The village of Monte, high above the Funchal hills, has long been
a favourite for wealthy Madeirans. It was the choice for the first
(and only) funicular railway in Madeira, and now for the cable car
from Funchal and the famous toboggans. It's lush vegetation,
character streets, world renown gardens and timeless old world
Quintas makes it appealing to those seeking a more relaxed and
slower paced holiday.
With a population of over 150,000, Funchal is not only the
capital, but also the 'heart' of Madeira and home to many of the
islanders. This makes it a busy, chic, cosmopolitan and fun city,
full of shops, shopping centres, bars, cafés and a great variety of
restaurants and entertainment; a vibrant, cosmopolitan town where
historic splendour and breath-taking natural beauty combine with a
thoroughly modern atmosphere. It also boasts a colourful covered
market, numerous stately old buildings, including an imposing
cathedral and a lovely theatre. The city has grown over the years,
ascending higher and higher up the mountainsides, resulting in a
beautiful display of sparkling white buildings by day and a myriad
of glittering lights at night.
Madeira
Some seven hundred kilometres west of the African coast,
Madeira is a stunning mountainous emerald island, lapped by the
warm waters of the Gulf Stream. The first island to be discovered
by the Portuguese navigators in 1419, Madeira became an important
resting place on the long trip to the new world. From these humble
beginnings, the holiday trade was formed and this spectacular
island, which used to be the favourite place of the rich and
famous, is now the preferred choice of all sorts of visitors, from
those seeking year-round warm temperatures to nature lovers and
sightseers, sports and active enthusiasts of all ages. Culture,
history, stunning nature, a myriad of sea and land activities,
added to a great foodie scene means Madeira has something for
everyone. No matter where you go on the island you are rewarded by
fabulous scenery, tiny villages and friendly people. With a
population of over 100,000, Funchal is not only the capital, but
also the 'heart' of Madeira and home to many of the islanders. This
makes it a busy, chic, cosmopolitan and fun city, full of shops,
shopping centres, bars, cafés and a great variety of restaurants
and entertainment; a vibrant, cosmopolitan town where historic
splendour and breath-taking natural beauty combine with a
thoroughly modern atmosphere.

Reviews
I spend a lovely weekend at the beautiful house. There is no better place for a hideaway in Funchal. I loved every minute!
Accueil chaleureux,grande disponibilité du personnel et sa bonne humeur et souplesse de fonctionnement petits déjeuners très copieux ,beaucoup de choix. Repas de qualité et copieux pris sur terrasse avec vue sur Funchal
Pulizia, servizio , accoglienza, cibo
Beautiful apartment with a view, peaceful location, good bus connection and slightly cooler than down in the center.
Super Lage, super Frühstück. Wenn etwas nicht ganz passt, ist das Personal sofort um Behebung bemüht. Sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Skvělý a ochotný personál, skvělé snídaně, útulný a prostorný pokoj, skvělá restaurace. Úžasný výhled na Funchal při každé snídani na terase.
Adorei o atendimento e o cuidado com que fomos recebidos. Hotel ao nível dos melhores.
Apreciamos tudo sem exceção. Infraestrutura moderna, com todas
as comodidades, confortável e decorada com bom gosto. Limpeza e
regras de segurança, higiene e saúde cumpridas à risca. Ambiente
tranquilo, serviço eficiente e afável. Pequeno-almoço digno dum
hotel 5 estrelas. Presente de boas vindas (flores, água, fruta,
bolo, mel). Kit COVID-19 (lenços de papel, máscaras e álcool).
Piquenique para levar em substituição do pequeno-almoço no dia da
partida (voo cedo). Boa relação qualidade-preço.
Nota 10. Agradecemos toda a amabilidade que, por momentos, nos
fizeram esquecer este tempo "estranho" que atravessamos.
Serviço e comida com qualidade semelhante a hotéis de 5* Limpeza, simpatia dos funcionários e pequeno almoço personalizado e variado são os pontos fortes do alojamentos.
The garden apartment was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The breakfast was incredible with fresh fruit, traditional cooked items and fresh cake. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The dinners in the restaurant were very high quality. It is an exceptional place to stay!
Stunning views. Perfect stay. Lovely accommodation Simply the best
Todo...tanto el alojamiento, como el restaurante, el personal, la limpieza...todo perfecto, igual que la primera vez que estuvimos alli
Tout était parfait: environnement calme et bien situé, la vue est magnifique. L'appartement est très grand, confortable, bien équipé, extrêmement propre et joliment décoré. Le personnel est d'une extrême gentillesse. Le petit déjeuné est gargantuesque et le restaurant est excellent.
Excellent staff, service and the accommodation. And particular Sonia who looked after me really well throughout my stay a big thank you . Breakfast was plenty and fresh. In the room a nice welcome basket, hand gel tissues and a mask. Since the room had cooking utilities, fridge etc was super clean. Peaceful surroundings, and the food served from the restaurant is also good. And the property, value for money without question. Also as a solo traveller I managed to use the buses around the island without a car, as property is quite isolated as I already knew this before booking. So maybe get yourself a giro card as cheaper than individual fares.
Mnóstwo plusów: - niesamowity personel: doskonały kontakt:) - wysoki standard apartamentu - przepyszne jedzenie - lokalizacja - widok - cisza
The apartment was amazing and breakfast was really good and rich! The staff is so kind, nice and helpful! Really recommended!!!
