We had a fantastic stay at Quinta da Bom Sucesso. The booking was easy. Edgar provided quick responses and good information. Abel met us and showed us around. There was a great supply of fruit and vegetables, ham, cheese, eggs, bread and drinks. Also, Teresa's delicious passion fruit pudding which was the nicest dessert I tasted on the holiday. Abel invited us to pick salad and vegetables from the garden too. The apartment was perfect for the 2 of us. There was lots of toiletries provided. It is very well kitted out. Even capsules were provided for the Nespresso machine. The pool is nice. There is a lovely view over Funchal. The walk down to the old town is fine. We only walked back up the hill once. Taxis recommended. Only €7 or 8 from the rank beside the electricity museum. Madeira is a beautiful island but the holiday wouldn't have been so special if we had stayed elsewhere. Our hosts were very helpful and very friendly without being at all intrusive. Would love to return, perhaps to see the New Year fireworks next time.

This was our third stay here and we could not fault the experience. The hosts, Abel and Theresa are lovely people, who could not be more helpful. They provide the most generous welcome pack which includes fresh fruit and vegetables from their gardens, fresh eggs and a selection of drinks and other produce. The apartment we stayed in was very clean, spacious for 2 people and well equipped. The outside area had sun beds, seating for alfresco dining and enjoys fantastic views over the Atlantic and the city. The house and gardens are beautiful and well maintained, there is also a swimming pool for a refreshing dip. We would not hesitate in recommending the Quinta to anyone and our only downside was we did not book long enough!

Tout d’abord un grand merci à Abel et Teresa pour leur accueil chaleureux et leur présence discrète.La location est bien située non loin du centre de Funchall avec une vue panoramique sur le port et ses alentours ,à proximité des arrêts de bus,et à 500 m des petits commerces.Dans la location,nous disposions de tout le nécessaire pour notre séjour et nous avons particulièrement apprécié les délicates attentions à notre arrivée et au cours du séjour et aussi la possibilité de bénéficier d’oeufs,de fruits et légumes frais du beau jardin.Nous avons bien profité du jardin arboré et fleuri et de la belle piscine. Possibilité de garer sa voiture dans la cour.

Dies war unser 4. Aufenthalt an diesem phantastischen Ort! Und es war sicher nicht das letzte Mal... Für uns ist die Quinta do Bom Sucesso der perfekte Ort zum Wohlfühlen. Das liegt nicht nur an der wunderschönen Einrichtung, der guten Ausstattung, den tollen und gepflegten Gärten, der Aussicht, dem Pool...die Liste könnte endlos fortgeführt werden...! Das Beste jedoch sind die Gastgeber! Hier ist man willkommen und das merkt man. Man wird verwöhnt mit diversen Köstlichkeiten und weiß gar nicht, wie man das alles zurückgeben kann... Danke an Teresa und Abel! Ihr habt einen perfekten Ort geschaffen, der so perfekt ist, weil Ihr seid, wie Ihr seid! Wir kommen wieder :)

We had a superb holiday; we arrived to a gorgeous basket of fruit and vegetables, fresh baking, the fridge stocked, fresh eggs from own chickens and such lovely drinks, cake and desert were left for us. We were delighted, no words can describe how lovely this was; the owners had thought of everything. During our stay we could pick fresh fruit, salad and vegetables from their lovely gardens. At night the views are amazing over Funchal. Nothing was too much trouble, we felt safe and cared for; and the surprise of the owners beautiful cooking was amazing and we cannot thank them enough.

Nowhere else could match this location for us. I don’t think we could find a nicer place to stay. Greeted by fresh fruit, herbs & vegetables from our lovely hosts garden which surrounds the Quinta; some of the most delicious I’ve tasted. Cooking with such fresh ingredients was a delight but the cafe nearby is amazingly cheap & full of delightful treats if you want less healthy.. You do need to enjoy walking if you don’t hire a car (scary driving at times) but plenty of buses to catch just outside the gate. Amazing views of the Harbour from the terrace, garden or swimming pool.

