The location is great, right in the old town area next to lots of restaurants and bars but not too close that it is noisy. Has a real traditional feel as it is an old building beautifully kept maintaining a unique position in the old town next to an equally old church who’s bells still ring out. You feel you are on holiday staying here. And well, what can I say about the staff and owner Grace. What a great friendly bunch of people, truly authentic and could not do enough. Augustino driving us from and to the Airport and providing local knowledge, bus timetable etc. Fabiano, really nice host and breakfast chef. Grace, could not do enough and helped accommodate us when we returned after flights were cancelled, joined us for chats at breakfast and felt like she had invited us into her home for a few days. Thank you all for making our holiday so good.

Nothing it was a fantastic place

The room was very spacious and colourful with a living room and TV. Very nice views. Beautiful old house. Location is at the edge of the centre, but only a short walk to bars/restaurants. There is a natural swimming pool just outside which costs 5.70 euros. Staff were friendly and responsive online. There is a little fridge with drinks for your convenience (but not free of charge which I did not realise as it is not a hotel).

Unfortunately there is a bar outside which has music on till midnight on a Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I could still hear the noise with the windows closed and earplugs. Not convenient for early hikes at the weekend. The church just outside the window is pretty, but also pretty noisy and goes off hourly from 8am till 8pm. So no sleeping in and no naps in the afternoon. Best to plan early hikes during the week only. If you are sensitive to noise for sleep, this might not be your best fit.

We loved everything about the property The location is perfect in the old town surrounded by restaurants and bars. The Guesthouse itself has so much charm and history that really add to the experience The host Grace is so warm and inviting that it really felt like we were visiting family or friends Also due to issues with our flight we did not arrive until 2am and Daniel the manager met us at the airport and delivered us safely to what he quite rightly described as paradise Having the garden at the back of the property to relax in is another bonus and the water views from our room on the second floor were magical

Leaving 😔

This is a really beautifully located and authentic guesthouse, right opposite the sea and in the old quarter of the city. Everything is conveniently located within a few minutes walk ; public transport, tours, cable car, any number of great restaurants and as others have said a very handy and scenic bar just a few meters away. If that is not enough, you have a wonderful host in Fabiano whose smiling face and 'the best scrambled eggs' in Madeira greet you each morning. He is just one of the nicest and most helpful people you could ever meet. Thanks Fabiano!!

We really enjoyed our stay but would recommend a bit of updating of the beds.

Impeccable location for walkability of Funchal and the building has a lot of charm and character. Ended up staying in both the balcony suite and the top floor room as there were a couple of hiccups with plumbing renovations, which were handled quickly and made up for. Special thanks to Andy who is lovely. Definitely worth going for that top floor if you can as it's gorgeous, the views and the enclosed balcony are dreamy. Very comfy beds in each, the other rooms are fairly no frills but arguably good value for a comfy bed in such a convenient picturesque location.

Great location near to the cable car that goes up to the gardens at Monte, near to restaurants to suit all budgets and just a 20 minute walk from shops, theatre, parks etc My room was fab with a wrap around terrace giving me glorious views of the mountains and a side view of the ocean. The house has a peaceful garden with colourful flowers - and banana plants. It is carefully tended and watered. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. The owner, Grace, happened to be there throughout my stay as she was masterminding the refurbishment of the Tower Room (which is going to be superb by the way). The guest house has been in her family for two generations and it was fascinating to learn more about the house I was staying in.

I didn't like having to leave and return to the UK.

Absolutely charming place and wonderful hosts! I spent a week at the guesthouse and had a great time, meeting lovely people to chat with over delicious breakfast that catered to all my dietary needs. I received plenty of tips on sightseeing, driving, and things worth trying. Daniel kindly assisted me with language while organizing whale watching. My room was clean, equipped with all necessary amenities (fridge, TV), with a view of the charming church and, of course, the ocean. I happily recommend it and can't wait to return :)

All was great

Amazing location with the best view in Funchal (we stayed on the top floor). You could see the ocean, mountains, and the city all at once. There is a very nice bar and beach right next to the hotel. The hotel itself is charming, filled with antique furniture.

The only 1 thing is that the towels were not fresh but we were able to change them on a daily basis.

The room was lovely and very spacious, with everything we needed for a few nights in Funchal. We had a balcony overlooking the sea and the cobbled street (all lit up for Christmas when we were there!) which I would recommend. The location is ideal for walking to plenty of restaurants and bars in Funchal. We had a hire car and although the streets are very narrow we managed to navigate a Jeep to the front door of the property where there was enough street parking. Fabiano And the team were really warm, enthusiastic and welcoming including emailing us a list of their local recommendations. Above and beyond hosting! Would absolutely stay here again for visiting Funchal.

The employee from the Guesthouse they are amazing, they are helping with anything you need, they are respectful and kind every day. The Guestesthouse it's very clean and quiet, and it's in a very good location. There is a nice place to swim just 2 minutes, and the parking is 4 min from the house. I love this place and I highly Recommended!
