Quinta do Bom Sucesso

We really enjoyed the place. Felt very welcomed. There is everything what you need for a stay.

None

The property was so clean and well presented. Plenty of cleaning products which is always nice. The hosts were exceptional and welcoming, with lots of unexpected treats.

There was nothing we didn’t like.

Everything! Felt like staying inside a Botanical Garden. Abel was a great host and so welcoming, he even shared with us his veg and fruits from his garden. The best avocado we ever ate. Also, there is a great sunset view from the roof top of our flat.

Nothing!

It was absolutely beautiful and we a wonderful welcoming lunch with tuna salad, fresh bread and wine. There was baskets of eggs and fruits, Madeira wine and honey cake and a fridge full of drinks. Best of all was Theresa’s delicious home made flan. We have travelled a lot but nut never experienced such generosity from hosts. The apartment itself was beautiful, tucked away in the garden surrounded by banana trees. It was so quiet that all you could here was the gentle sound of the hens pecking when we sat outside at the table. There was a rooftop terrace above the apartment which had amazing views of the Ocean and the City. The swimming pool also has wonderful view of the sea. Around the corner the are two mini markets, an artisan bread shop and a fruit and vegetable shop. There is a good bus service to Funchal and botanic gardens which were amazingly beautiful. Then we came home to Theresa’s botanic garden. Every inch is covered in vegetables, fruits and flowers. We were invited to help ourselves. One night Theresa gave us fresh runner beans from it. In January !

For winter visitors a cover over the pool at nighttime would be welcome but maybe not worth the expense or the work. It must be lovely and warm most of the year.
