Quintinha Sao Joao

Overall excellent, The staff were wonderful and the standard of service was the best I've encountered for decades.

An exceptional hotel that prides itself on the extra touches. There is an English information lady on site to answer any questions. The gardens and building are exceptional and the food is first class. Although not in city centre this is compensated by a courtesy coach to city each day. Lots of little extras like choose the times for your happy hour drinks and themed restaurant evenings. The staff are always willing to go the extra mile for your comfort. My only minor criticism is that there is no tea/coffee making facilities in the room but tea/coffee is available in the restaurant for breakfast and breakfast is always included in the room rate. The only other observation is that it would be useful if there was a list of the English channels numbers on the TVs in the room as it took a long time to scroll through all the channels before I came to Channel 55-60 which were English news. However we travel very often and this is the best hotel that I have stayed in for a very long while. Well done

Lovely hotel with lovely staff.

What's not to like? This place was perfect and the staff was friendly, helpful, and superb in every way. The breakfasts were delicious and very generous, and rendered lunch as unnecessary. It's always a great start to walk into a well regarded hotel to find the room *larger* than expected. We never tired of the view from the room, and loved the gardens, would have spent more time enjoying them if there were not so many enjoyable things to do on Madeira. If someone from Quintinha de São João reads this review, please allow me to say "Obrigado!" once again.

Slight walk into town but no problem if you avoid the main roads. Tranquil and peaceful place to stay with very attentive staff who clearly tale pride in their work.
