Hotel Quinta Mirabela

Property was excellent. Food amazing and views were spectacular.

Emanuel is a wonderful waiter “ breakfast buffet “

Excellent hotel on the outskirts of Funchal with great view of the city from above. Daily shuttle to get you into town. Free parking available.

Our AC wasn't working as it should. It was just too hot in our room. Would be nice to have more times available for our shuttle bus since it's a bit far from city center. First shuttle bus it too late and later at night there is none. Parking is also limited. The staff is just wonderful.

Very nice staff

Perfect stay. Paradise! Everything was perfect. Room was spacious. Staff were very friendly and accomodating. We stayed 5 nights, but on the 4th night we got upgraded to the higher floor with breath-taking view of Funchal Bay. Excellent breakfast. Relaxing spa. Free shuttle to/from Funchal city center. Special thank you for Tanya, Victor, shuttle driver and breakfast team. Will stay there again if we have a chance.

A really nice hotel. Quite a hike to town but well worth it for the views, and taxis are cheap in any case. Breakfast is good but don't bother with the restaurant for dinner. Much better options in town for food.

An absolutely beautiful hotel, although the exterior is looking a little tired in places. Would recommend for a romantic stay but it is quite far from the centre so you'll need to get a taxi back in the evenings.

This was our first visit to Madeira which started off badly as we had to divert to Tenerife due to high winds. We eventually arrived at the Quinta Mirabela one day later. The tourist maps of the island are not very detailed so it was just as well there were sign posts to the hotel off the main road. We were warmly welcomed and shown to our room which was one of the superior rooms with balcony. I had asked for a quiet room and we were positioned at the far end of the corridor was perfect really. The room was very well appointed and the view breathtaking. There were a couple of small issues with the lights and bath which were rectified immediately and without fuss. The breakfasts are really rather good and we did have a couple of evening meals in the restaurant which were above average compared to most of the hotels I stay in. Of course, a visit to Madeira is not complete without sampling one of the many fine restaurants in Funchal. We had a very relaxing stay at Quinta Mirabella. Overall the hotel was superb and the standard of service first class. We hope to return some day to finish off our exploration of the island.

Lovely friendly hotel. Great breakfast. Amazing views of funchal and the sea. Its halfway down the tobagon run so you need your wits about you when you leave the hotel. Excellent afternoon tea and spa facilities. A stiff thirty min walk down the hill to centre but well worth it Leave your high heels at home but enjoy a very special place

We booked this hotel partly due to a good rate and other reviews. We were not at all disappointed, the staff were helpful and friendly and the whole atmosphere was calm and comfortable. During our stay we visited two of the larger Funchal hotels and realized that staying in a quality small hotel was by far the better choice. We would not hesitate to recommend Quinta Mirabela. We hired a car to better discover Madeira, the location was ideal to explore without having to battle through Funchal every day although we did visit the town most evenings. We also found the food to be of a good standard but not too formal and reasonably priced, through choice we dined in the hotel five nights and one lunch during the week.

I read the various reviews about this hotel from a number of web sites and chose the hotel based solely on those reviews. First and foremost, the positive elements of the hotel. The hotel manager is just brilliant and very, very accommodating. We had a bit of a glitch regarding our stay which meant staying an additional night at the hotel and our flights being changed. The manager sorted out our flights and we were able to stay an additional night at the same reduced rate. The hotel is advertised as a 'design hotel' and I think in the UK we are more used to the term 'boutique hotel'. It's decor is certainly comtemporary. Perhaps due to it being February, the spa area wasn't used much during our stay by other residents. All it took was a call to reception to fire up the turkish baths and the sauna and within 15 minutes, the facilities were fully functioning. The gym area has several bits of equipment, rowing machine, treadmill, cross-trainer, bike, and there is also a multi-purpose weight machine. The water fountain (in the gym) could probably do with replacing as there is a bit of algae in it - probably because it is not used that much and when the sun does stream through the windows, it probably hits the water fountain! One very, very, small observation. The water tasted ok though! All areas are exceptionally clean! This is a small hotel and therefore you get a personal service - which is great! The location is a challenge though. Have run out of words!

