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
Breakfast on the terrace was just amazing.
- The room was very large and clean with a small, well-equipped kitchen, a shared terrace as well as private balcony. - The location is excellent, in Monte, close to the cable car with a direct connection to Funchal's city centre (but 16 euros both ways). You may want to prefer bus 21 or 22 which depart next to the hotel and charge 1.95 euros for reaching the city centre in 10 to 15 minutes. It is also well located if you like hiking, since you are on the way from Funchal to the famous hike starting from Ariero and close to more local hiking routes. - The view from the balcony/terrace as well as from the restaurant is incredible. - The food! Try the local dishes and ask the staff if they would not have some squids or octopus (both highly recommended) hidden somewhere. They also serve a wide range of pizzas and pasta if you travel with children who prefer more 'conventional' dishes. - Breakfast is exceptional (tea or coffee, cheese, ham, a plate of fresh fruit, eggs, vegetables, toasts, a piece of cake, etc.) - The staff are very nice and do everything they can to find solutions and make you feel good. They even offered to drive me to Ariero for my day hike (30 minutes away by car) without charging me anything! - The value for money remains excellent. Prices are still very reasonable, considering the quality of service.
When I first arrived I was greeted by Hugo who was very nice and welcoming. Hugo greeted us with a drink which was a pleasant surprise. He then showed us the attached restaurant, Pátio das Babosas, which is also an amazing place. After he showed us to our apartment which overlooks downtown Funchal. With the amazing views and close proximity to the cable car, Monte Palace gardens, restaurant, and wicker basket toboggan ride, you couldn't ask for a better place to stay. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Madeira.
Amazing service, staff very friendly and always available to assist. Food quality is exceptional
Estava tudo excepcional. Foi a melhor surpresa da ilha da madeira. O espaço é fenomenal e o atendimento 5estrelas.
Adorei tudo, principalmente o atendimento !! Maravilhoso
Un vrai appartement dans un hôtel. Les chambres sont meublées avec beaucoup de goût, la propreté impeccable, la vue splendide, et l'emplacement, à la croisée des téléphériques, juste génial. Le petit-déjeuner sublime est servi en un tour de main sur la terrasse ensoleillée le matin, le restaurant est super et on peut se faire livrer en chambre si on ne veut pas cuisiner. La cuisine étant toutefois parfaitement équipée et fonctionnelle, une vraie cuisine, pas un "coin repas" prétexte comme on voit parfois. Les deux pièces sont aussi bien séparées, ce qui est appréciable avec un petit enfant pour continuer à vivre une fois qu'il est couché. Il y a plein de rangements dans ce qui est plutôt un dressing qu'un couloir. Et, surtout, un vrai service de palace : tout est parfaitement maîtrisé et ce sans en avoir l'air, dans la détente. Le matin, vous ne commandez rien, tout arrive, juste ce qu'il faut. Merci à toute l'équipe, Sonia, Ricardo, Joao, André, Hugo, Antonio, la femme de ménage qui chante d'une si belle voix :) et tous les autres dont les supers cuisiniers. Vous avez su répondre à toutes nos demandes (le joli lit bébé, le repas du 25, l'arrivée et le départ tardifs, etc.), et nous propulser dans la dimension de la détente et du repos, ce dont nous avions bien besoin ! Merci aussi pour toutes vos attentions et le magnifique panier que vous nous avez offert à Noël. Nous avons découvert l'île de Madère avec bonheur et apprécié de retrouver Monte le soir, avec ce calme dès le téléphérique fermé et après le dernier bus, et cette effervescence sympathique la journée dans ce joli village, ses carreiros, etc. Il n'y a pas de voiture dans la rue sur laquelle donne l'hôtel, ce qui est appréciable aussi avec un enfant.

Le petit déjeuner est très copieux et très varié (fruits frais, produits salés et sucrés). Les chambres sont vraiment confortables. La nuit, l'hôtel et son environnement sont très calmes. Le personnel est très à l'écoute des clients et toujours disponible pour conseiller ou rendre service.
We loved our stay at Babosas Village! We appreciated the quiet neighborhood and loved returing to Monte from our daily trips (rental car recommended). The staff is very friendly and the breakfast just fantastic. We hope to return to Madeira and Babosas Village!
Really nice little apartment, fully equipped with everything you need. We stayed for 5 nights, excellent customer care, great breakfast and very good restaurant where we dined each night. Got great service from all the staff- Sonia, Hugo, Andre, Antonio, Ricardo to name a few! Madeira is blessed nice people, calm and gorgeous views and nature. Took a 1 day trip to Porto Santo to enjoy crystal clear ocean and sandy beach.
Zimmer sehr schön
Everything. The room was modern, spacious, had a comfortable bed, a great shower and was very clean. The meals that we did eat in the restaurant were excellent and we think were good value for money. We liked the location, but some people may not realize how far Funchal center is from the property. That said the bus journeys up and down the hill into Funchal are not to be missed. Finally, a mention about ever single member of staff that we met during our week long stay, They really were the most friendly, helpful (nothing was too much trouble) group of people that we have ever met in any of the hotels/apartments that we have ever stayed in.
Sehr schönes Hotel, sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal, alles rundum perfekt. Sehr schöne Lage.
Service was uitstekend. Het restaurant serveert goed eten voor een mooie prijs. We hebben elke avond heerlijk gedineerd.
This inn is located near by the Funchal cable car, and walking distance from the botanic garden´s cable car. There is a bus stop near by as well. So, although it's a bit far from downtown Funchal, there are plenty transportation options, and easy as well. We didn't have any problems moving around... Besides that, is simply amazing waking up with that view! Nice rooms, with a little kitchen and living-room. Nice restaurant and breakfest services as well (not included).
We give Babosas Village this high rating because of the following. All the staff, Ricardo, Hugo, Andre, Sonia, the lovely cleaning woman and all the kitchen staff are SUPERB! They are true professionals and work very well together. Anyone would be happy to have such a great team working for them. The meals that we had in the restaurant were wonderful, both professionally prepared and presented. We decided to book a superior apartment, which was very modern and spacious and spotlessly clean. One of the best places I have ever stayed in.
excelent english breakfast view
Acomodações super confortáveis, novas e arrumadas. Pequeno apartamento com cozinha e sala, quarto e banheiro. Valeu muito a pena, melhor do que esperávamos. O monte é um pouco distante do centro, porém o Babosas fica muito perto do teleférico e de um ponto de onibus, além de possuir estacionamento.
L'accueil était parfait , le calme , la chambre de + 50 m2 était très moderne digne d'un 4 ou 5 *****, le restaurant patio était très raffiné et les prix entre 15et 25 € par personne . Le service petit déjeuner excellent et copieux et surtout servis en terrasse. Le personnel est d'un grand professionnalisme et au petit soin .
De mooie lichte, koele kamers. Het prachtige uitzicht.
Hemos pasado unos días de vacaciones en Babosas Village y volvemos como de un pequeño paraíso. El hotel ofrece vistas estupendas hacia el mar y montaña, pero además las habitaciones familiares son preciosas y muy confortables. Si hablamos de la cocina...no sé por donde empezar, je je, esos platos de variada fruta fresca, bollitos, mermeladas, jamón, bizcocho, té, café....vistas al mar...unos desayunos geniales, igual que las cenas; la cocina es estupenda ¡¡ Nos hemos sentido como en casa, con personas a las que les gusta su trabajo y eso no tiene precio. La situación del hotel, para nosotros ha sido excelente, ya que buscamos lugares tranquilos y próximos a montaña.
