Portugal Adventure Vacations

The location was good

Absolutely perfect and lovely! Had a wonderful experience!

We have just had a 3 night stay at the Hotel and it was lovely. When we arrived the reception staff were very friendly and gave us a brief tour, when our room was ready we were again escorted there by a member of reception. The room was a great size with a small patio area overlooking the lush gardens. We had dinner in the restauarant on our first night, which was excellent, service was impeccable. We used the bar a couple of times, loving the idea that we got to choose our "Happy Hour", we also ate in the Bar on 2 occasions and again the food was excellent. Breakfast was very good with a great slection of food.The Hotel is very traditional and has a lot of character, we will hopefully return one day and would recommend to anyone who would like to be within 15 mins of the centre of Funchal but still stay in a "little oasis".

We had the most helpful young man help us figure out trains. He was a gem! We didn’t get his name but I think he’s a bellboy if that term is still used.

Clean room, helpful staff,good food definitely recommend

We stayed for five nights. The hotel is in a very convenient location close to the Sete Rios station where there are buses, trains and metro. The best restaurant is a few meters down the sidewalk called Napolis for a quick bite and to mingle with neighbors and watch a match. The spa is nice and services there are professional in a top notch tranquil setting. The doormen and porters work hard to please. My husband left his jacket in the Evra bar and we got it returned to our room within a few minutes. The elevators are door key operated and the first time you use them you may need help as there are no traditional buttons for up, down, and floors. Once you get used to this you appreciate the efficiency of it. Daily housekeepers visit twice, to clean and then they leave you slippers and chocolate at the turn down visit. They are very generous with bottled water and coffee pods. I had to consult You-tube how to use the in room coffee maker. I crushed a few pods and had to figure out this European machine. This hotel does have face cloths (washcloths) Americans are accustomed to, but you must request them with housekeeping and repeatedly request them since all towels are washed daily. We ran out of room supplied shower gel- it’s always a good idea to pack your showering products. It was safe in the area and we enjoyed the hotel’s shuttle that took us into Lisbon where we explored the sights. I ate an incredible sushi plate at the garden restaurant which was very impressive. Nice!
