I couldn't ask for a better hotel in Madeira! Our room was huge and it had a whole kitchen in it. The bed was super comfortable with a lot of pillows which I love! The shower pressure was strong and it's a great one especially after a hike. The view is gorgeous and when we went to the restaurant for breakfast, it was sublime! One of the best we think. The staff there were also very friendly and parking was easy! We recommend this hotel!

Great staff and rooms were really nice. Looked like they had recently been remodeled or updated. Bed and sofa were a bit worn out but otherwise great. The road up to the hotel is windy and gets very narrow the closer to the top. Doable, but be ready for some driving excitement. Staff was awesome!

Beautiful setting high above the city and the crowds, right next to the cable car with a return trip to the town centre.
The rooms were spacious and had a shower [finally] to die for - great pressure; loads of hot water and spacious!
The attached restaurant was busy with people coming up on the cable car to have lunch, afternoon tea or to wander around the Botanical Gardens, the Tropical gardens or the wicker basket luge close by.
The staff were wonderful, helpful, friendly and always available.

Exceptional accommodation.

We received excellent service during our 3 day stay. The room was spotlessly clean, comfortable and quiet. The restaurant was exceptional, both for the breakfast included and for dinner in the evening. The varied menu and quality of food exceeded our expectations. The location was also excellent for travellers with a car. It was well placed to access local walks and to explore the mountains higher up. Parking was always available in the property car park during our stay in mid October.

This was a great option for us! It was far away enough from tourists but still gave us plenty of options of things to do and an amazing view. The restaurant was good and convenient, albeit a little on the expensive side, but that’s the price of convenience.
The housekeeper was incredible! Our room was spotless and all supplies were restocked each day when we came home from our tours.
Breakfast starts at 8:30am and most of the tours start at either 8:30 or 9, so it’s a bit tight but you have a refrigerator and a microwave and oven in your room, so you’re set as long as you hit up a supermarket.
The hair dryer was great. The beds were comfy enough.
You have Ubers and public transit right there since it’s such a popular location for the gondolas and the tropical garden. I loved it!
There’s a ton of walking opportunities and it’s sooo safe. I would take my kids out to walk uphill every night if they were crazy.
Overall great pick for families who stay active.

This little hidden gem is absolutely fabulous. The hotel has a very boutique, exclusive style. It's clean, beautiful, convenient, and the staff is friendly, professional, and helpful. Separate shout out to the superb restaurant, especially the breakfast. I've never seen so much delicious food, served for breakfast, that is included in the price. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

I didn't realise when booking but this hotel is in the most perfect location. Within a very short walk there are 2 fantastic cable cars, one takes you down into Funchal the other down the mountainside to a botanical garden. Around the corner you can get a toboggan 2km down the hill towards Funchal which was great fun! Again a 2 minute walk to a really stunning botanical garden and palace. For 6 euros you can get a return service bus up into the mountains for some incredible walks/views. The staff were so welcoming and helpful, we arrived late and they made us food, packed us a picnic breakfast to take up the mountain and were always on hand to answer any questions and check we were happy. I cannot recommend this place enough, it was absolutely fantastic!

Loved the boutique hotel. Situated at the top of the hill next to the cable car station and monte palace gardens. Also only a few minute walk to the wicker toboggan start point. Great staff, overall lovely stay and would stay again. One caveat, if you are planning on having a car, make sure you are comfortable driving VERY narrow, steep and winding roads.

The hotel is very clean and in a beautiful location, the room was a good size. The food was not really to our liking but there are plenty of other restaurants in Funchal. I would not recommend hiring a car if you are a nervous driver, the roads are very narrow and steep! I was disappointed by the service I received by the staff at Our Madeira who own the hotel, but the staff at the hotel itself I could not fault. Additional touches like more toiletries and comfortable pillows would make this a 5 star. We stayed in apartment 1B which I would avoid if you are a light sleeper as the hotel is right above you and can be noisy.

Lovely boutique hotel with stunning views

This is a beautiful little hotel with very kind staff. The breakfast is delicious and varied day to day. The room was spacious and well-appointed. The location is peaceful with lovely views, walking distance to the (must-see) botanical garden, and to a funicular that can take you downtown. But especially given that the funicular is pricey, the downside is having to drive up and down the hill to Funchal. Thus, we loved combining a few days at Babosas with a stay down toward the water.

From the gorgeous views to the attention to details for breakfast we were blown away. Babosas was perfect for our first international stay. Everyone treated us so special and we felt valued at every turn. Our villa was quint and clean and we enjoyed it so much! I would give it a 10 out of 10 and recommend it to anyone who is traveling to Funchal. It is located in a great spot close to the cable cars and Monte Palace ❤️❤️🌸🌸 our stay could not have gone any better!

