Book Your Stay at Quinta Do Monte, Funchal (Madeira)

The hotel sits within extensive mature gardens that house the original restored Chapel of Quinta do Monte, a 19th-century structure now used for guest ceremonies. An indoor swimming pool and hot tub are open year-round, while outdoor areas include sun terraces and loungers surrounded by tropical plants. Guests also gain access to leisure facilities at sister hotels, expanding available activities beyond the property.

Each of the 42 well-appointed rooms opens onto a balcony with views over the gardens, the city of Funchal, or the Atlantic Ocean. Rooms include a minibar, cable TV, and private bathroom with hairdryer; superior rooms add extra living space. The hotel's suites feature separate sitting areas and larger terraces for extended relaxation.

Restaurant Monte Garden serves an à la carte menu blending Madeiran, Portuguese, and international dishes from its panoramic dining room. Breakfast includes a buffet with made-to-order eggs, fresh fruits, and vegan and gluten-free options confirmed at check-in. A typical Madeiran kiosk on the terrace offers light meals and drinks throughout the day, while the bar serves local Madeira wine and cocktails in the evening.

The hotel is a two-minute walk from the Monte cable car terminal, providing direct descent to central Funchal. Monte Palace Tropical Garden and the starting point of the famous Monte toboggan ride are within 100 metres. Bus stops on the 20 and 21 routes are five minutes away, linking the hotel to Funchal's historic centre and the Botanic Garden cable car.

A games room with billiards and board games keeps children and adults occupied, while the fitness centre is open for daily workouts. The hotel's 24-hour reception can arrange car hire, airport shuttle transfers, and guided tours of the island. Free private parking on the premises and key-card access to all areas add convenience for families driving around Madeira.
