The Madeira region


Famous for its friendly people,exceptional natural beauty and a surprisingly mild climate,Madeira Islands are just a short trip from Europe, to a destination where you can combine holidays on the beach, in the mountains or in the city. Madeira is the ideal place to relax and restore the balance of mind and body that you need to face the stress of daily life.
Only 3 hours fly from England , and 1,30hour from Lisbon, this Island is adorable for its famous Levada walks, Flower Festival, Festival of the Atlantic and the famous End of the Year fireworks.
The Funchal area
In Funchal Town, you will find the farmer’s market, the main shopping area and a plentiful selection of restaurants, cafés, bars . The main bus departure points for the island is the perfect base from which to explore this charming town and the stunning rugged island.
For further information we would suggest you to visit the web page www.tourism.org
The easy location of the Quinta, offers you all the comfort of not having to hire a car. On your arrival and departure day, we can provide you the transfer from the airport. The regular bus service (1€ per trip) is very good and the bus stop is located at the gate of the Quinta. If you like to walk, Funchal city center is just 15minutes away, through a very nice road. As it is a bit steep to come back, better to take the bus number 31, the same that goes up to the beautiful Botanical Garden. At a late hour, a taxi will cost you no more than 5€. If you prefer to have a car just for a few days to explore the Island, we can try to get you the best price. The parking area in front of the Quinta , offers you plenty of space at any time of day or night. The quietness and calm of this place, is only broken with the singing of the birds all over the gardens and trees of the Quinta. The sea view is all over. We offer you a bit all around, some garden furniture for your leisure moments

We have had a very relaxing and enjoyable week at "Quinta Esperança". It was a very quaint apartment with spetacular views.
We especially enjoyed the mangoes from the trees and Roberto´s kindness taking us down to the marina to see the queens Elizabeth ship in the dock - thank you!!
we regularly sat up on the balcony to enjoy the sunsets with a glass of wine.
Thank you both for making us very welcome in your apartment.
We are sad to be going home!
You never know if we come this way again, we will certainly come to "Quinta Esperança".

I am not used to write comments on hotels. But sometimes there are exceptions... Indeed our holidays here were perfect. We were surprised of the beauty of the Quinta, because it was better than the pictures :very quiet place, nice view, traditional Quinta, bigg swimming pool... Excellent choice. It is difficult to do better.
Thank you so much to Helena and Roberto.

4 a week at the Quinta

Review Submitted: September 15, 2010 Date of Stay: September 2010
Me and my boyfriend stayed t the Quinta Esperanca in september 2010. The first thing we noticed was how cosy the house and garden looked and what a great view it had over the atlantic ocean. When we saw the flat we were even more pleased. The flat was a studio apartment perfect for two adults. The interior felt very "homie" and cosy and we really enjoyed staying in it. Everything about the Quinta Esperanca really did live up to our expectations. The location of the house was also good even though the steap streets down to town sometimes didn´t feel very appealing:) However, it did not take long to walk downtown and the old town district is very calm and interesting. Our stay in Madeira was great and we would definetely recommend the Quinta Esperanca to other visitors!
Best regards
Fanny and Erik

We stayed for a week in July and had an amazing time. As everyone says on the reviews it is gorgeous and exactly what the pictures look like. It really is extremely relaxing there. The hill can be a bit tiring but do what we did and just relax by the pool the whole time! The town is lovely to pop into for some drinks. It also has a very safe feeling the whole time we were there.
Helena & Roberto are perfect hosts and so friendly and welcoming. We couldn't suggest a better place for a quiet week away.

5 The most magical place and holiday
Katrina Surrey, England
Review Submitted: August 1, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
We stayed in Magnolia apartment in July 2010 and had one of the most amazing holidays. The apartment was to a very high standard with excellent use of space. The outside spaces and the peace of the area were what made our stay so perfect. Breakfast on the patio, overlooking the sea; lazing by the pool; afternoons on the swing chair or up on the upstairs patio. Helena was so welcoming and even prepared us a light meal for our arrival, which was very much appreciated as we had a delayed flight. The house is in the old town, which is not touristy but has some great restaurants (I recommend Jardin). You do not need a car and if you are used to exercise, can easily walk up the hills home. 3 weeks after we have come back and we still can't stop telling people how amazing this place is. Thank you so much Helena and Roberto, from Katrina and Mike
