It offers you a total quiet, calm and peaceful holiday. Please note it is part of the city and cities are alive, meaning you can also have any kind of noises like traffic, works going on, etc, but totally out of our hand.Normally we don't. With beautiful gardens, lots of fruit trees (bananas, avocates, mangos, figs) and local plants, you can enjoy the typical Madeira environment in a traditional Quinta. ORCHID is an open plan placed up on the top floor of the building acessed only by some spiral stairs (make sure you are well fitted to access the 2nd floor). It is beautifully decorated, very private and enjoys a magnificent view over the harbor and the whole city of Funchal. It is accessed by some spiral exterior stairs, so you must be sure you are well fitted to get up there through some stairs. Inside, you will find a large apartment (open space) with bedroom area, loundge, en-suite bathroom with modern glass windows, a fully equipped kitchinet and a fantastic private balcony for your meals while enjoying the view. Orchid is the only apartment located upstairs by the terrace but separated with some closed doors, so totally private. We offer only 5 apartments at the Quinta with a lot of privacy for each of them. They are all very nice, comfortable and well equipped as Orchid is. They all enjoy view over the sea and gardens and a lot of privacy. The pool is open all year round and during all day. Parking is free on the road, right in front of the property. Bus stop is just there by our gate for your comfort. Walking down the road is very easy but steep roads, coming back better to take a bus or taxi which is only € 5 to 7€. The best bakery in Funchal is around the corner and also a very nice supermarket with fresh fruits and vegetables produced by locals. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool ### Internet -

It is a beautiful old characterful house with lovely gardens but with modern facilities in the studio. It is easy to get into Funchal and enjoy all the city has to offer. We loved to return back to our terrace after dinner to watch the lights come on across the city as darkness fell. ##### Michael F. Stayed 12 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vicky G.

Amazing view to while away your time with a book and booze. My favourite area of the Quinta was the relaxing large shared seating area great for whatever the weather. Lovely gardens and pool. Will be staying again. Visit to the local bakery Mariazinha is a must. ##### Vicky G. Stayed 7 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff W.

We very much liked the area being a little away from the main tourist zones but we like to walk. Hosts and staff all very lovely and helpful. We were two floors up via a metal exterior spiral staircase, we rather liked it and it is well mentioned in the advert but it would not be suitable for everyone. Mattress was rather hard and we did not get used to it after 2 weeks. Swimming pool is wonderful and if we are back in Funchal we would try and book the same place again. Very pleased we did not stay in the Lido area as to us it is vastly over developed. ##### Jeff W. Stayed 14 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### phil l.

Lots of homely touches. So glad we found this place, we loved it here and cant wait to go back. Worth mentioning is that the walk into town is 20 mins downhill and a steep walk back but the bus stops right outside the gate and taxi's are b/w 5 & 10 euro's depending on who you get. The access to the apt is via a spiral staircase which we loved but worth considering. Helena was so helpful and we knew she was contactable if we'd needed her. 10/10. ##### phil l.

The Quinta is a wonderful property in which we felt very comfortable during the two weeks of our stay. You can walk in 15-20 Minutes into town or the harbor and enjoy everything the city has to offer. We only discovered how important this is during the course of our vacation. There are hardly any places on the island with a larger town center. The houses are rather scattered on the slopes and the route to the nearest restaurant or to the sea etc. can be quite long. So if you want to enjoy the island's landscape together with the infrastructure of the old town of Funchal, this is the place for you. ##### Hans S.

The apartment is part of an original 19th century Quinta with beautiful gardens and large swimming pool which is being lovingly restored by our brilliant hosts Helena & Roberto who were so helpful in every way even organising our airport transfers, trips out and restaurant recommendations. The apartment/Quinta is only a 15 minute walk to the town of Funchal with all of its bars, restaurants, shops and many other attractions. If walking is not for you then there is a bus stop in front of the Quinta with regular buses to take you to and from the town and a plethora of taxis also available. We enjoyed visiting the town and cable car to the botanical gardens plus a whale watching boat trip and mountain walks but we also enjoyed chilling around the beautiful large swimming pool which we had to ourselves most of the time. Overall we have enjoyed a perfect holiday in a perfect apartment and setting with perfect hosts. Thank you Helena & Roberto for making our stay so enjoyable and relaxing we shall return. ##### Shaun & Angela T. Stayed 14 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anca I.

