Avis sur Quinta Jardins do Lago

Good location away from the large hotels but with everything to be expected from them. Small and freindly, lovely gardens and poolside, splendid rooms, just right for our honeymoon! Will be returning!

EXCELLENT SERVICE FROM ALL STAFF / QUIET AND VERY COMFORTABLE WE WOULD HIGHLY RECCOMEND TO TRAVELERS TO MADEIRA.

We had the most amazing 3 night stay at this hotel, the room was a very generous size, the hotel had a wonderful atmosphere, the gardens were beautiful and the staff couldn't do enough for you. They also have a resident giant tortious named Columbo who is absolutely charming, I thoroughly enjoyed greeting him each day as we walked round the gardens. As for the rest of the hotel, we couldn't fault it and would love to go back. The restaurant does some lovely food, its not cheap but you would pay more in the UK for food of that quality. The bottle of red we ordered was decanted on arrival which was a lovely touch even though it was a few decrees cooler than we would have liked. There is a mini bus that the hotel put on free of charge that takes you to the town ever 15 minutes or so which is extremely convenient. They also have a lovely library and billiards room as well as a stunning pool.

Brilliant hotel with great gardens. Everything you would expect from a 5 star hotel.

Das Hotel liegt inmitten eines wunderschönesn Gartens oberhalb der Altstadt. Das Personal ist ausgesprochena aufmerksam, der Service ist sehr gut. Wir haben 10 ausgesprochen schöne Tage in dem Hotel verlebt und können es nur weiterempfehlen. Für Ausflüge oder Trips in die Altstadt empfiehlt sich aber ein Mietwagen bzw. Taxi; bis in die Altstadt ist es zwar KM-mäßig nicht sehr weit, aber der Rückweg ist sehr steil und führt durch eine Gegend, die nicht gerade sehenswert ist.

Jardin do Largo offered excellent facilities, magnificent grounds (Better than the Botanical Gardens!). Excellent staff, could not do enough for you. Excellent food, breakfast outside on the terrace was a treat. Wonderful pool area in the grounds. Positioned away from the 'Hotel' area of Funchal, quiet and peaceful, offering a free there and back shuttle service into central Funchal, though only a 15 min walk into town. Would recommend to anyone!

Have just returned from our second stay at this lovely hotel. It consistently gets 5 stars and thoroughly deserves that rating. It is set in a beautiful garden complete with 58 year old tortoise called Colombo and a lake with swans. The bedrooms are spacious and very well appointed; the public rooms, which are in the main old house, are comfortable and relaxing; the swimming pool is crystal clear and inviting; the staff are wonderfully friendly and helpful and the food excellent. It is set away from the hustle and bustle of the main part of town so has a very relaxing ambience, but there is a free shuttle bus service and taxis are plentiful and cheap so visiting or dining there does not present any problem.

Perfect hotel! Huge beautiful rooms with lovely views. Outstanding pool area and bistro - massive pool, great food, could sit there all day. Staff were friendly and attentive, breakfast good. Felt totally at ease and relaxed. Quiet residential neighbourhood, but taxi to town only €6. I expected lovely gardens but was blown away.

Le personnel est très disponible, chaleureux et courtois. Il parle le français. Il est toujours très souriant. un service irréprochable! Le petit déjeuner buffet, de grande qualité avec des fruits frais et assortiment de bons jus, est pris sur la terrasse. (somptueux!). Il est servi par un personnel souriant, calme et à nos petits soins. Les repas sont excellents et sont mis en valeur par une présentation originale des plats. La chambre est très lumineuse, spacieuse et confortable. Les meubles sont de style anglais/colonial. Elle est bien entretenue. Le jardin tropical est magnifique. Il est orné d'arbres magnifiques et d'une flore remarquable et, attention, bien étiquetée. Une belle piscine est implantée dans le jardin fleuri et exotique. Nous avons été charmés par la tortue" Colombo" de 56 ans qui se laisse caresser. La navette de l'hôtel vers le centre de Funchal (plus ou moins 15 minutes) est gratuite et le nombre de trajets est adapté en fonction du nombre de personnes. Le premier départ vers la ville est à 10H30, un peu tard pour nous. Nous avons apprécié la descente vers la ville en parcourant les petites rues. La montée est vraiment difficile. Nous avons passé un séjour de rêve au calme. Nous reviendrons.

This hotel is close to as good as it gets. Very tasteful in every way, fabulous gardens, huge pool, every service imaginable. However it's about a mile and a half up a seriously steep hill from the town of Funchal, there is a shuttle bus but you have to book it and be there on time etc. A taxi costs 6 or 7 euros, or you take a deep breathe and start climbing! They also foolishly have loud music on two nights a week, so if you don't want that in the background of your room try to get a room as far from the bar as possible. The food is top class, every meal we had was superb and the staff have first class degrees in friendliness.
