Quinta do Estreito Vintage House

Olde hotel but well kept up meals in the restaurant were good

Super friendly lady at Reception check in.Helpful clear explanation of facilities. The hotel spotless A bit of wear tear on room drapes and bed base but Spacious room and bathroom good shower and superb balcony views.Small dining room meant 7.30 breakfast was crowded but by 8am empty.Buffet was adequate great scram egg and typical portuguese cakes fruit etc. Pool terrace was perfect ,views overlooking hills and sea (small sauna cabin looked great did not try) The pool bar restricted hours.Oddly hotel lacks any kind of lounge or bar area to sit in apart from the terrace. I enjoyed hotel but disliked the area.Unless you have car or take taxi there is nowhere to walk outside the hotel The roads are absurdly steep narrow and pavements limited. You can walk to supermarket thats all unless you like mountain hiking.The most awkward thing about hotel is the location. My first time in Madeira so it came as surprise to me but if you know the island maybe you are familiar with this. Fortunately the local Bolt app taxi can save you money. Yellow cab to funchal was 30 euro while the bolt averaged 6 -11 euro a trip

Great stay

A lovely hotel in need of retouching, peeling paint and worn carpets. The views are all great, better to consider a 3* and you will not be disappointed.