After long days exploring the island, we always looked forward to coming back to our oasis and relaxing on the terrace! The grounds are beautiful and well cared for. Very easy parking if you rent a car. The walk into old town is only 20 minutes (all downhill). Very easy to catch a bus or Bolt if you don't want to walk back up the hill! The host, Helena, was excellent and made us feel very welcome and at home throughout our stay. If you want an authentic, intimate experience and prime location, then this is the place! ##### Scott B. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kiffy M. Oct 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Quinta Esperanca is an absolutely wonderful find! Set in truly beautiful gardens with a fabulous, uncrowded pool, the room is airy and comfortable with a small, useable kitchenette. The showstopper though, is the balcony and the fantastically wide view down to the harbour. It’s amazing at all times of the day! The hosts have a vision for the Quinta and we loved being part of their journey to refurbish the whole property. It is a unique place; although the photos show the view, they can’t capture the special ambiance. It is a very steep walk into town and back (about 20 mins each way). There is a bus stop outside the Quinta but we didn’t find it ran regularly enough to be useful. The walk into town was manageable and enjoyable for us in any case and we were able to explore Funchal fully on foot from the apartment. Apart from the bakery and a small supermarket, everything else is down by the harbour in the town centre. Martim gave us lots of good advice re trips and recommendations which we followed; the Jeep safari was fantastic and downloading the Bolt app enabled us to see around the island and saved us having to hire a car. One word of caution- the upstairs room is only accessible by a very steep outside spiral staircase. Not a problem for us but it’s worth knowing in advance! Would we come back to the Quinta? Yes, in a heartbeat! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e274a41b-1bf7-4d23-96c6-13e548c046ec-1759409920819.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b30c5001-3a59-4af0-8ea6-e69baa659262-1759409936829.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/831cf139-e583-410b-bbe7-bf6a87ce1738-1759409956768.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2a70e3a2-37d3-4bca-813d-663fac2e9552-1759409975890.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kiffy M.

I had a fantastic stay at this beautiful Quinta. The garden alone would be worth a rave review. The pool is wonderful and I had it to myself. Even fully booked there are few other guest, all friendly enjoying the privacy. My private balcony was like an extra room where I spend whole evenings. The weather is so agreeable that I slept with open doors and could see the ocean from my comfortable bed. The apartment is lovingly put together with fine wooden furniture and well equipped. The whole situation is excellent. You have view of Funchal bay with the busy hotel complexes far away. Yet the walk into town is quick (if you don't want to wait for the bus that stops right and front of the building) and the grocery and bakery around the corner will set you up with anything you need. I would love to go there again in a heartbeat! ##### Susanne R. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### lasry p.

Le balcon est très agréable avec une très belle vue, c'est très calme au sein d'une résidence jolie et une belle piscine. L'accueil est excellent. à environ 10/15 minutes à pied de la vieille ville de Funchal. Facile de se garer à côté. La seule chose est que ce n'est pas adapté pour des personnes âgées avec une forte montée depuis la mer et un escalier en colimaçon. Nous avons passé un très bon moment. ##### lasry p.

