Great location for Funchal town centre and full of charm and character
Just a 10 minute walk from town, the Quinta da Penha, set in beautiful mature tropical gardens, is a real delight. Owned and managed by the Ribeiro family, the emphasis here is on something a little different.
The delightful main house has lounges furnished with antiques whilst the games room offers snooker/billiards and bridge. Mixing the old and the new works well here
The traditional charm and elegance of the original Quinta have been cleverly complemented by the addition of the garden wing and the sea level wing. The sea level wing, which has direct sea access, is connected to the original gardens by a foot-bridge over the road, here you will also find the diving centre.
In the original house there are no balconies but 4 rooms have a view across the gardens to the sea. The garden wing offers terraced balcony rooms some with side seaview, whilst all the sea level terrace or balconied rooms including junior suites overlook the pool to the sea. All rooms have TV, mini-bar and air-conditioning (except those in the original house). Single Occupancy rooms are available. Some years ago the hotel added 36 superior side sea view rooms overlooking the gardens and the pool, many of these inter-connect making them ideal for families. Reception is in this building.
A relaxing and informal atmosphere and early booking recommended
There are two sea water pools plus a children’s pool, both surrounded by ample sun terraces, the upper level pool is heatable. The two restaurants and two bars offer greater choice to guests with calm, efficient service throughout. Gala meals on 24 and 31 Dec are included in our prices.
Early booking is recommended at this charmingly individual four star hotel as many guest return year after year.
We include a private taxi transfer – approx. 20 minutes.
