Quaint apartment views amazing but..
Quinta Esperanca is a quaint pretty converted hotel circa 1925 to apartment , just above the old town so easy to walk down for the cobbled pedestrian streets . Walk up home is possible but also taxi at 5-8 euros after too many poncha is a good idea . Trainers are a requirement for this place forget your heels . We stayed in the top floor studio apartment with 30 steps of spiral staircase to access ( no big heavy suitcases!) light airy raised ceilings , traditional furniture and spotlessly clean it’s a nice room , good shower and of course fantastic views over the marina . The gardens are beautiful . The pool area is very tired , the pool also tired and needs a refurb. Often debris , cockroaches and dirty I didn’t want to swim in it . Lots of geckos everywhere around pool fascinating to watch . If you are very pool orientated I would book elsewhere . The location near amazing cafe/ bakery and very well stocked grocery store is very handy. Real poncha bar where locals drink at bottom of hill into old town. We did have issues with building noise (new house being built next door) so decided to relocate after 4 days . Glad we saw the old town and stayed in residential area first though, Helena was quick to respond to issues we raised and can’t blame her for the noise . She was most helpful when we were wanting to move . I understand the worst of the ground work is now done .

Une parenthèse enchantée
Je ne sais quoi dire de plus que de recommander cette location à toute personne qui souhaite profiter d’une des plus belles terrasses et vue de Funchal. Vous serez accueillis dans ce lieu d’exception par Helena et son mari Roberto. Ce sont des gens charmants qui feront tout ce qu’ils peuvent pour vous faciliter l’organisation de votre séjour. La propriété qui comprend peu d’appartements, une piscine privée et un jardin magnifiquement entretenu fut nôtre havre de paix et de fraîcheur. La quinta est magnifiquement située à proximité des plus beaux jardin de Funchal. Nous espérons revenir sur Madère prochainement et nous ne manquerons pas de retourner dans ce lieux de rêves.

A Hidden gem away from the crowds.
Beautiful Quinta with many original features, lovely gardens and a wonderful pool to relax around at the end of a busy day. Our apartment felt very traditional and had some lovely decorative touches. Spotlessly clean. The hosts Helena and Roberto have obviously put so much hard work into restoring their amazing home. Nothing was too much trouble for them and we found the flexible check in and out times a real bonus. The Qinta is about a 15/20 minute walk steep down hill to the old town, so to walk back you would need to be reasonably fit but it's a short taxi or bus ride back if you're not feeling it! However there is a handy bus stop right outside the Quinta.

Simply Wonderful
The spacious apartment is located on the first floor of a beautifully restored Quinta set just above the Old Town in Funchal. The house stands in it's own private,well kept gardens with swimming pool available for the use of guests.There are 4 other apartments located in the Quinta but all on the ground floor and all private from each other so whichever one you choose you will still have a unique stay.The Orchid apartment is accessed via the original cast iron spiral staircase which leads on to a communal terrace with fabulous views of the bay.The apartment is then up a few more steps to it's own private balcony.There are 2 original wooden shuttered french doors leading in to the apartment which in itself is very nicely furnished with solid wooden floor,kitchenette,dining table and very comfortable king size bed.There is a good sized shower room leading off from the main room.There is everything you need for self catering if you wish including a 2 ring cooker,microwave,kettle,toaster,coffee machine and a large fridge freezer .There is strong wi-fi and tv with cable channels and netflix if that's your thing.There is a bus stop immediately outside the gate which goes into Funchal (5 mins) or up to the botanical gardens (10 mins). It is located on a hill but then again most places are in Funchal.We walked in and out of the centre most days but the bus is a great option if the climb back is a bit steep .There is an excellent bakery and cafe plus small shop just 5 mins walk away. Helena is a great host and can organise various trips for you all of which are detailed in the room.I strongly recommend the House tour which includes High Tea on the terrace which was wonderful. The Quinta was previously used as a hotel in the 1920’s and Helena has ensured that the restoration work carried out has retained it’s character perfectly.It is the complete opposite of the concrete jungle that continues to grow in the hotel zone to the west of Funchal and is so much better as a result. The guest book in the room has many reviews from repeat guests which I always think is the best recommendation you can get. If you are looking for a peaceful place to stay with genuine character,stunning views and yet still close to the centre I honestly don’t think you’ll find anything better.We shall certainly return.

Fabulous place to stay
What a fabulous place to stay. Formerly a hotel in the 1920's, Helena and Roberto have restored this beautiful Quinta back to its former glory. The grounds are spacious and lovely, Located away from the tourist hub you feel part of the true Portuguese Funchal. Our apartment was fully equipped and had a glorious colonial feel. Roberto and Helena are so warm and friendly yet unobtrusive. We had a great time and cannot wait to return

Funchals schönster Ausblick
Wenn man die steile Wendeltreppe zum Orchid Appartement erstmal geschafft hat, wird man mit einem atemberaubenden Ausblick belohnt! Das Appartement ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und wir haben unser tägliches Frühstück auf der Terrase sehr genossen. Helena und Roberto sind sehr aufmerksame Gastgeber. Zurück zuhause haben wir beim Essen der Früchte aus dem Garten, die wir von ihnen mitbekommen haben, gerne an einen runderherum gelungenen Aufenthalt zurückgedacht.

Perfect Vacation Location
The Orchid apartment on the first floor is an absolute joy. Fabulous terrace and gardens. Incredible views, everything you need for a relaxing break. Very clean with lovely attention to detail and very welcoming and helpful hosts Helena and Roberto. This beautiful Quinta is such a calming environment and there's so much more privacy and space than staying in an hotel. Any of the apartments would be lovely and the spiral staircase leads everyone to the communal upper terrace and amazing views. If you want access to the buzz of Funchal, but a quiet haven to retreat to, this is an excellent choice. Highly recommended.

A beautiful, elegantly furnished apartment with breathtaking views over the Funchal and the sea
Quinta Esperança is the most beautiful property, with stunning gardens, a sparkling pool with loungers for relaxing and with only 5 apartments sharing the facilities it was like our own private estate. We stayed in the top floor Orchid apartment where the views are truly breathtaking, day and night. Breakfast with delicious Portuguese pastries from the nearby bakery watching the boats sail in and out of the port, and evenings with a glass of wine watching the sun go down behind the lights of Funchal, this place is magical. Orchid apartment is perfect, elegantly furnished with a stunning decorative ceiling, super comfortable bed and a modern shower room, spotlessly clean. The kitchenette is ideal for preparing light meals and the large fridge on the terrace was a real bonus. Helena and Roberto were charming hosts, we loved Madeira and will definitely visit this property again.

Beautiful apartment with amazing view in a lovely property
We spent two weeks in February in the beautiful house, the Quinta Esperanca in the Orchid apartment. Helena and Roberto have been excellent hosts, the house and the garden are amazing. The apartment is very beautiful and tastefully decorated, we did not miss anything, beds are excellent and from our terrace we enjoyed the view over Funchal, the harbor and the Atlantic Ocean. As the weather was quite warm we could even relax from time to time on the comfortable deckchairs at the pool. The location is perfect - not too close to the city center but walking distance away from it. We enjoyed walking to the bakery store and the small supermarket in the neighborhood and to discover tasty pastries or fruit. As we had a rental car for your stay, we did not use public transport, but there is a bus stop very close to the house. Parking is not a problem, there is a lot of space and getting out of Funchal is easy with access to the highway just further up the hill. Thanks to our hosts and to Carla for this wonderful vacation!
