This hotel has occupied its particularly privileged position for a full 150 years. With sweeping views over the natural amphitheatre that forms the bay of Funchal, the apartments and villas are set in a family-owned working Quinta (farm) of just 2 hectares of land featuring banana plantations, flowers and cobbled paths. The hotel is only a short distance from the centre of Funchal, and yet offers a very private sanctuary that is rarely disturbed by the bustle of the city below.
The apartment hotel has a lift and features 22 rooms. English- and French-speaking staff at the reception desk in the lobby are ready to assist you with check-in and check-out. Services such as a baggage storage service and a safe ensure a comfortable stay. Wireless internet access is provided in public areas. The tour desk offers assistance with booking excursions. Everyday necessities can be purchased at the supermarket. A garden provides extra space for rest and relaxation in the open air. Additional amenities include a TV room and a library. Guests arriving by car can park their vehicles in the garage or in the car park. Further services and facilities include a car hire service, a transfer service, room service, an alarm call service, a laundry service and a coin-operated laundry. A bicycle hire service gives guests the opportunity to explore the surrounding area independently.
Central heating and a fan ensure that rooms maintain comfortable temperatures. In most units, guests can enjoy a view of the sea from a balcony or terrace. The rooms have a double bed and a sofa bed. Separate bedrooms are available. Extra beds can be requested. There is also a safe and, for a fee, a minibar. For self-catering guests, there is a well-equipped kitchenette with a refrigerator, stovetop, microwave, tea/coffee station and oven. An ironing set is provided for guests' convenience. A direct dial telephone, a television with satellite/cable channels and WiFi (no extra charge) are provided as well. Bathrooms are equipped with a shower and a bathtub, as well as a hairdryer. Wheelchair-friendly rooms can be booked. The hotel has family rooms, non-smoking rooms and smoking rooms.
Guests can enjoy a refreshing swim in the outdoor pool area. A short break or an entire afternoon on the sun terrace, which features sun loungers and parasols, is time well spent. The hot tub in the pool area promises pure relaxation. There are many ways to relax or stay active at the hotel, including cycling/mountain biking, golf, horse riding, a gym, a spa, a solarium and hiking.
The apartment hotel includes a non-smoking restaurant and a bar. A delicious breakfast provides energy for the rest of the day.

My second stay at Quinta Mae dos Homens and was excellent again. Very light and spacious room, with well equipped kitchenette with 2 ring hob, combination microwave and fridge. A long climb up from the town, but well worth it for the views over the town and ha…
