Quinta da Casa Branca - Small Luxury Hotels of the World

We just had our sixth holiday at the wonderful hotel on Madeira. Thhe staff are fantastic and ensure a relaxed holiday for all. The hotel is an oasis and a 30 minute walk from central Funchal. It's a great place to relax and unwind and also a great location from which to explore the rest of the island. Bus transport is excellent and provides an option to renting a car or taking a taxi. The hotel places emphasis on wellbeing and has a spa and pools as well as options for massage and other therapies. Restaurants in the hotel include and informal terrace as well as a Michelin starred restaurant. There are plenty of local resaurants where locals eat so don't be afraid to try out their authentic dishes. We may well be drawn back again in the future - I hope so.

We have just returned from our first trip to Madeira and the Quinta da Casa Branca , it is a lovely hotel set in beautiful grounds. The staff were very helpful and nothing was to much trouble. Our room was clean and spacious . We looked forward to our breakfast which was well presented and varied from day to day. We will definitely be returning.

Arriving late due to flight delays, the hotel had thoughtfully laid out some cold plates in our room as the kitchen had closed. So very much appreciated after a long journey. A sign of positive things to come. Breakfast each morning was a delight, vast spread of changing fruit and baking, as well as a cook to order selection which gave too many excellent choices. Attentive servers and constantly replenished buffet. The gardens are immaculate and varied, and almost put the official botanical gardens to shame. Sitting in a jacuzzi surrounded by growing bananas was delightful. As the weather improved during the week the gardens were visibly growing. The hotel was a quiet oasis in a busy part of town. The main noise being birdsong. I wouldn’t recommend staying here if wanting nightlife, but it’s perfect for relaxation and escapism to unwind and chill. We didn’t eat in the on site restaurants but there are lots of options close by.

Thank you team that was a wonderful stay and I now have a happy wife .Your hotel was simply gorgeous,with lovely rooms,helpful reception,very good housekeeping team.We loved the food and drink with a memorable dinner on our last night .my wife loved her spa treatment and the gardens were a treat .

If you want somewhere quiet with lovely gardens and great food then this is for you! Staff are all wonderful and helpful. So why only 3 stars? Sadly it was too quiet for us, absolutely no atmosphere and nowhere to relax in a lounge with a drink and chat. The communal areas are well furnished and 4-5 star but completely devoid of any atmosphere. Ate in the standard dining room where service and food was excellent and the same in the more formal Dining Room. But after eating there is nowhere to go and relax with an after-dinner drink. So back to the pretty tired bedroom - ours was in the old wing. Perhaps the newer double storey block is better. Had a superb meal in the Dining Room and the adjacent lounge was beautifully furnished but no one else there, no music, no hear/fire. Just dead. Service and setting and garden all 5 star, rooms 3 star at best. Such a disappointment. Drinks esp wine very overpriced. Good location with restauarnts within walking distance.

Quinta da Casa Branca is a fabulous small hotel. Everything about our 7 days spent there in February was perfect. It is set in beautiful gardens full of specimen trees and plants from around the world, maintained by a squad of gardeners. You wouldn't know that outside the hotel walls is a busy city. All the staff were consistently helpful and friendly and everything is kept immaculately clean. The two restaurants serve very good food, one fine dining and the other less formal. There are also some good restaurants within a few minutes walk outside the gates. We stayed in one of the Manor House suites with numerous balconies on 3 sides overlooking the grounds. It was spacious, well equipped and very comfortable. The location is very good, a few minutes walk takes you down to the centre of Funchal.

Wonderful resort - immaculate and beautiful garden, looked after premises, spacious rooms, relaxing spa treatments, high quality restaurant, and, above all, friendly and helpful staff

The staff are wonderful and it's a beautiful and tranquil haven with brilliant breakfasts!
