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
Não deixem que o caminho até ao alojamento vos assuste. De todos os hotéis em que já estivemos, este superou todos. A simpatia e dedicação dos funcionários faz-nos não querer sair desta acomodação, e o pequeno almoço é realmente excelente! Quando voltarmos à Madeira, queremos voltar ao babosas Village!
Excelente servicio, personal super amable. Alejado de la ciudad pero con todas las facilidades para llegar a ella (funicular, bus, coche, moto)
Professionelle Betreuung durch den Betreiber!
Sehr freundliches und herzliches Personal, herausragendes Frühstück, sehr schöne und saubere Zimmer
Staff super simpático, sempre disponível para ajudar Pequeno almoço variado e excelente
Séjour fabuleux ! L'emplacement, le logement et la qualité du restaurant, tout était parfait
Sehr schöne Lage über Funchal. Nur über sehr steile Strassen erreichbar. Toller Blick von der Terrasse. Räumlichkeiten (lediglich 9 Zimmer im Hotel) sehr sauber und schön. Tolles Essen, toller Service, aber am beeindruckendsten war die Freundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft des gesamten Personals! Wirklich ungewöhnlich!
Gostei de TUDO! Funcionários excelentes, Obrigada ANTÔNIO,
RICARDO, ANDRÉ e SÔNIA. Vocês são sensacionais. O hotel é tudo de
bom, café da manhã MUITO gostoso,variado e farto. A comida do
restaurante do hotel SOBERBA. ADOREI. Essa estadia vai se tornar
inesquecível. Roupas de cama, toalhas tudo de excelente qualidade.
Os miminhos deixados no nosso quarto com produtos regionais, nos
surpreenderam. Ficamos sete noites, uma melhor que a outra. Só
jantamos no hotel. Recomendo com louvor.
Eu gostei de tudo. Estadia maravilhosa.
Das liebevoll frisch zubereitete Frühstück mit feinen Köstlichkeiten auf der Terrasse mit Blick auf den Atlantik war eine fantastische Einstimmung auf einen wunderbaren Urlaubstag. Auch am Abend wurde man herzlich und zuvorkommend mit feinen Speisen verwöhnt und konnte den Tag in den bequemen Korbsesseln ausklingen lassen bei einem Gläschen Madeira...
Foi sem dúvida o lugar onde fomos melhor recebidos de sempre. O espaço era agradavél, calmo, muito limpo, com excelente gosto, mas a simpatia e disponibilidade dos colaboradores foi a cereja no topo do bolo, sentimos que faziamos parte da família. Os quartos são muito limpos, espaçosos, luminosos e com todas as comodidades necessárias. O restaurante é excelente, tanto para o pequeno-almoço como para almoços e jantares.
Si vous venez à Madere n'hésitez pas à réserver dans ce charmant établissement, il a été au dessus de mes espérances, un personnel incroyablement gentil et au soin, la chambre ( appartement) était parfaite, nous espérons avoir été des clients à la hauteur de leur accueil.
Um dos melhores pequenos almoços que já comemos. Todos os funcionários eram extremamente simpáticos e atenciosos. No dia da nossa chegada devido às restrições e a uma alteração no voo não tínhamos onde jantar, falamos antecipadamente com o hotel e fizeram o favor de nos deixar uma maravilhosa mesa posta no quarto com o jantar. Numa das outras noites o restaurante abriu de propósito só para jantarmos (a comida estava incrível). E no dia da partida como o voo era muito cedo e não conseguíamos tomar o pequeno almoço ainda nos foram deixar um saco ao final do dia com um género de piquenique para tomarmos o pequeno almoço de manhã. Adorámos e vamos com certeza voltar.
Das beste Frühstück was ich je in einem Hotel hatte. Frisch, abwechslungsreich und toll abgerichtet. Ich war aus Bequemlichkeit auch am ersten Abend dort essen - und war so begeistert, dass ich beinahe jeden Abend meiner zwei Wochen wieder her kam. Absolut spitze!
Excelent place with great staff. Very clean and nice rooms! Amazing breakfast.
Supperb breakfast. Excelent cuisine. Small boutique hotel with a wonderfull home feeling! unique attention from the employees that are oriented to exceed your own expectations. One of the best hotels i've ever been!! You feel really nourished, wanting to come back at the end of a beautiful and tiring day visiting all the places... I really hope to come back.
Abseits des Trubels, dennoch gut angebunden. Personal sehr freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Es blieben keine Wünsche offen. Wirklich gutes Frühstück. Das Beste bisher. Auch sonst gute Küche. W-Lan ohne Gebühr.
Desde da recepção, limpeza, pequenos almoços, foi tudo excepcional. Irei com toda a certeza recomendar a amigos e familiares.
