This is a stunning, tranquil hotel with the best gardens I have ever seen at a hotel. The grounds are beautifully manicured with hundreds of varieties of flowers, shrubs, and trees. It's peaceful and quiet. The architectural design features gorgeous wood panelling, gold and brass finish, and glass features throughout to encapsulate the beautiful gardens.

The hotel reception team were prompt and welcoming. The staff was well dressed in uniforms and assisted with many hospitality services, including a lovely evening turn-down room service.

The two on-site restaurants offer fantastic food, some of the highest quality compared to other restaurants I experienced when exploring Funchal.

The two pools are outdoor and heated and have plenty of seating.

There is a gym, jacuzzi, sauna, and Turkish bath, but you need to ask them to heat the sauna for you in advance.

My only criticism is that the rooms have lovely mid-century furniture; however, some upholstery is now dated and needs refurbishing.

Overall, I had a 5/5 experience that reflects a 5-star hotel. I would recommend this hotel to others and return.

We stayed for a week, using the hotel as base for hiking,  we were looking for a relaxing stay and the hotel didn't disappoint.

Great service from every member of staff, we felt really well looked after.  In particular when we dined a couple of times at the restaurant and at the manor house we had excellent wine recommendations to pair with our chosen meal.

Food was really good on all counts, plentiful breakfast, a better than expected a la carte menu available throughout the day and a standout menu available in the manor house.

The gardens are incredibly relaxing, well kept and quiet which was what we were looking for.  Pools also heated and plenty of towels and at sun bed service available.

Gym also well equipped and had good a/c, was quiet every time we went.

Only slight negative was that rooms are perhaps looking a little dated, but very clean and very comfortable - I loved the garden view and access.

We will definitely stay again when we're back in Funchal.

We stayed at Quinta da Casa Branca for 8 nights in November 2024 for our honeymoon, and it was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed so warmly, with a lovely bottle of sparkling wine waiting in our room—such a thoughtful touch!

We were looking for a relaxing stay, and the hotel absolutely delivered. Every member of staff provided outstanding service, but a special mention must go to Gorete and Fabio, who made us feel so well looked after. We dined a couple of times at the hotel restaurant and enjoyed excellent meals each time. Although we didn’t manage to try the Manor House restaurant, the food was consistently top-notch, including room service on two occasions when we were too tired to head out.

Breakfast was a real highlight: a plentiful buffet paired with a better-than-expected à la carte menu featuring dishes like eggs Benedict and eggs Royale. And the cheese! Some days they served the most delicious cheese at breakfast—I regret not finding out what it was, but I hope future guests get to experience it too.

The gardens are a haven of tranquillity—beautifully maintained, peaceful, and exactly what we were looking for. Just a small tip: bring a good bug spray! I ended up with about 20 bites, while my husband only got two. Better safe than sorry!

The pools were a delight, with heated water and plenty of sun loungers, towels, and poolside service. The gym was also impressive: well-equipped, quiet, and with excellent air conditioning.

I’m not sure what other reviews are referring to when mentioning ‘dated’ rooms—ours was stunning and beautifully maintained. Plus, the hotel is centrally located, just a short walk to Funchal town centre. We highly recommend Cris’s Place and Taste of Madeira for fantastic dining options nearby.

We had such a memorable stay and will definitely return when we visit Funchal again—which I’m sure we will!

Muito obrigada
Saskia (and Patrick)

My wife and I had a phenomenal 3 night stay here. The service was top notch, arguably the best we have ever had. There was a minor leak in our room that we alerted the staff about and they were on it to address it and make amends. The 2 pools were great, the garden/property was lovely to walk around, and the comfort of the room was excellent. We had lunch at the restaurant and dinner at the manor and both were delicious. The breakfast served each morning had a wide variety of buffet foods and complimentary a la carte selections. Parking was the only large con as there are limited spots and there was one time where we had to move our car early in the morning because of the tandem parking situation. Our only regret was not having more time at the hotel because we had an early morning flight and the to go breakfast was way inferior to the included breakfast. Overall, would highly recommend this hotel and its staff.

The good:

- Loved the location - it was quiet and tucked away from the main town and the strip of hotels/shops
- Beautiful grounds
- Very nice relaxing, peaceful vibe with the garden patio
- Outdoor seating at the restaurants have a nice idyllic feel
- Service at the front desk was spectacular

The "not great, but not terrible":

- This is not a 5-star hotel by any means.  I would classify this more as a 3.5-4 star hotel. The rooms are very plain and don't feel luxurious, not even close
- Walls and doors are super thin to where I could hear anyone and everyone next door, in the hallways, etc. which disrupted my sleep
- No plug/USB outlet next to the bed
- They use small little containers of shampoo/soap/conditioner. I wish they were more sustainable by having the large refillable containers like so many other hotels have done
- Service at the restaurants was mediocre; felt short-staffed
- You have to bring your own towel to the pool; not a huge deal, but with this being a "5 star resort" I expected at least a stack of towels
- Food at restaurants was less than mediocre
- Not ADA friendly
