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
I can't imagine a better place to stay in Funchal. Good and comfortable hotel not only for a vacation, but for business trips as well. My TV crew stayed at the Babosas village for 8 days and the team of the hotel made that stay as simple and easy as possible. Always helpful coworkers, that can give you useful tips about local life and safe roads to go to. Yes, the roads to the hotel are tricky if you are renting a car, but there are few roads to go up and down, so once you will discover them you will adapt to Madeira's roads, the quality of which is good without exaggeration. So rent a small car, if possible )) Also the bus is passing the hotel every hour and the price for a taxi or cable car are fordable. Pluses - amazing tasty breakfast that could make you feel eaten until evening. Clean big rooms with amazing views from balconies. Place is close to the cable car and the Tropical garden. Minuses - very tricky roads that may confuse you at the beginning.
Destaco em primeiro lugar a simpatia e o profissionalismo do staff, sempre prontos a ajudar, de modo a proporcionar o bem estar do cliente! A limpeza e o conforto do alojamento, muito bom! O pequeno almoço, do melhor em termos de qualidade, quantidade e variedade!!! superou todas as expectativas!! O meu muito obrigada a toda a equipa, por toda a disponibilidade e simpatia! Recomendo sem hesitar o alojamento
My husband and I recently returned from our trip to Madeira and had an exceptional experience at Babosa Village. Our original accommodations were cancelled due to COVID and we found this beautiful place on Expedia, and we could not have been more satisfied. This is a magical place up on the hillside with amazing views and great location near the cable car into the city. The room was beautiful and spacious with a full kitchen. The food in the restaurant was wonderful and some of the best we had anywhere on the island. Above all, the staff was the most welcoming, gracious and accommodating people we have ever had the pleasure of meeting while on vacation. I highly recommend this beautiful property and look forward to visiting again! If your looking for a quiet, small hotel nestled between the botanical gardens on the hillside, this place is ideal!
Everything was perfect: the room, the service, the location, the view. We have never had such good food before, especially the breakfast is a highlight! We can recommend Babosas Village 100% and will definetely come back.
Personnel au petit soin, appartement très propre et confortable, petit déjeuner et restauration de qualité
Extremely helpful staff, wonderful service, delicious breakfast :
Le calme, l'appartement simple et moderne. Le personnel, le petit déjeuner copieux, voire trop.
Beautiful location. Very friendly staff and so attentive. The food was delicious, fresh and plentiful. Lovely surprises presented at breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble. We had a later flight and were able to stay longer in our room with no fuss. Very relaxing.
Die Ruhe der Unterkunft, der grossartige, familiär zu bezeichnende Service, die Lage oberhalb von Funchal, ideal für Exkursionen ohne PKW. Die Küche ist absolut empfehlenswert!
La chaleur de l'accueil , la gentillesse et l'amabilité de tout le personnel, merci Ricardo, Sonia, Hugo... ; les petits-déjeuners en terrasse, la qualité du restaurant, la literie, l'espace , l'équipement.... Très bonne localisation pour visiter Monte et le Jardin Botanique via le téléphérique
Accueil, équipements, propreté des lieux, tout était parfait. Situation panoramique à côté du téléphérique du jardin botanique. Les petits déjeuner sont gargantuesques et le restaurant très bon. Le séjour fut parfait! Merci Norberta et toute l'équipe.
Das richtig einzige was uns ziemlich gestört hat, war die ununterbrochene immer gleiche "Fahrstuhlmusik" im Restaurant und auf der tollen Tarasse. Wenn man für mehrere Tage da ist, stört das. Wirklich schade!
The staff was really really nice and helpful. The apartment was brand new and well equipped. The breakfast is really good: fresh fruits, homemade cakes... Quiet place next to the Monte palace garden
Das Frühstück war super und das Personal sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Gute Busanbindung in die Stadt.
Sehr großes Apartment, sehr gut ausgestattet, wunderschöner Blick auf den Hafen. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Frühstück wird auf der Terrasse direkt am Tisch serviert, kein Frühstücksbuffet. Der Kaffee und der frisch gepresste Orangensaft einfach spitzenmäßig. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt.
