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.
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
very beautiful and nice place, well organized and with nice atmosphere and very welcoming hospitality. recommended!
We had an incredible stay! The location is great with a beautiful view. Perfect if you like a more quiet and calm environment. The personal and service was beyond our expectations, at a 5 star hotel level. We highly recommend.
Wonderful apartment, breathtaking views, great pool area. We are definitely going to visit this place again!
Tout était parfait
Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt. Die Unterkunft war sauber und super ausgestattet. Wir bekamen ein leckeres Lunch-Paket, da wir nicht am Frühstück teilnehmen konnten. Das gesamte Personal war zuvorkommend, aufmerksam und sehr nett! Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis war super. Zwar ist die Unterkunft nicht nähe Stadtzentrum, aber es gibt eine gute Busanbindung. Wir können es zu 100% weiterempfehlen. Vielen Dank :)
This is an incredible place to stay, the hospitality is brilliant, the views amazing and the apartment is very clean and spacious. We had a lovely welcome pack of Madeira wine, cake a fruit. The breakfast which you can have delivered to your apartment is like a high tea for breakfast, huge in portion and very hearty, colourful and delicious. The Monte Palace Gardens church and the toboggan rides are right on the doorstep and so is the cable car to the Botanical Gardens. We would have no hesitation in highly recommending this outstanding apartment
Wszystko git. Polecam. Dobrze skomunikowane z centrum Funchal, cicha spokojna okolica. Dobra restauracja na miejscu ����
Clean and cozy apartment located in a lovely area of Monte. This place has a great restaurant and amazing views. Staff was helpful and friendly, we really enjoyed staying there !
Adorámos a estadia passada, desde a localização, apartamento, alimentação e Staff. Certamente a repetir e a recomendar para quem deseja visitar a Madeira! Serviço 5*
All was great. The rooms, the quiet space, good to rest, great food, a spectacular breakfast. And the best staff ever, always giving their best to help us.
Les appartements Le personnel Les petits déjeuner L'emplacement
Die Gastgeber/das Servicepersonal, das Appartement und auch die komplette Anlage ist einfach grandios! Wir haben hier einen wunderschönen Urlaub verbracht; es wird auf jeden Wunsch eingegangen, das Frühstück war das beste, dass wir jemals in einem Hotel bekommen haben ! (serviert bekommt man direkt am Tisch: frisches Obst, Brötchen, frisch-gepressten Orangensaft, Käse/Schinken Mozzarella und selbst gebackenen Kuchen). Man bekommt auch die Möglichkeit einen Teil des Frühstücks mitzunehmen (falls es zu viel ist). Also alles in einem; wir waren absolut überrascht so eine tolle Unterkunft gefunden zu haben, alle Bilder stimmen überein, die Sauberkeit, die liebevolle Einrichtung und vor allem die Gastfreundlichkeit - wir kommen definitiv wieder :-) Danke für den tollen Aufenthalt!
Eine in jeglicher Hinsicht sehr außergewöhnlich schöne Unterkunft mit ausschließlich freundlichem und kompetentem Personal. Sehr leckeres Frühstück und anderweitige köstliche Verpflegungsmöglichkeiten.
Banana cake at breakfast was great, as was the breakfast as a whole! The room was great, always clean and bed was really comfy to sleep in. Flats are well equipped in the kitchen, bathroom modern and clean. They have private parking for the car. The staff at the hotel is really friendly and helpful all the time. You have some hiking trails behind the hotel (Pico Alto and one Levada). Funicular is very close and an easy way to get to city, but the bus leaving outside the hotel is cheaper.
The breakfast was really superb The food is an experiment. I'm so glad that I booked Babosas and not some fancy hotel in the city, as the climate of Monte region was so freshening after a busy day. The staffs of the hotel are amazing, Hugo is cool and very helpful. Being a solo traveler I was really looked after.
-vriendelijk personeel -heerlijk eten -super prijs/kwaliteit
La estancia ha sido inmejorable.....buena situacion, tranquilidad, habitacion confortable y limpia, buen desayuno, buen restaurante y personal atento, amable y profesional......no se puede pedir mas, volveremos.
Wir waren zu zweit für 11 Nächte von Mitte bis Ende Februar im Babosas Village und hatten einen großartigen Urlaub. Ausschlaggebend für unsere Wahl waren die bereits ausgzeichneten Bewertungen anderer Gäste, welche wir nur bestätigen können. Die Lage im ruhigen Monte oberhalb von Funchal, direkt neben den beiden Bergstationen der Seilbahnen sowie dem tropischen Garten und den Korbschlittenfahrern, war ideal, um einige der Top Sehenswürdigkeiten und Aktivitäten direkt vor der Haustür zu erleben. Unsere Ferienwohnung im Babosas Village war sehr neu und modern eingerichtet, mit Wohnküche (alles vorhanden), Schlafzimmer mit großem Bett und modernem Badezimmer mit begehbarer Regenwalddusche. Das gesamte Personal war von Beginn an überaus freundlich und hilfsbereit, half zum Beispiel beim Koffer tragen oder gab uns Tipps und Material für Wanderungen, so dass wir uns die ganze Zeit über wie zuhause fühlten. Selbst die Zimmer wurden jeden Tag gereinigt, Betten gemacht und Geschirr gespült, was über die inklusiven Leistungen hinausging. Wir hatten das Frühstück gebucht, das wir an sonnigen Morgen auf der Terrasse mit Blick aufs Meer eingenommen haben. Und da es so praktisch und lecker war, haben wir auch das Abendessen fast jeden Tag im Patio Restaurant (im selben Gebäude) genossen. Das Angebot ist sehr groß (selbst für uns als Fisch essende Vegetarier), die Qualität hervorragend, man fühlt sich wie im Sternerestaurant (es gibt auch einen gemütlichen Kamin), und das zu ausgesprochen günstigen Preisen. Wer wie wir nur zu Fuß oder mit dem öffentlichen Nahverkehr unterwegs ist, kann direkt vor dem Hotel den Bus nehmen, der auch spät abends noch fährt, oder bis zum frühen Abend die Seilbahn (allerdings recht teuer). Alternative wäre ein Taxi, um in die Stadt oder wieder zurück zu kommen. Geldautomaten oder Supermärkte haben wir in Monte nicht gefunden.
Sehr schönes und gepflegts Apartment, geschmaklich toll eingerichtet. Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und haben uns unglaublich wohl gefühlt. Das Frühstück wird im Restaurant oder auf der Terrasse serviert und ist vollkommen ausreichend. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig aber steil oberhalb von Funchal im Gebiet Monte gelegen, eine Busverbindung und Seilbahn sind vor der Haustüre vorhanden. Der Ausblick auf Funchsl und das Meer sind unglaublich schön. Wenn man sich ein Auto mietet wäre ein größerer Motor empfehlenswert, da die Steigungen bis zu 30 / 40% betragen. Wir waren rundum sehr zufrieden und würden sofort wieder kpmmen. Vielen herzlichen Dank an das gesamte Team!
Sehr gut, toller Blick über Funchal. Perfekt gelegen zwischen den Seilbahn-Stationen Funchal-Monte Monte-Botanischer Garten. Direkter Anschluss an einen Levada-Wanderweg.
Warm welcome, lovely staff, excellent food, comfortable apartment, high standard bedding and towels, complimentary wine and cake on arrival was a nice touch too.
Staff very helpful with everything we asked. Very friendly ,making you feel valued.
