A Perfect Stay at Quintinha de São João – Truly Unforgettable We had the most incredible experience at Quintinha de São João during our recent stay in Madeira. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The staff were genuinely warm, welcoming, and attentive – they made us feel completely at home. Our room was spacious and beautifully maintained, with a stunning balcony that looked out over the lush gardens and offered breathtaking views across Funchal. Every detail, from the peaceful surroundings to the thoughtful touches in the room, added to the overall sense of calm and comfort. This trip was especially meaningful as we were celebrating my retirement with family, and it couldn’t have been a more perfect setting. The atmosphere, the people, and the beauty of the hotel made it truly unforgettable – a celebration we’ll cherish forever. I would 100% recommend Quintinha de São João to anyone visiting Madeira. It’s a hidden gem with heart, and I already dream of returning one day.

An outstanding experience! The whole personnel was professional and pleasant. Breakfast was nice, I liked how they had focused on the quality instead of the quantity. Everything in the hotel was very well thought. I definitely recommend you to try the spa - such a relaxing experience! Some have criticized it for being too small, but it also means personified service and tranquility. Our room was on the top floor, and we could enjoy the beautiful sunrises and sunsets and how they landed on the mountains from our balcony. Definitely my favourite moments from our trip.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Good location, short walk into town ( steepish hill). Our room was comfortable. Hotel was very quiet, fully booked but hardly ever saw anyone else.

Restaurant : we visited Sao Joao because an ex-colleague had recommended the Quinta. Throughout our stay, the level of empathy across the staff was exceptional. One night of our three nights, we ate in the restaurant. The delicious food was undoubtedly the best of the three evening meals that we experienced. It was presented with flair and the restaurant staff once again demonstrated real warmth.

This is a lovely traditional well-managed hotel on the outskirts of Funchal. The staff are delightful and helpful. The food was of good quality, though missing the dairy-free vegan basics. We asked for vegan options for dinner which the kitchen tried hard with but were not always satisfactory.

Rooms were very large and comfortable, the complimentary fresh bottled water each day was a nice touch. Courtesy mini bus to and from the centre was useful. All the staff were very helpful and pleasant. The breakfast selection was exceptional as was the standard of food, so well in fact, that we decided to use it all week for our main meal in the evenings off of their a la carte menu.

- atmosphere and architecture in colonial style - excellent breakfast (both buffet and menu) - wonderful garden and hotel itself (feels a bit like a museum) - very attentive and friendly staff - an oasis of calmness and rest

The hotel staff is amazing and made us felt welcome. It is a relatively small hotel, so you don't feel here like just another costumer, but you get to know all the members of the staff. We loved the restaurant - the food and the service were excellent. Also we were pleasently surprised that the hotel services' prices were very reasonable, sometimes even a bargain. The garden is very pleasant, even nicer than in the pictures.
