Bio Hotel - Hotel Quinta da Serra Reviews

Tranquil hiden gem beautifully setup in a quite valley.If u took a stroll at the front garden during the night , the smell of Eucalyptus is just wonderful.

Very good experience, it was a relaxing weekend and excellent for recharging energy. A welcoming and very beautiful environment

Very nice and well-kept hotel, especially the pools, which are fantastic. There is also a sauna and a small gym. The breakfast is very abundant and there are also km0 products. The location is also very good: it is about 20 minutes from Funchal. Recommended!

This is a very solid hotel. Magnificent eucalyptus trees and pool.

Everything is great

A very well managed hotel with excellent staff. Food was outstanding. We only spent one night there as we were on a hiking tour around the island but this place clearly stood out. Surely will come back!

Lovely hotel and gardens. Staying in January. No one in the hotel, no staff, no service , horribly depressing. Food! What can I say, if you want to experience strange combo, this is the place. If not run. I am 60 years old. Never wrote a review. But i though they was a first for any thing. PS Horribly expensive .

I have just returned home having enjoyed a wonderful Christmas at this unique hotel. The situation and extensive gardens are truly stunning and the staff are highly professional and helpful. The food (I was on half board) was exquisite and the five course Christmas Eve dinner was a culinary tour de force. I returned to my room following a morning walk on Christmas Day to find three presents lying in wait: a madeiran molasses cake, a box of delectable biscuits and a bottled of the Quinta da Serra's delightful home-brewed cider, a lovely touch. The relative remoteness of the hotel may not suit all, but the hotel does provide an excellant shuttle service to Funchal and the 96 bus stop is right by the hotel if you fancy a trip to the beautiful fishing village of Camara de Lobos. I also took a short taxi ride to the Boca da Corrida viewpoint above the hotel with spectacular views over the Nuns Valley. The large indoor pool, jacuzzi and sauna are also superb. A memorable holiday! Julian White

upon arrival we were informed, that due to a rally (as in with cars) on our day of departure, the roads to the hotel would be closed. They didn't have the courtesy to let us know before we arrived, so that we could decide if we wanted to change the reservation. Consequence, we would have to leave an hour earlier to be able to catch our flight. We cancelled the 2nd night because of this, but didn't get a refund for stay or dinner. Dinner on our 1st night was great and the staff there as well.

A lovely hotel in a magnificent garden. The new part has been skillfully blended with the original British Consul's residence. A bit of a steep drive to get there. Upon arrival late at night, we were greeted by a receptionist who insisted that we settle the bill right away for the 2-night stay, although we had already paid for the first night a month ahead of our trip. Reluctantly, she accepted that we wait for check out. Apart from this difficult beginning, the stay was pleasant, the dining room offered varied and copious breakfasts with a variety of exotic fruit juices, and the bedroom and bathroom were large and well maintained. The dinner at the hotel restaurant, which uses vegetables and fruit from their own organic gardens, was also pleasurable.

Great staff. Super friendly, especially the lady at reception. Amazing estate. Lovely room incl. fridge, electric kettle, slippers, bathrobe, plenty of towels, great beds. Slept like a baby and felt really good in this sanctuary. Didn't use the swimming pool, sauna or jacuzzi, looked amazing. Breakfast was great, too.

Fabulous place, peaceful, beautiful gardens, luxurious accommodation, excellent food even half board, friendly staff. Lovely pool, everything very clean and tidy. Highly recommended. Would definitely stay there again. Couldn’t ask for more.

Great looking place with lovely gardens you can walk around and enjoy. Old house (Quinta) with nice bar, library, games rooms and suites, connected to a modern building housing guest rooms and the french cusine resturant which also serves a thorough breakfast in the mornings. Also connected via an indoor passage is an Indoor pool/gym/spa. both the Restaurant and the Pool area feature lots of glass for vistas of the area and views of the gardens which also allows you to see the clouds roll over the hills. Car hire recommended for freedom, plenty of space in the car-park. Municipal buses also come to the hotel. It's possible to walk from the hotel up to some nice viewpoints and mountain trails. Very good quality hotel, only negative was that we felt the service in the restaurant could have been better as we felt like an afterthought being the latest sitting diners.

We start with chanching rooms. Then was the bar not open after diner. Parasols were not setup by the pool. There was no barman by the pool. Reception was very kind. Diner we received first a wrong menu. They have a menu for all inclusief and 'normal' diner. To exepnsive for what you get, not 5 star worthy.