Naprosto perfektní ����
Tolles hotel, familiär geführt mit sehr freundlichem personal. Das reichhaltige frühstück auf der terrasse mit herrlichem blick hinunter auf funchal und das meer ein traum. Ideale lage direkt neben gondelbahn station nach funchal. Auch bus station direkt vor dem hotel. Ruhige lage. Babosas Village ist ein geheimtipp, ich würde jederzeit wieder in diesem hotel buchen.
- świetna obsługa przykładająca się do każdego małego szczegółu, aby pobyt był niezapomniany - wszelkie standardy związane z COVID były zachowane - darmowy parking, posiłki do pokoju, wszelkie udogodnienia na prośbę - FENOMENALNE śniadania
Das Personal war überaus nett und zuvorkommend. Gastfreundschaft wird in diesem Hotel groß geschrieben! Das Frühstück war sensationell!!
Pequeno-almoço excepcional, vista maravilhosa. Staff extremante simpaticos. Optima limpeza.
Die Unterkunft hat unsere Erwartungen in jeglicher Hinsicht übertroffen. Das Hotel ist sehr gepflegt, das Zimmer ist ausgesprochen geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend - wir haben uns sehr sehr wohl gefühlt und würden jederzeit wieder dort Urlaub machen. Das Frühstück konnten wir jeden Morgen auf der tollen Terrasse genießen - es hat ausgezeichnet geschmeckt. Auch das Essen im Restaurant war hervorragend. Vielen Dank an Ricardo und Sonia sowie das ganze Team.
We spent a week at this place couple of weeks ago and couldn't be more satisfied! The location of this place is great - it offers amazing view over the city from the restaurant terrace, it is calm in the evening, very close to tropical garden or carreiros do Monte and if you plan to visit some levadas or mountains in the centre of the island it is quite close by car and also by bus. On top of that, staff was really friendly and helpful - they also helped us with car rental, we just agreed on days and had a car ready in front of the hotel in the morning and on the day of return we just handed the keys to the hotel staff during breakfast - super convenient. We even received couple of useful information by email before our stay which was a nice touch. The breakfast was absolutely fantastic as well,very tasty and everyday we even received something extra (porridge, pancakes, cake etc.). We even received some packed breakfast to our room on our last day as we were leaving earlier in the morning. Generally speaking, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone planing on visiting Madeira. We felt taken care of from the minute we arrived. Thank you!
El trato del personal antes y durante. EXCELENTE. Gracias a todos.
The breakfast and also the other food in the hotel restaurant are absolutely fantastic. In addition, there is the fantastic view from the restaurant terrace towards the sea. The rooms are very well maintained and I slept as comfortably as at home. Last but not least, all hotel employees were very friendly and courteous. I'd love to come back again!
Super Zimmer, tolle Lage....megaaa Frühstück mit frischem Obst, hausgemachter Marmelade, hausgemachtem Kuchen, Brot, Joghurt.....super Kaffee....alles TOP!!! Nur zu empfehlen! Sehr freundliches Personal....mega!
Fantastic accomodation, good bed and with an amazing view. Great hospitality and more than friendly staff. The breakfast was different every morning with delicious food, fresh juice, good coffee and even champagne on Sunday. We stayed here for a week and we didn't want to go home. If we ever go back to Madeira there is no doubt which hotel we will book.
Wir können die Unterkunft vor allem wegen des wirklich sehr freundlichen Personals empfehlen. Wir hatten ein kleines DZ, welches wirklich ein wenig klein, aber sehr schön war. Zur Begrüßung gabs auf dem Zimmer einen Obstkorb, Madeirawein, Wasser, kleine Kuchen und Honig. Top! Frühstück wurde an dem Platz gebracht und bestand aus Obst , Schinken, Käse, Joghurt und Marmelade, Brötchen /Toast, Kaffee nach Wunsch, Eierspeisen kosten Aufpreis. Wer dort nächtigt, sollte abends auf jeden Fall dort essen. Die Speisen sind sehr lecker und toll angerichtet. Großes Lob auch nochmal an das Personal. Alle waren wirklich super nett. Man muss sich im Klaren sein, dass das Hotel in Monte liegt, man also mit dem Mietwagen immer wieder die engen Straßen hoch muss.
Perfect location on top of funchal with two cable cars and no. 22 bus stop close by. Friendly staff and great food in the restaurant.
Incredibly kind and helpful staff, beautiful view, amazing breakfast and food, champagne for the first morning and champagne on Sundays :) Simply loved everything, hope one day we can return and enjoy that amazing place again.
exceptional service- hugo and sonia and all the team deliver first class service and first class food. Coupled with the fantastic facilities and spectacular location, this is instantly up there as one of my favourite hotels, even compared to 200 a night establishments....