Het personeel was echt fantastisch. We hebben nog nooit meegemaakt dat mensen zo behulpzaam en vriendelijk waren. Bij alle vragen hebben ze ons erg goed geholpen. Het hotel is niet heel groot, en daardoor was het persoonlijk. Ook waren we heel blij met het lekkere uitgebreide ontbijt met vers fruit en dagelijks een ander gerecht erbij. Het restaurant heeft goed eten met verse groenten, de kok was ook bereid iets te maken wat niet op de kaart stond. De locatie is wel in Funchal, maar op de berg en niet in het drukkere centrum. Dichtbij heb je wandelroutes en parken, de kabelbaan en de bushalte is ook voor de deur. Persoonlijk vond ik de wegen te steil en eng om te rijden, daardoor hadden we geen auto gehuurd. Wij hebben ons prima vermaakt door het boeken van tours met pickup en door gebruik te maken van de bus. Hiermee kom je ook een heel eind!
Nous avions loué pour 7 jours fin janvier. Surprise, ce n'est pas une chambre mais un appartement superbement décoré avec cuisine équipée, salon, grande chambre, etc... Merci à toute l'équipe, Sonia, Ricardo, João, Hugo ,André, Antonio, la femme de ménage (madame Hugo) et tous les autres dont les supers cuisiniers Alexandre etc... Nous avions loué une voiture pour 7 jours ,plus libre que de prendre le téléphérique ou le bus. L'accès est un peu épique mais avec les jours on s'y habitue (montées raides à Monte) Nous avons été très gâtés par le personnel pour nos anniversaires respectifs avec surprise sur la table de l' appartement ,le soir ,de retour de nos nombreuses visites sur cette île paradisiaque : fruits et bulles pour l' occasion ! Sonia et son équipe sont à l image de cette île : chaleureuse et magnifique . Encore un grand merci pour ce bel accueil . Info : Avec le GPS ne pas mettre l'adresse de l'hôtel mais "caminho da lombada" ou suivre la ligne de bus n°22 (car la rue "largo das babosas" du téléphérique à l'hôtel n'est pas accessible en voiture). L'entrée du parking se situe caminho da lombada un peu avant le terminus du bus..
We were an elderly couple who dont like the hotel area at seaside but prefer the historic paths and parks of Monte. The hotel is next to the cable car station, also close to the bus station. Bus down to the center of Funchal costs about 2€. Breakfast was extraordinarly good with a lot of fruit. Other meals we made ourselves, and the kitchen of the cozy hotel room was well equipped. When we wanted to have a guided levada walk, the tour operator fetched us from Monte. The friendly staff helped us in all possible questions. The hotel is newly totally renovated and very clean.
De kamers waren geweldig, het ontbijt was super, veel keus, erg leuk opgediend, en ook erg vriendelijk personeel. Wij hebben elke avond heerlijk gegeten in het restaurant Ook heel vriendelijk personeel. De locatie ook fantastisch, lekker dichtbij de gondels, die je naar beneden en weer naar boven brengen. Kortom wij vonden Basbosas Village echt top.����������������J
Das reichhaltige und leckere Frühstück wird auf Wunsch auf der Terrasse serviert. Die Lage neben der Bergstation der Seilbahn ist ideal, insbesondere wenn man es schätzt, gegen Abend die sengend heisse, übertouristisierte Stadt Funchal gegen einen etwas kühleren und ruhigeren Ort auf 550 m.ü.M. auszutauschen. Das Personal ist reizend und überaus hilfsbereit.
Le personnel est à l'écoute, gentil et aux petits soins. L'appartement est spacieux, très propre, entièrement neuf et parfaitement équipé. Super rapport qualité/prix. Nous avons apprécié le calme de l'endroit. Si nous revenons à Madère, nous relogerons à Babosas Village Funchal sans aucune hésitation. A recommander ! NB : je recommande une voiture malgré la « difficulté » de conduite jusqu'à Monte (très raide et énormément de virages). Grand parking gratuit à disposition : gros point positif car plus bas à Funchal ou autres villages prisés, tout est principalement payant...
Very nice, spacious one bedroom apartment. Very clean and well equipped. The staff was very polite and helpful. Breakfast was good and they even made small changes everyday so we didn't have the same thing every day. It's really good they have the restaurant and you don't have to drive all the way down to Funchal to get a bite as the hotel is on top of a hill (as is everything in Madeira).
Tout était parfait, le personnel, les chambres, le petit-déjeuner excellent - Je recommande un véhicule même si il y a des bus -
Todo perfecto , limpio, agradable y el personal increíble, muy recomendable
Wir können uns den bisherigen positiven Bewertungen nur anschließen. Wir waren 9 Nächte vor Ort. Zimmer und Aussicht auf Funchal sind wie auf den Bildern zu sehen. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir haben an 4 Abenden verschiedene Gerichte über Fisch und Fleisch bis Pizza und Pasta im hauseigenen Restaurant gegessen... alles sehr lecker. Bisher das beste Hotel, dass wir je im Urlaub hatten.
Hotel entièrement et récemment restauré, très confortable, très calme, spacieux, bien desservi (bus, téléphérique) mais voiture préférable (parking facile dans l'enceinte de l'hôtel) Bon petit déjeuner (fameux jus d'orange!) et excellent restaurant où nous avons dîné 5 soirs sur 7 passés dans cet hôtel. Possibilité de take away pour les ballades. Personnel accueillant, disponible parlant français.
Das Frühstück war sehr sehr lecker, täglich frisches Obst, frisch gepresser Orangensaft, der Ausblick von der Frühstücksterrasse bombastisch schön. Das Bett war zwar bequem, die Matratze allerdings leicht zu fest/hart. Leider fehlte eine Badewanne, und da das Hotel keinen Swimmingpool besitzt, war die Entspannung nach harten Wanderungen nicht ganz optimal.
