Quinta da Saraiva

We visited the Quinta during a time when they were having emergency repairs done to the pool/jacuzzi area. To their credit, the staff sent an email alerting us in advance so we could adjust our plans. Also, the goat habitat was being rebuilt while we were there so we did not get to experience the goats. However, we did meet a friendly cat, and eat some fresh bananas directly from the trees. We stayed in the Master Suite for two nights. The room was phenomenal. Very smart, trendy, clean and with a large balcony and a kitchen. The bed was our favorite of the three hotels we stayed at in Madeira. Who should stay at this hotel: hikers who plan to do their own, light cooking. The terrain is steep in every direction. The drive to the parking lot is also steep and extremely narrow, so if you bring a car, make sure it's a small one. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the inclusive breakfast was good, though I wouldn't miss a morning hike for its limited hours (starts at 8:30). What stood out for me, was the hotel's great communication during a challenging moment for them. Overall, a great value for the price point.

Beautiful facility with the nicest and most helpful staff. We got a room with a balcony facing the swimming pool. The room has such a nice decor and we felt that it was roomy with 2 balconies. Breakfast was a highlight of everyday. We enjoyed the great variety of food and it was also great eating by the swimming pool. Don’t forget to ask for a tour of their facility and spend sometime with their residence goats and cat. Nelly our housekeeper was the sweetest as well as the ladies at the front desk. Wonderful boutique hotel. I miss it dearly.

Great place to stay
