Hotels in Santo Antonio, Funchal

Wonderful place central location easy to walk to the sights. Very friendly staff keen to assist with making your stay as enjoyable as possible. Great spacious apartment with kitchen, living room, bathroom and bedroom with very comfortable beds. Excellent breakfast with beautiful fresh made local produce all prepared by a wonderful chef who is so friendly it feels like you have a personal chef. Highly recommended and Madeira is such a wonderful destination can’t wait to revisit.

My wife and I have just returned from the amazing Quintinha Sao Joao for the 6 th time and are already very much looking forward to returning in January 2025, and other dates next year. This shows how much we enjoy our visits and we come home feeling so relaxed. We feel that everything about this hotel is faultless. From the excellent food and service provided by Felipe (who is such a gentleman) and all his staff, the bar staff, the reception staff who are very pleasant and welcoming and not forgetting the wonderful Rosie in Guest Services who is always so cheery and helpful. She goes out of her way to ensure that you have all the information you require for Madeira, printing off bus routes etc. And advising things to do during your stay. She will book trips for you and nothing is ever too much trouble for her. The bedrooms and all areas of the hotel are kept spotlessly clean by the cleaning staff. The food is the best we have ever had the pleasure to taste. From the massive variety available at breakfast to the wonderful meals at night. The chefs do an amazing job and are great at catering for my wife’s gluten intolerance, without detracting form taste or quality of the meals. The restaurant and indeed the whole hotel is beautifully decorated and the ambience is so relaxing. My wife had 2 massages from Daniella and she found these to be so relaxing. The hotel gardens re kept beautiful, with lots of unusual plants and beautiful orchids. It is so relaxing sitting out in the garden bar and having a drink or something to eat. Several of the staff have worked at the hotel since it opened - 26 years ago, which shows you how well they are treated by the General Manager, Andre Barreto who is so pleasant. We re really looking forward to returning next Month.

After many years of travel I finally found my perfect hotel, this was more like visiting family than a strange hotel, being recently bereaved and almost an octogenarian I found their patience and understanding was a welcome not so usually found, led by the wonderful Maryluz, receptionist, and restaurant supervisor they fussed over me like a mother hen, This is a wonderfully clean hotel with spacious rooms with king sized beds set in a great location minutes from Funchal center, the restaurant is really nice and breakfasts were the best i have had anywhere with a wide range of cold meats, fruit juice etc and cooked breakfast cooked to order then served at table along with a pot of coffee, the rooms are cleaned everyday with clean towels provided, there is also a safe in the room but best of all the care and friendlyness of all of the the staff, Maryluz is a wonderful lady and made my holiday a joy even giving me a cuddle when i left so thank you Maryluz and all the staff at the Funchal Design i hope to see you all again someday and i will certainly recommend the Hotel to anyone visiting the beautiful Island of Madera