Die Anlage (großer Garten und Swimmingpool) und die Unterkunft (Ausstattung) sind in in einem guten bis sehr gutem Zustand. Wir hatten das enorme Glück, ein Apartment im 2\. OG zu erhalten und konnten somit schon zum Frühstück und Abendessen (Selbstversorgung) den herrlichen Ausblick auf den Hafen und die Innenstadt von Funchal genießen. Nur das Bett bzw. die Matratze bedürfen einer Überholung (die Springfedern sind deutlich zu spüren). Die Kommunikation kann ebenfalls verbessert werden: die genaue Hausnummer mussten wir selbst herausfinden. Die Bushaltestelle um die Ecke ist seit 15.03.2023 wegen Straßenarbeiten weiter oben b.a.w. außer Betrieb. Eine Bitte um Toilettenpapier wurde ignoriert und die Frage unserer Vermieterin nach unseren Reisedokumenten 3 Tage nach dem Einchecken hätte auch im Vorfeld geklärt werden können. Trotzdem würden wir erneut buchen! ##### Dietrich Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bob C. Jun 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovingly restored Quinta in quiet setting yet close to Old Town The spacious apartment is located on the first floor of a beautifully restored Quinta set just above the Old Town in Funchal. The house stands in it's own private,well kept gardens with swimming pool available for the use of guests.There are 3 other apartments located in the Quinta but all on the ground floor and all private from each other so whichever one you choose you will still have a unique stay.The Orchid apartment is accessed via the original cast iron spiral staircase which leads on to a communal terrace with fabulous views of the bay.The apartment is then up a few more steps to it's own private balcony.There are 2 original wooden shuttered french doors leading in to the apartment which in itself is very nicely furnished with solid wooden floor,kitchenette,dining table and very comfortable king size bed.There is a good sized shower room leading off from the main room.There is everything you need for self catering if you wish including a 2 ring cooker,microwave,kettle,toaster,coffee machine and a large fridge freezer .There is strong wi-fi and tv with cable channels and netflix if that's your thing.There is a bus stop immediately outside the gate which goes into Funchal (5 mins) or up to the botanical gardens (10 mins). It is located on a hill but then again most places are in Funchal.We walked in and out of the centre most days but the bus is a great option if the climb back is a bit steep .There is an excellent bakery and cafe plus small shop just 5 mins walk away. Helena is a great host and can organise various trips for you all of which are detailed in the room.I strongly recommend the House tour which includes High Tea on the terrace which was wonderful. The Quinta was previously used as a hotel in the 1920’s and Helena has ensured that the restoration work carried out has retained it’s character perfectly.It is the complete opposite of the concrete jungle that continues to grow in the hotel zone to the west of Funchal and is so much better as a result. The guest book in the room has many reviews from repeat guests which I always think is the best recommendation you can get. If you are looking for a peaceful place to stay with genuine character,stunning views and yet still close to the centre I honestly don’t think you’ll find anything better.We shall certainly return. ##### Bob C.

It is a quiet paradise away from the streams of tourists, but located close enough to the centre and the old town with many restaurants. ##### Rainer H.

Jun 4, 2017 #### A great place to spend holidays A well-tended park welcomes behind a big iron gate leading to a manor house and passing a nice swimming pool. Wrought-iron corkscrew stairs bring up to the apartment Orchid on the second floor. The perfect view on downtown Funchal and the harbor invites to stay on the little covered terrace before stepping into a charming 1-room apartment lovingly decorated. There is a large and comfortable bed and a big wardrobe. The bathroom is new and just perfect. The kitchenette contains all one needs. Three large windows one of which opens to a little balcony perfectly match the plastered white ceiling decorated with an appealing lustre. Cable-TV provides many foreign programs, and there is a WLAN router in the apartment enabling very strong and stable Internet-access. The Quinta Esperanza is just a 15min walk away from downtown Funchal and a bus stop at the gate provides additional comfort. Finally, he landlords, Helena and Roberto are genial, personable and their hospitality is just great! ##### Rainer Z.

