Quinta da Casa Branca

We have just returned from our first trip to Madeira and the Quinta da Casa Branca , it is a lovely hotel set in beautiful grounds. The staff were very helpful and nothing was to much trouble. Our room was clean and spacious . We looked forward to our breakfast which was well presented and varied from day to day. We will definitely be returning.

Arriving late due to flight delays, the hotel had thoughtfully laid out some cold plates in our room as the kitchen had closed. So very much appreciated after a long journey. A sign of positive things to come. Breakfast each morning was a delight, vast spread of changing fruit and baking, as well as a cook to order selection which gave too many excellent choices. Attentive servers and constantly replenished buffet. The gardens are immaculate and varied, and almost put the official botanical gardens to shame. Sitting in a jacuzzi surrounded by growing bananas was delightful. As the weather improved during the week the gardens were visibly growing. The hotel was a quiet oasis in a busy part of town. The main noise being birdsong. I wouldn’t recommend staying here if wanting nightlife, but it’s perfect for relaxation and escapism to unwind and chill. We didn’t eat in the on site restaurants but there are lots of options close by.

Thank you team that was a wonderful stay and I now have a happy wife .Your hotel was simply gorgeous,with lovely rooms,helpful reception,very good housekeeping team.We loved the food and drink with a memorable dinner on our last night .my wife loved her spa treatment and the gardens were a treat .

Was so looking forward to going here and it didn’t disappoint. Amazing gardens food and staff. Would def go again . Rooms were really clean and comfy bed . Loved it thanks to everyone there . They brought a bottle to the room when I mentioned it was our 30 anniversary together ♥️

If you want somewhere quiet with lovely gardens and great food then this is for you! Staff are all wonderful and helpful. So why only 3 stars? Sadly it was too quiet for us, absolutely no atmosphere and nowhere to relax in a lounge with a drink and chat. The communal areas are well furnished and 4-5 star but completely devoid of any atmosphere. Ate in the standard dining room where service and food was excellent and the same in the more formal Dining Room. But after eating there is nowhere to go and relax with an after-dinner drink. So back to the pretty tired bedroom - ours was in the old wing. Perhaps the newer double storey block is better. Had a superb meal in the Dining Room and the adjacent lounge was beautifully furnished but no one else there, no music, no hear/fire. Just dead. Service and setting and garden all 5 star, rooms 3 star at best. Such a disappointment. Drinks esp wine very overpriced. Good location with restauarnts within walking distance.
