  Excellent base to explore the island

  The hotel is small but very friendly. The rooms are well sized and clean. There is ample parking and being just out of Calheta and about 40 minutes from Funchal its is very peaceful. The hotel caters predominantly for German tourists and most of their literature is in german but they do make you feel very welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a small quiet hotel.

  Phantastic views an holiday feeling in a Madeira Wine garden

  Quiet german directed hotel with absolutely kindly staff, a very good breakfast, drinks and diner. Wonderful views an panorama to the Atlantic Ocean. Very nice and clean rooms. Fantastic starting point to reach several levadas for a special walk in the tropic Rainwood touched forests. Not too far away from the islands capital Funchal and very close to the overwhelming west and northwest coast. Walking boots are a "must have".

  Great!

  We were there only for lunch, but spent 2 hours, because it was so pity to leave this place. Located on a hill, beautiful view, wonderful garden, peace, quiet, friendly service and the best food we ate in Madeira. Prices are not high, especially for a such quality. Who will be in the area should visit this place. We love it!

  Fabulous Christmas Lunch

  Have visited this delightful little hotel previously for lunch, but this visit was part of a large group for Christmas lunch. The food (a set menu) was very good and there was white and red wine, sangria, juice and water included. The service considering the size of the group was excellent. What sets this little hotel apart are the friendly welcome, the stunning views and the very good prices. Its off the beaten track but we will certainly visit again.

  Functional & formulaic

  I stayed at Quinta Alegre for a couple of nights as I was doing some hiking in the area. It was different to how Id imagined it - its not the old, traditional building I expected. The hotel clearly runs to a formula, which obviously must work for their predominantly German clientele. Its a bit out on a limb, so drinking and dining options within walking distance are very limited. In fact, for many people, Id say they are non-existent. I went out for dinner on my first night to a restaurant popular with locals about a 20 minute walk away. On my second night, I ate at the hotel. As well as the generic Portuguese a la carte menu, they have a keenly priced set menu which you need to pre-order. It was a bit like something youd get at a wedding, but the quality was good. All food and drink is paid for when you leave; nothing is signed for at the time. The breakfast buffet was of the you point at it, staff plate it variety. Not my preferred pandemic option, as its difficult to get the quantities right! Hot offerings are very limited (eggs). My room was very clean, but disappointingly spartan and functional. No embellishments whatsoever. Not even a fridge. It felt cold because of the tiled floor. I asked for a kettle, which they delivered whilst I was out, but they didnt give me a cup! Hot water takes an absolute age to warm up - I had lukewarm showers every time until the day I left because I didnt give it several minutes to warm up. I felt a bit aggrieved about this because Id raised the matter with reception staff. They didnt tell me to wait an age but just said theyd send someone to look at it. I dont know if that ever happened because no one reported back to me. Toiletries are in single use packs, which rather surprised me for a hotel that boasts of its eco credentials. Wifi was so-so. The gym is pointless - just a couple of cheap machines, so dont plan on having a workout if thats your thing! One thing which bugged me was the vague hours that reception was manned. I understand that places are quiet at the moment, but the system - whatever it is - should be conveyed to guests. I was told when I arrived that the mattress in my room was new and extremely hard, but they had toppers so just to let them know if I wanted one. When I went to reception a little later to ask for one, there was no one there. Instead, there was a phone for me to call someone. As it turned out, the call went to a waitress mobile. When she eventually answered and came to see me, she told me to come back tomorrow. So I spent my first night sleeping on what felt like a slab of concrete.
