I had a great month at this hotel featuring beautifully maintained gardens and a charming traditional style that really set it apart. The dining options, especially at breakfast, were fantastic with plenty of variety, though I did find the Wi-Fi connectivity disappointing. The staff were mostly welcoming and attentive, and I enjoyed the large room with an amazing view, but the reception team could be a bit aloof. Overall, it was a lovely experience in a beautiful location.

We enjoyed a lovely ten-day stay at the hotel, relishing the tranquil gardens and comfortable rooms. The breakfast was fabulous, and the location was ideal for exploring nearby shops and Funchal.