extremely satisfied with all aspect of hotel. Just 22 rooms and incredible facility & level of service to match. Only disadvantage is location of hotel. It is located on steep hill between Funchal city & Monte.No places to go within walking distance. However, bus service & bus pass price is very good. Taxi required from airport (about 30 euros)View of city & harbour is amazing. Food is incredible. Breakfast is buffet & ala carte included in price with champagne.

Nous avons passé une semaine au Quinta Mirabela pour notre 12ème anniversaire de mariage et c’était formidable. L’hôtel nous a offert de belles surprises et attentions pour cet événement. L’hôtel est de taille raisonnable pour pouvoir recevoir un accueil de qualité et personnalisé et situé au calme, dans les hauteurs de la ville. La chambre avec balcon donne sur la piscine à bonne température et sur la ville. La vue de l’hôtel sur Funchal est magnifique, notamment grâce à plusieurs terrasses où l’on peut prendre un verre en journée ou le soir. Le meilleur point de l’ensemble fut le restaurant, où nous avons dîné tous les soirs en demi-pension (et pris le petit-déjeuner aussi) et qui était vraiment délicieux. Les produits sont de qualité et bien cuisinés, les vins sont proposés à un prix raisonnable et le service est impeccable (mention spéciale à Adriano et Emmanuel qui sont très gentils et professionnels). Un vrai 5 étoiles !

Pour moi c’est pas un hôtel cinq étoiles, en plus ils nous font payer une carafe d’eau qu’ils ont mis dans la chambre

Tolles Hotel, sehr sauber und ordentlich. Nettes Personal und leckeres Essen. Toller Pool Bereich und auch der SPA Bereich ist recht schön nur leider nicht sehr groß, sodass man sich einen einstündigen Slot reservieren muss

Ein Hotel, welches fünf Sterne verdient. Klein, aber sehr fein, recht ruhig, super Service mit einem sehr freundlichen Personal. Ein kleiner Nachteil: Zu Fuß ist das Hotel nicht leicht zu erreichen, die Straße ist sehr steil. Daher empfiehlt sich ein Mietwagen, aber vom Stadtzentrum gibt es Taxis oder auch den gut ausgebauten öffentlichen Busverkehr.

God hotel with all amenities. Not their fault but the dogs barking around it are very loud. Breakfast is medium for a place this price and room is cold

Nice and friendly staff, stunning view all over funchal, the restaurant is really worth a recommendation. We will be back.

10 dagen in dit hotel geweest. Het voelt niet als 5 sterren eerder tussen 3 en 4 sterren. Dagelijks hetzelfde ontbijt of een heel klein verschil in bv het fruit, er is geen koffie of theemachine in de kamer, ook niet in de ontbijtruimte. Er wordt bij binnenkomst in de ontbijtruimte gevraagd of je thee of koffie wil, deze kun je dus niet zelf bijvullen. De koffie is slap, wil je espresso dan moet je hier extra voor betalen. De spa is maar tot 19:00 uur open en alleen op verzoek/ reservering beschikbaar. De gym sluit al om 20:00 Er is nagenoeg niks in de buurt. de straten zijn te steil om op te lopen dus je moet de auto pakken of een taxi. Pluspunten zijn dat de kamers schoon zijn en het personeel vriendelijk is. Er was alle dagen genoeg parkeergelegenheid maar wij zijn dan ook in november hier geweest. Wel zagen wij best veel mieren in de ontbijtzaal en ook op de kamer. Het uitzicht is prachtig vanaf het balkon, en doordat er niks in de buurt van het hotel is is het ook rustig, als je rust zoekt en niet teveel entertainment/restaurants binnen handbereik wil hebben dan is dit een perfect hotel waar je je goed kan vermaken.
