Quinta da Casa Branca

We came here for 10 nights to celebrate my husbands 60th and it couldn't have been more perfect! We loved this hotel, what a wonderful, tranquil place in the centre of Funchal. The gardens are a delight and a real haven for birds and butterflies, the gardeners do a wonderful job and you feel you can breathe in this hotel. The hotel itself is delightful, with first class staff, and food and two delightful pools. We dined half board every night in the Manor House, and what a treat it was. The food was amazing and some reasonably priced wines which is not often the case in such establishments. Breakfast on the outside terrace is lovely, with a buffet of pretty much all you can think of, as well a cooked options, such as eggs benedict, omelette, pancakes etc. They do a lovely assortment of lunch options too! We opted for a premium room and so glad we did, room was huge, with a large bathroom and a daybed and chair on the balcony, if you can afford the splurge,then consider one of these. Yes, in fairness the rooms are a tad dated, but that didn't detract for us as it was impeccably clean and we both said that should we visit Madeira again this would be our first choice of hotel, no question. Also a big thank you to the staff for making our holiday so special and working so hard to make this hotel so unique

We stayed in the QdCB for one week in June and really enjoyed our time here. We liked the stylish design of the hotel with its lovely and well maintained gardens. Although the road outside the hotel could be busy at certain times of the day, we were not aware of road noise in the hotel grounds. Our ground floor room in the garden block was spacious and had two reclining beds on the patio facing the garden. The beds in the room are very comfortable. The only minor criticism is that the bath/shower combination is very narrow and possibly in need of updating. Breakfast (either on the terrace or inside) was a highlight. Lots of fresh fruit, cakes and pastries, breads, cheeses and meats to choose from, plus hot food that could be ordered. The breakfast team were very helpful and friendly. It was lovely to sit outside looking over the grounds to the hills above Funchal. We made use of the small gym, sauna and jacuzzi which were empty most of the time we were there. Hotel staff are excellent and very helpful. From the reception team to those who maintained the rooms and gardens everyone did a great job. The hotel is on the west side of Funchal and uphill from the waterfront. We walked into Funchal several times and also ran down to the waterfront and along the pedestrianised areas. The hills make for a good workout. We would happily return for another stay…

We stayed at the Quinta for the fourth time. That tells you something about how we rate it. This occasion was our golden wedding and we stayed in a suite in the Manor House. The staff in this hotel are warm and welcoming and create the perfect holiday setting. This year we decided not to rent a car but to make more use of the Quinta's facilities than we had previously. The gardens are an absolute delight at any time of the year and the pool is so relaxing. The service is second to none and the restaurants are outstanding. You can have anything from a Wagu burger to a Michelin Star meal. The breakfact buffet is heaven and served in the Pavillion restaurant. We hope to be able to visit the island again and to savour the wonderful welcome that it provides. You can walk into Funchal in 20 minutes or stroll down the Lido and along the waterfront. There are many first class restaurants in the area.

Excellent hotel set in beautifully tended grounds complete with a banana plantation and many varieties of exotic trees. Stayed in a huge 2 storey suite in the Manor House with its own entrance, including a drawing room! Luxury. Hotel arranged a superb morning event guided by the gardening staff to demonstrate and participate in the banana plantation irrigation process. Followed by a poncha toast and some local exotic fruit sampling. Highlight of the week. Thank you.

Top marks for the staff, the food, the accommodation (we had a huge suite in the enormous, opulent but under-used Manor House), and the fabulous gardens/arboretum/banana plantation. (If you’re not interested in exotic trees beforehand, you will be by the time you leave!)

Quinta da Casa Branca is a dream hotel, with a great location and superb services. We based our stay in Madeira there and traveled to the island from Casa Branca. We took a romantic package which included boat trips, a full dinner, and massages. The staff was quite responsive and cordial. We recommend this place without reservations.

Our second visit to this exceptional hotel. Nestled in the hills in Funchal this place is an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. We were thrilled to stay in the Pool Villa which is beautiful. The restaurant in the main bar is friendly and serves stunning food. The gourmet restaurant in the main Villa offers an exceptional evening under the stars. The staff throughout the hotel are friendly and knowledgeable - and are a delight to be with. We can’t wait to come back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had the most wonderful time at the Quinta Casa da Branca. The staff were truly amazing, ensuring that our every need was met. As this was my 25th Wedding Anniversary present from my husband, he chose a truly special hotel. We will be returning.

We returned home from this hotel 5 days ago and are missing it already. From the minute we checked in with the lovely ladies on reception to the final checkout we were treated like a lord and lady of the manor. The grounds are spectacular and we could spend most days just lounging and glorying in the splendour of the view from our terrace or walking round this former banana plantation marvelling at the plants, trees and insects. For those of you who need to be entertained every day and night, this hotel is not for you but the peaceful surroundings suited us down to a tee. The pool area is small but lovely and my wife loved swimming in the moderately sized pool. We could not single out any member of staff for praise. The Reception staff were wonderful and helpful, the housekeepers were super-efficient and could not have been more accommodating and the restaurant staff went out of their way to see to our requirements for eating. The room was comfortable with fantastic air conditioning. tea, coffee, water and toiletries provided and so peaceful, especially at night where other hotels have music blaring until midnight. We stayed on half board basis and the food in the restaurant was fine-dining standard. We did not have even a mediocre meal whilst we were there. The staff remembered our drinks order every night and every morning and even made a cake for my birthday which took place whilst we were staying there. Funchal is very hilly and there are some steep hills around the hotel but that did not prevent us from venturing out several times during our stay and walking into the centre of Funchal (about 20 minutes walk). You can always get a taxi on the way back if you can't face the hill. We have been to many hotels around the world over the years but I can honestly say that this is one of the best, if not the best that we have stayed in and we cannot wait to return. we are already looking at prices for next year. Thank you to the staff at Quinta Casa da Branca and we hope to see you next year.
