Ana Bela and her husband are great hosts, very friendly. We were welcomed with a small glass of Madeira wine and Ana Bela gave us some information on where to check the weather, good restaurants, taxi companies etc. We accidentally booked the apartment which was meant for 4 people (we were only 2). The view is amazing, the location is very peaceful. For 1 morning we booked breakfast for 12 eu per person. Ana Bela made everything fresh that morning, there was fresh tasty fruit and we could choose how we wanted our eggs. Ana Bela was kind enough to call a cab for us for our trip back to the airport, since this was really early in the morning. Would definitely recommend.

The only tiny thing is that We stayed here for the last couple of days of our trip to Madeira and there weren't really restaurants on walking distance and it also wasn't possible to order a Bolt (service like Uber), so we really had to use our car to go to a restaurant at night. It wasn't really a problem for us but might be good to take into account. Especially compared to the beautiful view and peaceful surrounding, we didn't care at all about this minor inconvenience.

Very kind hosts, good location for trips all over Madeira, spacious and well equipped apartment. Nice view on the ocean. We could sleep very well, because it was quiet and the beds were comfortable. Can only recommend this place. When we come back to Madeira we will certainly stay here.

My husband and I recently spent 4 nights in this accommodation and we were so satisfied with our visit! Both the bedroom and bathroom are generously sized, with plenty of space for storage and also to move around. The sitting room to the side of the bedroom offers a place to unwind after a day of hiking or sightseeing. The little balcony is a good place to take in the fabulous view of the village. All linen and towels were clean and in great shape. Good water pressure in the shower and the water temperature was usually good, although my husband said it was not as warm on one of the nights. Breakfast included a selection of different fruits and bakery items every day, as well as any style of eggs desired. We didn't get a chance to use the pool, but it looked splendid and clean. The grounds for the house are really inviting -- the breakfast area is really inviting and peaceful. A lot of good information about the island was provided upon check-in, as well as in the room (where to find weather information, where to dine out, etc.) On-site parking was very handy, as the location is removed from the city center, and a short distance uphill off of the highway. (Would highly recommend having your own rental car, as it just offers a lot of flexibility). Lastly, the owners, Duarte and Anna, are very kind, generous with their time, information and recommendations. We really enjoyed talking to them about this island since it was our first time here. We also really enjoyed talking to the young woman who hosts the breakfast area. (She gave us tips on the beaches and things to do in Funchal.) We would absolutely recommend a stay here!!

Perhaps the only thing I missed was not being able to open the windows at night because of the mosquitos, but it's understandable. (It was so nice to hear the goats and chickens from nearby in the morning!) The wooden floor can be noisy so we found easier to walk around in socks or barefoot.

The property is located in a picturesque place, the nature is amazing, I’ve never seen anything quite like it. I’ve travelled a lot and I can say that this is one of the top 3 places I’ve ever stayed at. Everything is made with love, very personal and lovely. The owner Duardo helped us a lot, we are especially thankful when he went and got medicine from the farmacy one day when we caught a stomach flu (probably on the plane on the way to Madeira). He also recommended us places to visit - we ended up having a lot of fun following his recommendations. The place is very tranquil, very aesthetically build and has pretty much everything for a nice getaway.

This is not a minus, but it’s just necessary to have a car up there otherwise it’s hard to go anywhere.

Very well located apartment, really nice view by the sea Clean space, kitchen fully equipped with the basics . Great breakfast with an excellent view I definitely recommend it

It is difficult to find words to describe the excellence of this place and the kindness of the hosts. If someone asked me where is the most amazing place I have stayed during my travels, this place would definitely be mentioned. I will definitely be back!

The room was amazing - so beautiful with amazing views and it was huge. Loved the proper kettle and great walk in shower. We will definitely be back.

We could have seen more of the area if we’d hired a car but for 4 days we felt that we were ok without a car

A special place! With stunning sea views and incredibly friendly hosts! We recommend a delicious, homemade breakfast and ask the owner for local places/specialities .

This is an exceptional place to stay. The family that runs it is gracious, kind and helpful. The building is really beautiful and spacious. Breakfast al fresco was a treat. There is a lovely swimming pool for cooling off and the view from the property is wonderful. There are two interesting restaurants within walking distance. I did many lovely walks up and down the hills.

