This was a great option for us! It was far away enough from tourists but still gave us plenty of options of things to do and an amazing view. The restaurant was good and convenient, albeit a little on the expensive side, but that’s the price of convenience. The housekeeper was incredible! Our room was spotless and all supplies were restocked each day when we came home from our tours. Breakfast starts at 8:30am and most of the tours start at either 8:30 or 9, so it’s a bit tight but you have a refrigerator and a microwave and oven in your room, so you’re set as long as you hit up a supermarket. The hair dryer was great. The beds were comfy enough. You have Ubers and public transit right there since it’s such a popular location for the gondolas and the tropical garden. I loved it! There’s a ton of walking opportunities and it’s sooo safe. I would take my kids out to walk uphill every night if they were crazy. Overall great pick for families who stay active.

This little hidden gem is absolutely fabulous. The hotel has a very boutique, exclusive style. It's clean, beautiful, convenient, and the staff is friendly, professional, and helpful. Separate shout out to the superb restaurant, especially the breakfast. I've never seen so much delicious food, served for breakfast, that is included in the price. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

Excellent hotel, would recommend to anyone to stay here. The staff were amazing, very helpful and went over and above with their level of service to make the stay wonderful. Very comfortable room, magnificent views and the restaurant excelled for food and service. We look forward to visiting the hotel and the team again.

Excellent staff at the restaurant to help with meals and recommendations for things.

I didn't realise when booking but this hotel is in the most perfect location. Within a very short walk there are 2 fantastic cable cars, one takes you down into Funchal the other down the mountainside to a botanical garden. Around the corner you can get a toboggan 2km down the hill towards Funchal which was great fun! Again a 2 minute walk to a really stunning botanical garden and palace. For 6 euros you can get a return service bus up into the mountains for some incredible walks/views. The staff were so welcoming and helpful, we arrived late and they made us food, packed us a picnic breakfast to take up the mountain and were always on hand to answer any questions and check we were happy. I cannot recommend this place enough, it was absolutely fantastic!

First time in Madeira and we had an amazing time. Wish we spent more than 3 days here, could have easily stayed for 2 weeks to explore. Love the location of this stay! Amazing views and beautiful place! Highly recommend.

Sonia, Hugo and João were excellent as was the breakfast. The driving in the area is treacherous and very difficult if you’re renting a vehicle to access the hotel.

The Staff was amazing. The food was amazing! Hugo made our stay so enjoyable and welcoming.

Loved the boutique hotel. Situated at the top of the hill next to the cable car station and monte palace gardens. Also only a few minute walk to the wicker toboggan start point. Great staff, overall lovely stay and would stay again. One caveat, if you are planning on having a car, make sure you are comfortable driving VERY narrow, steep and winding roads.

The hotel is very clean and in a beautiful location, the room was a good size. The food was not really to our liking but there are plenty of other restaurants in Funchal. I would not recommend hiring a car if you are a nervous driver, the roads are very narrow and steep! I was disappointed by the service I received by the staff at Our Madeira who own the hotel, but the staff at the hotel itself I could not fault. Additional touches like more toiletries and comfortable pillows would make this a 5 star. We stayed in apartment 1B which I would avoid if you are a light sleeper as the hotel is right above you and can be noisy.

This is a beautiful little hotel with very kind staff. The breakfast is delicious and varied day to day. The room was spacious and well-appointed. The location is peaceful with lovely views, walking distance to the (must-see) botanical garden, and to a funicular that can take you downtown. But especially given that the funicular is pricey, the downside is having to drive up and down the hill to Funchal. Thus, we loved combining a few days at Babosas with a stay down toward the water.

It was our first trip to Madeira .we picked this hotel just by its look and location and we did't go wrong .I highly recomed this place to everyone .

A wonderful 4 night stay in a great location. The accommodation was all newly refurbished to a high standard and every single one of the staff was super friendly. Breakfast was a feast and we enjoyed lovely meals in the restaurant in the evening. Highly recommend.

Outstanding service. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean, quiet. Excellent meals. Reasonable prices. Highly recommended !!

From the gorgeous views to the attention to details for breakfast we were blown away. Babosas was perfect for our first international stay. Everyone treated us so special and we felt valued at every turn. Our villa was quint and clean and we enjoyed it so much! I would give it a 10 out of 10 and recommend it to anyone who is traveling to Funchal. It is located in a great spot close to the cable cars and Monte Palace ❤️❤️🌸🌸 our stay could not have gone any better!

Very good communication prior to arrival, clear instructions. The hotel is well located in Monte area, next to the cable car and Monte Tropical Garden. Room was spacious, comfy, well maintained. Breakfast was excellent with repeating but wide choice of good quality food. The restaurant itself is excellent, we dined a few times, perfect seafood, big portions at fair prices. The staff was more than friendly and accommodating - to mention just a few - Sonia, Hugo. Strongly recommended, would definitely go back again

Wait staff and housekeeping were attentive/kind & the room was generally clean & nice, however it had a distinctly unpleasant smell. (My son thought it smelled like cat pee; I thought it was mildew.) While staff we met face-to-face were nice, the management company was oddly antagonistic; almost passive aggressive. Also, for a few days of our stay, the hotel was in a cloud/deep fog, whereas down in Funchal, it was generally sunny. A waiter said this was common. TBH - not great value for money.

A lovely small hotel situated above Funchal near the main cable car station. The views over Funchal to the sea are very special. Exceptionally friendly, kind and helpful staff. The breakfast is generous and varied. We had a comfortable and well equipped suite which had its own small balcony and a patio shared with a neighbouring suite. There is a useful inexpensive bus #22 that runs from outside the hotel into Funchal. There are a couple of things to be aware of. 1. The hotel is up on the hillside - if the cloud is low, you may be in it. 2. Madeiran roads can be narrow and winding with steep gradients. This includes the route to the hotel. The property sends helpful directions but take it slowly when you approach for the first time. It becomes much easier when you get used to it. I would happily stay at Babosas Village again.

This is a 5 star unique property. Rooms are perfect with nice view. The staff is awesome and make you feel at home. The restaurant of the hotel is the best we found in Madeira.

few walkable eating options after 6pm
