Quintinha São João Hotel & Spa
What an absolute gem! This hotel truly feels like a hidden paradise in Funchal. With just 42 rooms, it offers a personal touch without sacrificing comfort. Our room was spacious and inviting—featuring a plush bed, cozy sofa, writing desk, and a private balcony overlooking lush gardens. We were greeted with thoughtful touches: a fridge stocked with refreshments and fresh bottled water replenished daily. Breakfast and dinner were exceptional—varied, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. The bar was a highlight too, offering small plates and tapas all day long, plus fun experiences like a Poncha cocktail workshop and a gin tasting session that added real charm to our stay. But what truly sets this place apart are the staff—every single one of them goes above and beyond. The front desk team was incredibly helpful, sharing local tips, restaurant recommendations, and even bus schedules. Restaurant staff, though busy, always had a smile and a friendly chat. The bartenders made cocktails with care and personality. Even the housekeeping team stood out—our room was immaculate every day, and the entire property looked pristine, from the pools to the garden paths. Both the indoor and outdoor pools were clean, well-maintained, and inviting—the indoor one especially warm and relaxing. After staying at many wonderful hotels worldwide, this one easily stands out as the best experience so far. I can’t recommend it enough. If I ever return to Madeira, this will be my first choice.

Plus, it’s only a 10-minute walk to the city center—perfect for exploring on foot. The room was spacious, clean, and quiet, offering a peaceful retreat after a day out.

Staying at Alojamento Local Trigal in Funchal was an absolute delight from start to finish.

Jose, our host, went above and beyond: he helped with parking arrangements, introduced us to a fantastic car rental service, and even arranged airport transfers.

Just steps away, there’s a lively pedestrian street packed with restaurants, so dining out was never an issue. The beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable, making for restful nights. Best of all? The price was outstanding for such a well-located, thoughtfully managed stay. The only minor downside is that the building isn’t very soundproof—on a couple of occasions, we were woken up by the noise of keys turning in locks or doors slamming shut. But honestly, that didn’t detract much from the overall experience. If you want a hassle-free, authentic stay in Funchal with great hospitality and unbeatable convenience, this place is a top pick.
