Hotel Quinta da Serra

A very well managed hotel with excellent staff. Food was outstanding. We only spent one night there as we were on a hiking tour around the island but this place clearly stood out. Surely will come back!

Excellent hotel for cleanliness, kindness, food. Very helpful staff. The restaurant deserves a 5 rate indeed, I am coeliac and they took care of me! Gorgeous gardens and very pleasant swimming pool. We strongly recommend!!

I have just returned home having enjoyed a wonderful Christmas at this unique hotel. The situation and extensive gardens are truly stunning and the staff are highly professional and helpful. The food (I was on half board) was exquisite and the five course Christmas Eve dinner was a culinary tour de force. I returned to my room following a morning walk on Christmas Day to find three presents lying in wait: a madeiran molasses cake, a box of delectable biscuits and a bottled of the Quinta da Serra's delightful home-brewed cider, a lovely touch. The relative remoteness of the hotel may not suit all, but the hotel does provide an excellant shuttle service to Funchal and the 96 bus stop is right by the hotel if you fancy a trip to the beautiful fishing village of Camara de Lobos. I also took a short taxi ride to the Boca da Corrida viewpoint above the hotel with spectacular views over the Nuns Valley. The large indoor pool, jacuzzi and sauna are also superb. A memorable holiday! Julian White

I had a beautiful stay at Quinta da Serra. The staff is extremely friendly & professional. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the grounds are very well kept. I was impressed with the food, they have homemade yohgurt & kefir and the option to have tea that was grown in the garden. I would highly recommend Quinta da Serra to anyone who is a nature lover & wants a tranquil getaway.

One of the best hotels we’ve been to. The location is remote, but still only a 20 minute drive from the major city and stunning vistas. There is a beautiful garden where they grow some of the products that they serve for breakfast and dinner. Breakfast is amazing. Wide selection and also some a la carte egg dishes which are included in the price. Pool and spa is also nice and free to use. The rooms are spacious and clean. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Will definitely return here if we visit Madeira again.

Lovely hotel and gardens. Staying in January. No one in the hotel, no staff, no service , horribly depressing. Food! What can I say, if you want to experience strange combo, this is the place. If not run. I am 60 years old. Never wrote a review. But i though they was a first for any thing. PS Horribly expensive .

This is a Bio Hotel who pride themselves on exceptional service in spirit to our environment. They grow most of the food they serve. Loved the breakfast buffet which includes organic teas, fresh honey, homemade breads, and an assortment of other regional food. The hotel was clean and rooms were very big and comfortable. The pool was huge with a beautiful view of the mountains. The only issue is that the hotel is really out of the major areas of restaurants and shopping but as long as you plan to taxi, you'll be fine. The hotel staff were very friendly in offering local restaurants (besides the one in the hotel, which was very good). If you want to unplug, get away from city and work to become one with nature, then this is a great place

A lovely hotel in a magnificent garden. The new part has been skillfully blended with the original British Consul's residence. A bit of a steep drive to get there.|Upon arrival late at night, we were greeted by a receptionist who insisted that we settle the bill right away for the 2-night stay, although we had already paid for the first night a month ahead of our trip. Reluctantly, she accepted that we wait for check out.|Apart from this difficult beginning, the stay was pleasant, the dining room offered varied and copious breakfasts with a variety of exotic fruit juices, and the bedroom and bathroom were large and well maintained. The dinner at the hotel restaurant, which uses vegetables and fruit from their own organic gardens, was also pleasurable.
