킨타 자르딘 두 라고(Quinta Jardins do Lago)

if you are looking for a really nice place to stay in Funchal, then this is a staggeringly good hotel. The staff are amazingly nice and helpful, the food is excellent and chef creates lovely menus for each day and then there is the gardens and the tortoise (!) - utterly amazing. Far exceeded our expectations.

Beautiful Quinta , lush gardens and enchanting giant tortoise called Columbo,

This hotel is absolutely amazing. Since the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we felt like we were in heaven. The grounds, the pool, and the facilities are so well kept. The workers and staff are the kindest and friendliest that we have ever encountered. All in all a truly wonderful experience.

The staff were excellent and it was a really peaceful location. Would definitely stay again if in Funchal

The perfect place to stay for a relaxing holiday in this elegantly hotel, in the most stunning garden setting. The staff provide the best service I've ever experienced

Very special Quinta experience. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Everything we needed help to organise was dealt with efficiently. Early am taxi to depart was on the dot. Amazing botanical gardens with Tortoise! Gorgeous pool. Lovely temperature. Comfy room. Felt t like we got a taste of times gone by but with all the creature comforts of the present day. Excellent breakfast!

Superb in every way, I wish I could give it 6 stars instead of 5!

An excellent stay

Absolutely beautiful hotel, with extremely pleasant and helpful staff, and fantastic food. Breakfast outside is a highlight, as are the botanical gardens in which the hotel stands. Views are very pretty of Funchal and the nearby hills. Room was lovely and spotless. The delicious food and the drink are a bit pricey, but someone's got to pay for those lovely plants. Although it's only '17 minutes' walk to Funchal centre, you wont to walk as the roads are steep and not good for walking. The hotel shuttle bus is very good but there's no evening service. You're on your own in the evening, as there are no good restaurants nearby, unless you dine in. Swimming pool is lovely and food/drink available during the day at the pool. the one local bar is just round the corner and will serve drinks and simple food for a fraction of the hotel's price. Overall, a really great hotel.
