Property Description
Located in Funchal Quinta Esperança, a very big traditional house has been one of the first Hotels back in 1920s. It offers you a total quiet, calm and peaceful holiday. Please note it is part of the city and cities are alive, meaning you can also have any kind of noises like traffic, works going on, etc, but totally out of our hand.Normally we don't.
With beautiful gardens, lots of fruit trees (bananas, avocates, mangos, figs) and local plants, you can enjoy the typical Madeira environment in a traditional Quinta.
ORCHID is an open plan placed up on the top floor of the building acessed only by some spiral stairs (make sure you are well fitted to access the 2nd floor). It is beautifully decorated, very private and enjoys a magnificent view over the harbor and the whole city of Funchal. It is accessed by some spiral exterior stairs, so you must be sure you are well fitted to get up there through some stairs.
Inside, you will find a large apartment (open space) with bedroom area, loundge, en-suite bathroom with modern glass windows, a fully equipped kitchinet and a fantastic private balcony for your meals while enjoying the view.
Orchid is the only apartment located upstairs by the terrace but separated with some closed doors, so totally private.
We offer only 5 apartments at the Quinta with a lot of privacy for each of them.
They are all very nice, comfortable and well equipped as Orchid is. They all enjoy view over the sea and gardens and a lot of privacy.
The pool is open all year round and during all day.
Parking is free on the road, right in front of the property. Bus stop is just there by our gate for your comfort. Walking down the road is very easy but steep roads, coming back better to take a bus or taxi which is only € 5 to 7€.
The best bakery in Funchal is around the corner and also a very nice supermarket with fresh fruits and vegetables produced by locals.About pets:No pets allowed.About checkOut:Check out before 10:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 13-17.About checkIn:Check in after 4:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About minBookingAge:Minimum age to rent: 18.About events:No events allowed.

Quinta Esperanca is an absolutely wonderful find! Set in truly beautiful gardens with a fabulous, uncrowded pool, the room is airy and comfortable with a small, useable kitchenette. The showstopper though, is the balcony and the fantastically wide view down to the harbour. It’s amazing at all times of the day! The hosts have a vision for the Quinta and we loved being part of their journey to refurbish the whole property. It is a unique place; although the photos show the view, they can’t capture the special ambiance. It is a very steep walk into town and back (about 20 mins each way). There is a bus stop outside the Quinta but we didn’t find it ran regularly enough to be useful. The walk into town was manageable and enjoyable for us in any case and we were able to explore Funchal fully on foot from the apartment. Apart from the bakery and a small supermarket, everything else is down by the harbour in the town centre. Martim gave us lots of good advice re trips and recommendations which we followed; the Jeep safari was fantastic and downloading the Bolt app enabled us to see around the island and saved us having to hire a car. One word of caution- the upstairs room is only accessible by a very steep outside spiral staircase. Not a problem for us but it’s worth knowing in advance! Would we come back to the Quinta? Yes, in a heartbeat!

Beautiful Oasis!
We had a fantastic stay! The apartment was very cozy with stunning views over the harbor. After long days exploring the island, we always looked forward to coming back to our oasis and relaxing on the terrace! The grounds are beautiful and well cared for. Very easy parking if you rent a car. The walk into old town is only 20 minutes (all downhill). Very easy to catch a bus or Bolt if you don't want to walk back up the hill! The host, Helena, was excellent and made us feel very welcome and at home throughout our stay. If you want an authentic, intimate experience and prime location, then this is the place!

Very special
Quinta Esperanca is very special. It is a beautiful old characterful house with lovely gardens but with modern facilities in the studio. It is easy to get into Funchal and enjoy all the city has to offer. We loved to return back to our terrace after dinner to watch the lights come on across the city as darkness fell.

Quiet Quinta above the old town
Property is very characterful with great views. We very much liked the area being a little away from the main tourist zones but we like to walk. Hosts and staff all very lovely and helpful. We were two floors up via a metal exterior spiral staircase, we rather liked it and it is well mentioned in the advert but it would not be suitable for everyone. Mattress was rather hard and we did not get used to it after 2 weeks. Swimming pool is wonderful and if we are back in Funchal we would try and book the same place again. Very pleased we did not stay in the Lido area as to us it is vastly over developed.

Superb Quinta
Great studio with everything you need for a wonderful stay. Amazing view to while away your time with a book and booze. My favourite area of the Quinta was the relaxing large shared seating area great for whatever the weather. Lovely gardens and pool. Will be staying again. Visit to the local bakery Mariazinha is a must.

Fantastic apartment
What a fantastic place with great views and a beautifully groomed garden. Lots of homely touches. So glad we found this place, we loved it here and cant wait to go back.
Worth mentioning is that the walk into town is 20 mins downhill and a steep walk back but the bus stops right outside the gate and taxi's are b/w 5 & 10 euro's depending on who you get. The access to the apt is via a spiral staircase which we loved but worth considering.
Helena was so helpful and we knew she was contactable if we'd needed her. 10/10.

We will come back ...
The Quinta is a wonderful property in which we felt very comfortable during the two weeks of our stay. You can walk in 15-20 Minutes into town or the harbor and enjoy everything the city has to offer. We only discovered how important this is during the course of our vacation. There are hardly any places on the island with a larger town center. The houses are rather scattered on the slopes and the route to the nearest restaurant or to the sea etc. can be quite long. So if you want to enjoy the island's landscape together with the infrastructure of the old town of Funchal, this is the place for you.

The view is real! 😍
Everything is even more beautiful then in the photos. I had a fantastic stay at this beautiful Quinta. The garden alone would be worth a rave review. The pool is wonderful and I had it to myself. Even fully booked there are few other guest, all friendly enjoying the privacy. My private balcony was like an extra room where I spend whole evenings. The weather is so agreeable that I slept with open doors and could see the ocean from my comfortable bed. The apartment is lovingly put together with fine wooden furniture and well equipped.
The whole situation is excellent. You have view of Funchal bay with the busy hotel complexes far away. Yet the walk into town is quick (if you don't want to wait for the bus that stops right and front of the building) and the grocery and bakery around the corner will set you up with anything you need.
I would love to go there again in a heartbeat!
