Enjoy a stay in the Manor of the White House

Advantages: Excellent service, nice quite location
Disadvantages: No lifts or ramp for those with walking difficulties

...very nice little hotel called Quinta da Casa Branca. It is part of the Estalagem hotel chain and is included on a list of small luxury hotels of the world. Our travel agent Expedia had this hotel down as four stars so we were surprised when we turned up to see that the hotel had five stars on the gate. So who was right Expedia or Estalagem? ~Location~ Madeira is off the coast of West Africa, it is an steep sided granite mass sat out in the Atlantic ...
...bay on the southern coast. Quinta da Casa Branca (QCB) is located in the relatively quiet holiday apartment area of Casa Branca. QCB is north of the main hotels along the cliffs and west of Funchal's city centre. The hotel is on a crescent shaped parcel of land with an entrance gate in the northwest corner on Rue da Casa Branca. ~First impressions~ From the gate you can only see the hotel's reception area and bar all clad in glass, wood and dark ...

Review of Quinta da Casa Branca, Funchal

Afternoon tea at Reid's Palace Hotel

Advantages: Good service with a feel good ambience
Disadvantages: none - do it.

...the terrace at the historic Reid's Palace Hotel is a bit of a must do thing while on holiday in Madeira. We stayed at the Pestana Grand in September 2007 and they were happy to book a table for two for us at Reid's Palace hotel. I was a little concerned about going to Reid's Palace because taking afternoon tea isn't really a regular holiday activity for me. I am more likely to be taking an afternoon hair of the dog! We were a bit put off the idea ...
...from a decent list. The Reid's palace blend was so nice that we bought some in their gift shop. Included in the price and served with the tea were plate stands with a selection of sandwiches and 6 cream cakes. Scones with jam and cream were also served. The service was excellent and the food very good. We felt ever so good doing this, it was really civilised and we just felt happy. We did this on our last full day before leaving Madeira and I would ...

Review of Reid's Palace, Funchal

Do you want to stay in Madeira, My dear?

Advantages: five star resort hotel in good location in Madeira
Disadvantages: Hilly situation, reception staff not people friendly

...in Madeira staying at the Savoy hotel, a hotel built for the cruise ships patrons and with an old world charm, where we discovered that they were building a 5 star resort hotel overlooking the sea and connected by a bridge to the Classic hotel. That was back in 2001 and it was completed a couple of years later. I always wanted to stay there to see what it was like and I am pleased to say my wish was granted earlier this month. The Royal Savoy resort ...
...with the logo for the Savoy hotels, which could be seen when the floral top cover was turned down. Extra cushions were put in the wardrobe when the maid turned down the bed and nightwear was beautifully arranged and a delicious chocolate left each night! Lounge area There was a good sized settee in green with green and cream stripes, a small round table and padded arm chairs, where you could eat if it wasn't nice enough to be out on the balcony, ...

Review of Savoy Resort, Funchal

lie down and avoid

Advantages: central
Disadvantages: see review

The hotel is more down-market 2 star than 4 star. The rooms are shabby with poor quality furniture. There is no air conditioning - so you open the windows and in come the mosquitoes. Bathroom hygiene is questionable - on arrival the bathroom smelled sour & rancid - like a urinal that hadn't been cleaned for a week. The breakfast is meagre in scope and poor in quality. Brioche & croissants are inedible. The "ham" is some sort of reformed meat product ...

Review of Windsor Hotel, Funchal

Something for everyone.

Advantages: Lots of choice for pools / eats/ drinks
Disadvantages: Fairly expensive daily rate

...the apartment section of the Porto Mare hotel, the apartments are available as timeshares, but also available to book as you would any hotel room which is what we have done on 4 occasions now. We booked the one bedroom apartment, for which you get a large living room with TV (with surround sound kit), DVD, sofabed and dining area including table and chairs. The bedroom has an enormous bed, which is actually 2 doubles pushed together and is very comfortable ...
...with microwave, dishwasher, hob, lots of pots and pans etc. The bathroom is separated into two rooms, one side has a bath and sink, the other a sink, WC and walk in shower, all of which are spotlessly clean. The aprtment also has patio doors in both the longe and the bedrooms that go out onto a private garden shared by approx 5 aprtments, a large lawn with sun loungers outside each apartment, the perfect place to sit at the end of the day with a ...
