Quinta Mirabela

"The hotel was beautiful, with great facilities, and extremely clean throughout. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful, particularly Emanuel in the restaurant, who made our stay in your hotel even better! The lady Chef Mrs Tania even took the time to make me a birthday cake, which was such a kind thing to do. We have stayed in many hotels throughout Europe, and Quinta Mirabela has definitely been one of our best ever experiences!"

"As literally a last minute booking, and not having visited Madeira before, we were pleasantly surprised to find this boutique 5* hotel at such an affordable price, with superb facilities including a restaurant serving outstanding food, along with a very relaxing spa and pool. What really made this hotel stand out though was the staff. Mr Paulo Franco and his team were both friendly and professional in equal measure, ensuring any issues were managed quickly and efficiently (including help with fixing a 'bump' on our rental car which saved a fortune in deposit fees). Along with the truly beautiful sites of Madeira, as a holiday experience this will be hard to beat!"

"A boutique hotel that gives off a warm glow: personable, helpful service from all the staff; with views that are breathtaking of Funchal and the ocean. Public spaces are tasteful and very relaxing. Bedroom very quiet, clean and comfortable. Breakfast wide ranging: cooked ingredients, pastries, fruit, yogurts, granola and all delicious. We went half board and looked forward each evening to dinner - great choice, excellent ingredients beautifully cooked and served. The spa facilities are excellent and complimentary. The 3 times a weekday complimentary shuttle service: outward 10.15, 14.15 and 17.15 and return (from the old town) 10.30, 14.30 and 17.30 mainly obviated the need for walking, buses or taxis. Local Bolt app and taxi service very reliable and modestly priced when needed to get to say Monte Palace Tropical Garden (which is a tough walk uphill or 2 buses), morning whale watching trip (with 10 am check in) or Reid's Palace for afternoon tea (a couple of miles away in the western suburbs). This hotel is a gem: perfect base for holiday in Madeira and thoroughly recommended."