Lovely boutique hotel on excellent location

Very good communication prior to arrival, clear instructions.
The hotel is well located in Monte area, next to the cable car and Monte Tropical Garden. Room was spacious, comfy, well maintained. Breakfast was excellent with repeating but wide choice of good quality food. The restaurant itself is excellent, we dined a few times, perfect seafood, big portions at fair prices.
The staff was more than friendly and accommodating - to mention just a few - Sonia, Hugo.
Strongly recommended, would definitely go back again

Wait staff and housekeeping were attentive/kind & the room was generally clean & nice, however it had a distinctly unpleasant smell. (My son thought it smelled like cat pee; I thought it was mildew.) While staff we met face-to-face were nice, the management company was oddly antagonistic; almost passive aggressive. Also, for a few days of our stay, the hotel was in a cloud/deep fog, whereas down in Funchal, it was generally sunny. A waiter said this was common. TBH - not great value for money.

Lovely small hotel perched above Funchal.

A lovely small hotel situated above Funchal near the main cable car station. The views over Funchal to the sea are very special. Exceptionally friendly, kind and helpful staff. The breakfast is generous and varied. We had a comfortable and well equipped suite which had its own small balcony and a patio shared with a neighbouring suite. There is a useful inexpensive bus #22 that runs from outside the hotel into Funchal. There are a couple of things to be aware of. 1. The hotel is up on the hillside - if the cloud is low, you may be in it. 2. Madeiran roads can be narrow and winding with steep gradients. This includes the route to the hotel. The property sends helpful directions but take it slowly when you approach for the first time. It becomes much easier when you get used to it.
I would happily stay at Babosas Village again.

Brilliant Stay

The hotel is very clean, & the apartment was spacious with everything we needed. The view was lovely, we enjoyed watching the cable cars going up & down. The maid even put away our washing up that we had left to dry! Unfortunately we could only have the amazing breakfast once, as it didnt start until 8.30am, when we had trips booked for the day.
Our only negative comments are the bed was firmer than we are used to, & there was a slight smell in the room, which an air freshener was doing it's best to hide.

Beautiful place, Amazing staff

We had the suite which was huge and very well equipped. The whole place was spotless and cleaned daily and all the staff we met were so helpful and friendly. The breakfast is huge and delicious and the restaurant is great for dinner too. The cable car is less than a minute walk and goes right to the seafront and the hotel is on a little square just across from a kiosk selling beer, coffee and cakes with awesome views over the valley. For the money I doubt you'd find better in all of Madeira. 2.5 days was not enough time on this beautiful island and at such a lovely hotel. Book it now, book the suite. You definitely will not regret it. I can't wait to go back. Thank you Babosas Village for such a lovely stay :)

Excellence personified!

Positive reviews from previous guests led us to book this hotel, however, no one could have prepared us for the excellence of our stay. This team is second to none in every department. The rooms are delightful, the food delicious and the staff the best we have ever encountered. To be able to sit in the patio on a sunny morning sampling the wonderful breakfasts was heavenly. Nothing was too much for the staff who looked after us as though we were family. Our room was super-clean and well-equipped and was visited each day by the house-keepers. The hotel is perfectly situated for visits to both of the island's major gardens as well as the cable car and the famous sledges. There is a levada walk on the doorstep. A regular bus service to the town leaves from the door. Being 550m above sea level it is cooler than Funchal but this is a bonus when it gets hot. Our thanks go to Ricardo and his team for a memorable stay. We hope to return to enjoy the warmth of the both the sun and the wonderful people of Madeira.

Food, hospitality and service was outstanding, and even if you are unable to stay here it is worth the ride on busses 20, 21 or 22 from Funchal just for the amazing food. If you are staying overnight then you are in for a treat with a wonderful breakfast that will last you the full day. The only downside which the hotel can not avoid are the barking dogs and noisy cockerals.

Babosas Village is located in a beautiful place, on the top of the mountain, with an amazing view. It is easy to access the capital, Funchal, using cabins or buses, so it is a perfect location. The hotel is very clean and provides you great hospitality. The hotel staff are very helpful and friendly, providing a five star quality service. Great staff!
The breakfast of hotel is amazing-a range of different types of food, fresh and very tasty and vary every morning. We also had dinner at the restaurant of the hotel. They serve very high quality food beautifully presented.

We stayed 3 days 2 nights in this beautifully located hotel. We were greeted by very helpful and friendly staff. The view from our room was beautiful. We were pleasantly surprised that the hotel was near 4 tourism attractions. The breakfast by far is the best we've had in the 9 months we've been in Portugal and the staff is very friendly.
