About this apartment rental
Located in Funchal Quinta Esperança, a very big traditional house has been one of the first Hotels back in 1920s. It offers you a total quiet, calm and peaceful holiday. Please note it is part of the city and cities are alive, meaning you can also have any kind of noises like traffic, works going on, etc, but totally out of our hand.Normally we don't.
With beautiful gardens, lots of fruit trees (bananas, avocates, mangos, figs) and local plants, you can enjoy the typical Madeira environment in a traditional Quinta.
ORCHID is an open plan placed up on the top floor of the building acessed only by some spiral stairs (make sure you are well fitted to access the 2nd floor). It is beautifully decorated, very private and enjoys a magnificent view over the harbor and the whole city of Funchal. It is accessed by some spiral exterior stairs, so you must be sure you are well fitted to get up there through some stairs.
Inside, you will find a large apartment (open space) with bedroom area, loundge, en-suite bathroom with modern glass windows, a fully equipped kitchinet and a fantastic private balcony for your meals while enjoying the view.
Orchid is the only apartment located upstairs by the terrace but separated with some closed doors, so totally private.
We offer only 5 apartments at the Quinta with a lot of privacy for each of them.
They are all very nice, comfortable and well equipped as Orchid is. They all enjoy view over the sea and gardens and a lot of privacy.
The pool is open all year round and during all day.
Parking is free on the road, right in front of the property. Bus stop is just there by our gate for your comfort. Walking down the road is very easy but steep roads, coming back better to take a bus or taxi which is only € 5 to 7€.
The best bakery in Funchal is around the corner and also a very nice supermarket with fresh fruits and vegetables produced by locals.

Everything was wonderful. We loved it.

Quinta Esperanca is an absolutely wonderful find! Set in truly beautiful gardens with a fabulous, uncrowded pool, the room is airy and comfortable with a small, useable kitchenette. The showstopper though, is the balcony and the fantastically wide view down to the harbour. It’s amazing at all times of the day! The hosts have a vision for the Quinta and we loved being part of their journey to refurbish the whole property. It is a unique place; although the photos show the view, they can’t capture the special ambiance. It is a very steep walk into town and back (about 20 mins each way). There is a bus stop outside the Quinta but we didn’t find it ran regularly enough to be useful. The walk into town was manageable and enjoyable for us in any case and we were able to explore Funchal fully on foot from the apartment. Apart from the bakery and a small supermarket, everything else is down by the harbour in the town centre. Martim gave us lots of good advice re trips and recommendations which we followed; the Jeep safari was fantastic and downloading the Bolt app enabled us to see around the island and saved us having to hire a car. One word of caution- the upstairs room is only accessible by a very steep outside spiral staircase. Not a problem for us but it’s worth knowing in advance! Would we come back to the Quinta? Yes, in a heartbeat!

Quinta Esperanca is very special. It is a beautiful old characterful house with lovely gardens but with modern facilities in the studio. It is easy to get into Funchal and enjoy all the city has to offer. We loved to return back to our terrace after dinner to watch the lights come on across the city as darkness fell.