This is one of those places that you want to tell everyone about but at the same time keep a secret because it is so good you almost don't want to share it. Initial correspondence with Edgar had been very informative - and also responded to quickly. On arrival at the property we were met by Abel who took us up to our apartment and gave us a full show round before taking us out into the grounds to show us all of the many items freshly grown in the gardens. We spent our first half an hour repeating the word "amazing" along with a lot of oohing and aahing, the views are spectacular, the flowers stunning. The entire property is over different levels with little hiding places and areas to sit in sun or shade. There was such an incredible selection of food and drink left out for us on arrival that we were able to have lunch with friends on our first day without any of us visiting a shop. As mentioned in other reviews Teresa had put a passion fruit mousse in the fridge so we even had dessert! This family welcome you into their home and their lives. We enjoyed dinner twice with Abel and Teresa, they really do make excellent hosts. Between us if we struggled to find the right word, sign language or Google helped us out! We also asked Abel to show us the other 2 apartments to help us decide where to stay next year. They are all within the grounds of the property but located as such that the only time you would know other people are staying is if you were to sit together at the pool. All 3 are furnished to a high standard and are all very individual, they also have their own private outside are with table and chairs and sun loungers. Your apartment has a 2nd set of bed linen supplied so you are able to change over when you want, as many times as you want. Towels for the pool are also supplied. There is a separate utility room with a washing machine, iron and board. There was even a N'espresso machine in our apartment with pods as well. A real treat! We had several days where we just stayed at the property and relaxed, either in the gardens or at the pool, enjoying the view down to the sea. From the aerial photo you can see that the property has a road going around it and several properties close by but we were never bothered by noise. As some people have mentioned it is a very steep walk down into town but it definitely gets easier the more you do it and the views are worth it. 2 minutes from the apartment is a small selection of shops including a supermarket and bakery so you really don't have to go far for supplies. Abel encourages you to pick items from the garden - we had fresh avocados nearly everyday - there is so much choice it encourages you to think up new ways of eating your fruit and veg. We came across the property purely by chance on TripAdvisor and it has been one of the best places we have ever stayed in. We would not hesitate to recommend this property and are already counting down the days to our return visit. If you are considering booking this property do it, we guarantee you will not regret it.

What a brilliant holiday we’ve just had in Funchal. We couldn’t have picked a better home from home than the Quinta Bom Sucesso. The apartment with it’s beautiful gardens and in such a lovely, convenient location, within easy access from the airport and public transport around the island was just what we wanted for a relaxing easy holiday. It was so well fitted out for our stay and we couldn’t think of anything else we could have needed. Thank you to our very kind hosts, Abel and Teresa and to their sons, Edgar and Henrique - all of whom went out of their way to make us feel so welcome and who, through their very generous, kind hospitality, made our second visit to the Island just perfect. Thank you for our ‘Welcome Pack’, the best we have ever received in our travels at home and abroad - the food, wine and beer in the fridge, also the fruit, vegetables and fresh eggs on two occasions during our visit and your so unexpected gifts. We truly enjoyed sharing in your New Year celebrations with all your family. The apartment was so clean and bright and lovely to return to after our trips out and about in Funchal and further afield and on the days we were feeling lazy there was such a beautiful garden to sit and relax with a great view all the way down to the Bay. Good supermarket and an excellent bakery just around the corner. We look forward to our next visit and hope we’ll be able to book the Quinta apartment again.

A beautiful location above the old town - a 20 minute walk down (the steep hill - everywhere on Madeira is steep!) to a cornucopia of bars and restaurants. The wonderful, friendly hosts keep the apartment to the highest standard - and provided us with great fruit and vegetables from the garden! The airport bus stop is just opposite the house, as is the stop for local buses to the town centre and other local routes. For us a perfect location!

The apartment is located within walking distance of the botanical gardens and a downhill 30 minute walk to the sea. It was a very relaxing place place to stay with lots of amenities provided by our fantastic hosts as well as a plenty of fresh vegetables from the garden. It was out first trip to Madera and we would return to this apartment and recommend it to friends.