Visitors will need a car as it is about 10 kilometres from Funchal and off the main road. However there is excellent private parking.

Duarte and Isabella are the most kind and helpful host. The accomodation is beautiful, nice garden and great pool with a fantastic view. Very well located, with a parking spot. Delicious breakfast every morning :) Thanks for everything!!

Clean. Beautiful view. Near restaurants. Friendly staff. Pool and secured parking

It was all good

The hotel and rooms are very clean and feel luxurious. The owners are extremely hospitable and we felt really welcome.

The fact that we had two separate beds and not 1 kingsize bed. also another (but small) downside was that it was really noisy and echoing inside the room because of the high ceilings. other than that, I would highly recommend this place to everyone!

Wonderfully friendly hosts, helpful, with lots of good advice for trips, restaurants, etc

The Quinta is absolutely beautiful with amazing views. We stayed in a King room which included a large sitting room in addition to the bedroom and a huge bathroom. It was very comfortable and pristine! We had a car and enjoyed the location away from the hustle of Funchal and appreciated the on site parking. The breakfast was sufficient and included fresh fruit and avocados from the grounds. The gracious owners Ana Bela and Duarte are truly what set this inn apart however! They are both incredibly helpful and welcoming. Duarte is a structural engineer who helped build Madeira's amazing infrastructure (150 tunnels drilled through the volcanic mountain and and an airport runway built over the ocean). He is very interesting to talk to and very knowledgeable about the island and it's offerings. He happily offered recommendations for restaurants, hikes, activities and parking in Funchal! We loved our stay at Quinta Pacos do Lago and we hope to return in the future!

We loved everything about this hotel!

Wonderful place. Everything was perfect - hosts, location, house, room, recommendations for tours and restaurants, breakfast

Nothing to improve

This was a wonderful choice for our stay our week in Maderia, which threw everything it had at us including an earthquake (which our room handled perfectly). The breakfast was a great start to each day, the room was comfortable and spacious, and our hosts couldn't have been any more accommodating. The location is also perfect for anyone that wants to be close to the island's most beautiful sites. We arrived at our room very late, and Duarte was there to greet us.

The only improvement we can think of is we would have preferred a single queen bed instead of two single ones pushed together.

Our room was larger than expected and the same applies to the bathroom. The wet area was enormous. The whole with nice floors and high ceiling's. We didn't have breakfast at the property by our own choice but all looked pristine around us and our very large room had great views of sunset over sea and mountain.

I didn't like the fact that I could not stay much longer and that this place doesn't belong to me.

Fantastic view into the valley and to the ocean. The hosts very heartly, everything absolutely comfortable.

Great views, lovely rooms

great view, neat and clean, everything was wonderfully prepared, the locations was very quiet too, and close to a really nice restaurant that served a great Espetada.

Friendly, lovely and so classy!

Incredibly caring and friendly hosts, giving the best advice and hints for the island The breakfast was amazing, including fresh avocados and delicious fruit salad with fruit from the garden The studio was comfortable with a perfect sea view

- hosts are very welcoming and you can tell, that they like what they do; they give great recommendations for restaurants and things to do around the island - breakfast was very very good (a small variety but very fresh, high quality and good food, including fresh fruitsalad and avocados from their own garden) - rooms are very spacious and very clean - the quinta is a real jewel - no disturbing traffic noise at night - good restaurant just 1 minute walk away - good WLAN

Specious, clean apartment with superb view from the terrace. Very friendly hosts always available to help and have a chat, not only about Madera:)

The location, the rooms and the view are fantastic. Easy to reach and in a perfect position to explore Madeira. Ana Bela and Duarte are very nice and helpfull with lots of informations on what to do and where to go. We had a lovely stay!

Excellent breakfast, amazing views, comfortable rooms - but most of all,. Duarte and Ana Bela were excellent hosts. They went out of their way with recommendations and were so friendly and welcoming throughout our trip. We were sorry to leave! Highly recommend.

Nothing - all excellent.

One of the best places you can find in Madeira and we know Madeira very well after 4 times! Central situation. All looks also brand new. Nice owners.

Really nothing!