This is a fresh listing to this site but a well established property. Apologies for the quotation from Elizabeth Barrett Browning but I have stayed in this apartment the last four Christmas periods and the poem sums it up beautifully. I have come to know the owners very well and they will do all they can to make your stay special without being intrusive. A house stood on this site for several centuries before the Quinta was built so it stands in beautiful private grounds with fabulous views. Orchid apartment is on the second floor accessed by an exterior spiral staircase so not appropriate if you are disabled. However I am a pensioner and manage the climb perfectly well albeit slowly, the reward being the stunning views from the private verandah. As you can see from the photographs this is a spacious studio apartment with a modern bathroom containing a good size shower. I enjoy the way that original features have been retained providing modern facilities yet something more satisfying than an impersonal hotel room. There is a bus stop outside the gates convenient for going both into town and directly up to the botanical gardens. The Quinta is to the east of Funchal in a residential area yet within easy reach of the picturesque Old Town with its restaurants, shops and the marina. It is well away from the busy hotel zone if something more relaxed is your preference with a small store and coffee shop within walking distance for breakfast rolls etc. ##### Kathleen B. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Dreams Madeira Resort Spa & Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/Machico-Hotels-Dreams-Madeira-Resort-Spa-Marina.h6141723.Hotel-Information) > > [Calheta Beach - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Calheta-Hotels-Calheta-Beach-All-Inclusive-Savoy-Signature.h1056570.Hotel-Information) > > [ Saccharum Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Calheta-Hotels-Saccharum-Resort-Spa-Savoy-Signature.h10225046.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Tortuguero](https://www.expedia.ca/Tortuguero-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6050263-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Quinta Pereira ... beautiful panoramic views and ocean sunsets ](https://www.expedia.ca/Calheta-Hotels-Quinta-Pereira-Beautiful-Panoramic-Views-And-Ocean-Sunsets.h32628592.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Quinta Perestrello](https://www.expedia.ca/Funchal-Hotels-Pestana-Quinta-Do-Perestrello.h113151431.Hotel-Information) > > [Babosas Village by Our Madeira](https://www.expedia.ca/Funchal-Hotels-Babosas-Village-By-Our-Madeira.h27299831.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Camelia Boutique House](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Villa-Camelia-Boutique-House.h99849873.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Orca Praia – Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Funchal-Hotels-Hotel-Orca-Praia.h2244365.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Baleira Porto Santo](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Santo-Hotels-Vila-Baleira-Porto-Santo.h1066341.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Royal All Inclusive Ocean & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Funchal-Hotels-Pestana-Royal-Premium-All-Inclusive-Ocean-Spa-Resort.h487421.Hotel-Information) > > [2 bedroom Villa , Santa Cruz , Madeira Island, Portugal](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-2-Bedroom-Villa.h27116485.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Madeira - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Palace-Madeira.h4813351.Hotel-Information) > > [Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Bethesda-Hotels-Bethesda-North-Marriott-Hotel-Conference-Center.h1100230.Hotel-Information) > > [Miami River Inn By Renzzi](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Miami-River-Inn.h35294091.Hotel-Information) > > [Vidamar Resort Madeira](https://www.expedia.ca/Funchal-Hotels-Vidamar-Resort-Madeira-Dining-Around.h519967.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Gale Santa Cruz Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Vila-Gale-Santa-Cruz.h1376009.Hotel-Information) > > [Madalena Sunset by Madeira Sun Travel](https://www.expedia.ca/Ponta-Do-Sol-Hotels-Madalena-Sunset-By-Madeira-Sun-Travel.h72123720.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Buffalo (BUF) to Nashville (BNA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/buf/bna/buffalo-to-nashville) > > [Flights from Chek Lap Kok (HKG) to Beijing (PEK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/hkg/pek/hong-kong-to-beijing) > > [Flights from Kalibo (KLO) to Parañaque (MNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/klo/mnl/kalibo-to-manila) > > [Flights from Parañaque (MNL) to Calbayog (CYP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mnl/cyp/manila-to-calbayog) ### Activities ### Packages > [Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Bill-Baggs-Cape-Florida-State-Park-Key-Biscayne.d507418.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Calangute Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Calangute-Beach-Calangute.d6074906.Vacation-Attraction) ### General