Super schön ist die Luft oben am Berg, wenn es unten schwül und stickig ist. Man sollte ein guter Autofahrer sein, die Straßen sind eng und steil. Perfekt wäre ein Deal mit dem Seilbahnbetreiber für die Hotelgäste, um in die Stadt und zurück zu kommen, das gibt es leider noch nicht! Sehr nettes Personal und gutes Frühstück/Abendessen. Apartement ist gut eingerichtet, es ist alles da.
Sehr gutes Frühstück, sehr kompetentes und nettes Personal. Gute Lage in Monte. Sehr schöne Zimmer. Es hat uns insgesamt sehr gefallen.
We loved the staff - all the waiters and waitresses, the housmaid and the owners - marvelously smiling, friendly helpful and professional. The place is overlooking Funchal, but very quiet and easily accessible by public transportation.
Locatoe, appartement, restaurant, personeel. Heerlijk ontbijt
Nous avons apprécié le calme de l'établissement, sa situation géographique entre les deux téléphérique. Sa proximité des jardins botaniques. Funchal est facilement accessible en bus.(arrêt devant l'établissement ). Les petits déjeuners sont excellents et variés d'un jour à l'autre. L'ensemble du personnel est souriant, attentionné et disponible. Le restaurant est très bon. Notre chambre était très propre, récente, pourvu d'une kitchenette et d'une superbe vue sur Funchal....avec une immense terrasse. TOPISSIME.....
The staff were friendly, very capable, and couldn't have been more helpful. We enjoyed the few meals we had in the restaurant - the octopus was very good.
Clean, modern, comfortable apartments. Nice location with good views. Good breakfast sitting on the terrace in the morning sun. Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice restaurant. Plenty of private, off-street parking.
Környezet, személyzet, ellátás, tisztaság, hangulat, konyha: minden képzeletet felülmúl. Fantasztikus!
Excellent staff, most comfortable and great stay. Felt like at home! Break fast was very good, served with friendly approach . Good food and wine at A la carte restaurant . We had a great stay and will definitely go back again!
Sehr ruhige Gegend, ideal zur Erholung und guter Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen in der Natur oder Sightseeing in Monte. Geniale Busanbindung und zum Teleferico, sodass man in 20min im Zentrum von Funchal ist. Achtung: die Busfahrt gleicht einer Achterbahn ���� Wir brauchten keinen Mietwagen, angesichts der engen Straßen und Straßenführung auch besser, es sei denn man hat Vollkasko-Schutz. Das Frühstück und der Shuttle-Service zum Flughafen waren Premium (Auto+Fahrer)! Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit, bedanken uns sehr beim hilfsbereitem Team und würden wieder im Babosas Village buchen! Obregado, Obregado!
Hotel wurde 2017 sehr liebevoll und sehr geschmackvoll renoviert und hochwertig eingerichtet, an Bergstation der Seilbahn, tropischer Garten und botanischer Garten. Bus zum Stadtzentrum hält vor dem Hotel. Bodenebene Dusche, großzügige Ankleide mit Tressor, gemütliches Wohnzimmer mit hochwertiger, zweckmäßiger Küchenzeile, Schlafzimmer mit superbequemen Boxspring Matratzen. Zimmer haben Balkon oder Terrasse. Das Frühstück (knapp 6€ p.P.) lässt keine Wünsche offen: frisch gepresster Orangensaft, verschiedene Heißgetränke, diverse Brötchen, Marmeladen, Honig, Yoghurt, Eiervariationen, Wurst, Käse, selbstgebackener Kuchen und Obstteller mit wechselnden Früchten. Mittag-/ Abendessen kann sowohl im gemütlichen Restaurant, als auch auf der Terrasse mit herrlichem Blick auf Funchal und Hafen eingenommen werden. Erstklassige Qualität, liebevoll angerichtet, göttlicher Geschmack! Super Preis/Leistung. Das Personal ist überdurchschnittlich freundlich und erfüllt alle Wünsche :-)) wir fühlten uns sehr wohl und kommen gerne wieder!!
