I have stayed at the Monte Carlo for over 20 years and they have always looked after my needs with great care and compassion. The hotel is set in a wonderful position in the town ( not the soulless hotel zone) overlooking the sea and mountains. It’s a period hotel, with tremendous charm with a pool on the roof at a certain price point. We visited in April 2024 and the staff were fabulous and the stay in Madeira a joy. The Monte Carlo is a period gem, but not a modern chain hotel. If you want a slice of Madeira stay.. close if steep walk to the whole town, museums and restaurants. 24 hour desk, limited parking ( but parking in the area) simple bu cheep breakfast, comfortable and large period rooms. Like Madeira itself charming, quirky and old school.
Monte Carlo er et fantastisk sted at holde ferie, hvis man som jeg elsker ro og harmoni.
Stilen er gammel, hvilket jeg også godt kan lide. Meget højt til loftet og flotte gamle døre og vinduer.
Elevatoren fører dig til de forskelle afdelinger, og jeg boede på 2 etage, hvor der også var en dejlig lille swimmingpool,
Herfra er der udsigt over Funchal og ned til havnen, hvor de store cruiseskibe også ligger. Underholdninger for mig var Hollywood Chanel på værelset og i Hotellets bar.
Det var faktisk gode film der var på kanalen. Det var dejlig afslapning, når jeg kom tilbage til hotellet efter lange traveture rundt omkring på øen. Sengen og badeværelset var også helt fint.
En dygtig tjener, som har en god fornemmelse for kundepleje, sørger for at du kan få en lækker gin og tonic. Der var mange at vælge imellem og det var vidunderligt at sidde på deres terrasse foran indgangen og nyde en dejlig aftensmad bestående af deres lokale fiskeret Espada med de lækreste grøntsager til og dejligt ristet brød.
Herfra har du også den skønneste udsigt ud over byen og ned til vandet.
Jeg syntes det er skønt at der stadigvæk findes sådanne gamle og nostalgiske, autentiske hoteller og jeg håber Monte Carlo vil fortsætte stilen, for det er bare så hyggeligt. Tusind tak for en dejlig ferie hos jer.
Kan på det varmeste anbefale stedet, men det er vigtigt at kunne gå opad, for selvom der var trappen fra gaden, var det lidt anstrengende. Ellers er det bedst at tage en taxa derop.
I really enjoyed the 1905 beautiful MONTE CARLO HOTEL building, it has breathtaking, captivating view of the city. Pool on the roof. One could sit on the roof all day & enjoy captivating 180° view of the city, the bay, ocean, mountains.
Pedro & Albino were very well mannered, cordial, helpful, kind people. My room was nice size, with spacious bathroom, it had a shower & a bath. It's 5 minutes walk to city center, the beach, old town, airport bus stop. Architecture around, walking towards hotel, or from, was also captivating, many beautiful, historical buildings. It also has a big space at the front entrance to the hotel, were one could sit, relax & enjoy the captivating view. There is a library, a lounge are on the 1st floor, it's really wonderful, relaxing, cozy. Am so glad & grateful to the owner for having me there, I enjoyed the breakfast/ lunch serv d by Albino, he was kind & caring person, cappuccino was delicious, can't wait to return & recommend it to fellow travelers. Thank you Albino & Pedro, Muito Obrigado ❤️🙏
