Amazing Hotel
We have just returned from our first trip to Madeira and the Quinta da Casa Branca , it is a lovely hotel set in beautiful grounds. The staff were very helpful and nothing was to much trouble. Our room was clean and spacious . We looked forward to our breakfast which was well presented and varied from day to day. We will definitely be returning.

Our sixth stay in ten years - heaven!
We just had our sixth holiday at the wonderful hotel on Madeira. Thhe staff are fantastic and ensure a relaxed holiday for all. The hotel is an oasis and a 30 minute walk from central Funchal. It's a great place to relax and unwind and also a great location from which to explore the rest of the island. Bus transport is excellent and provides an option to renting a car or taking a taxi. The hotel places emphasis on wellbeing and has a spa and pools as well as options for massage and other therapies. Restaurants in the hotel include and informal terrace as well as a Michelin starred restaurant. There are plenty of local resaurants where locals eat so don't be afraid to try out their authentic dishes. We may well be drawn back again in the future - I hope so.

A piece of heaven on earth.
Amazing, fantastic, superb in every respect. Staff wonderful. Food and service excellent.
A wonderful experience!
A wonderful stay! The staff were very friendly and helpful, the rooms clean and comfortable. The grounds of the hotel are beautifully kept and the exotic trees and plants clearly labeled. The swimming pool was well kept and very welcome in the warm weather. The food in the restaurant was delicious and very varied. A highly recommended hotel!
Nice - much better than huge high rise concrete hotels visible everywhere!
The gardens are beautiful and the hotel feels like an oasis within busy Funchal. Service was excellent and we enjoyed our stay. However, because Funchal is so busy/crowded the property is surrounded by roads, and traffic noise was more noticeable than we expected for a hotel marketed as a peaceful retreat. Indeed the sound of roadworks and building nearby was noticeable. It's also funny that access to the Quinta is from the northwest (guests can't even use the drive of the old house) which is the "wrong side" for the City centre, so there's a fair bit of walking up and down hills.
The hotel’s Green Key credentials and beautiful gardens are impressive, but some of the sustainability practices were inconsistent during our stay. The bathroom notices asked guests to leave towels in the bath only if they wished them to be replaced, yet towels and flannels left hanging were frequently changed anyway. We also saw no obvious provision for guest recycling or waste separation. Neither issue spoiled an otherwise enjoyable stay, but they did seem at odds with the environmental messaging.
Odd too that the bells to call for refreshments at the pool were intermittent at best.
