My sister and I spent 4 nights here and it was wonderful. We were a little way from the down town but access was not an issue. Bus was right outside our door. The people were so nice and helpful. The restaurant was great. Would definitely come back.

The level of service by the staff was outstanding. The breakfasts were the best we have ever had at any hotel anywhere.
We really enjoyed our stay here at Babosas Village. Right in the middle of a bunch of attractions. The hotel was clean, the staff were all very friendly and the breakfast was great! The dinner menu was also amazing! Sonia and Joao always made us feel so welcome and helped us with anything we needed. Definitely recommend staying here !
Excellent hotel, would recommend to anyone to stay here.
The staff were amazing, very helpful and went over and above with their level of service to make the stay wonderful. Very comfortable room, magnificent views and the restaurant excelled for food and service. We look forward to visiting the hotel and the team again.
First time in Madeira and we had an amazing time. Wish we spent more than 3 days here, could have easily stayed for 2 weeks to explore. Love the location of this stay! Amazing views and beautiful place! Highly recommend.
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.
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.
This is a 5 star unique property. Rooms are perfect with nice view. The staff is awesome and make you feel at home. The restaurant of the hotel is the best we found in Madeira.

Sonia, Hugo and João were excellent as was the breakfast. The driving in the area is treacherous and very difficult if you’re renting a vehicle to access the hotel.
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.
A wonderful 4 night stay in a great location. The accommodation was all newly refurbished to a high standard and every single one of the staff was super friendly. Breakfast was a feast and we enjoyed lovely meals in the restaurant in the evening. Highly recommend.
Better than a hotel with a living room and small kitchen, that is usefull. Welcome with Madeira Wine and fresh bottle of Water every day. Good restaurant with nice terrace allowing mostly having breakfast or lunch/dinner outside.

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!
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.
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!
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.
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.

Liked: Staff & service
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.
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.
