the sea were great. The position is excellent for easy access to the town and restaurants but also quiet. The rooms are a little tired, especially near the garden but the ones with side views of the sea and a balcony were lovely.

This hotel is exceptionally handy for a range of good restaurants and the town centre. As it is a quinta it also offers a peaceful garden and character surroundings.(Unlike the massive new Savoy Hotel being developed behind it which is grotesque and far too big) The Quinta , it should be noted is the Penha de Franco, while the Penha de Franco du Mar is the sister hotel, a modern building below and in front of it and right on the see. You get the use of this as well so have the best of all worlds.
