Had a great stay! Breakfast had good options with an exceptional view. The front desk staff was very welcoming and efficient despite having had technical issues the day of my arrival. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had pretty much everything I needed.

Considered one of the most beautiful cities in Portugal, charming Funchal is the capital of Madeira Island. It's an important base for tourists from all over the world that come to the Madeira hotels, B&B’s and resorts to enjoy their cliffs and beaches, as well as the island's slopes and colorful towns.
Founded in 1424, its location allowed it to quickly become an important trading harbor, attracting many prominent families. Its mild weather was the beginning of its touristic development in the 18th century, with a therapeutic and health profile.
With the establishment of the port first, and Madeira International/Funchal Airport later, the city grew to become a major destination. Nowadays, the city concentrates most of the hotels, luxury resorts and casinos on Madeira. Accommodations located in Santa Cruz, near Funchal Airport, are also available for those trying to avoid the rush.
Don’t miss a long walk around Sé historical district, and enjoy the Santa Clara Convent and the Sé Cathedral. The Quinta do Palheiro Ferreiro Park and the Mercado dos Lavradores are also a must.
Whether you need an ocean-view villa or a small guesthouse, Booking.com has a wide range of Funchal accommodations.
There is plenty to see and do in Funchal. Withing the old town you will find many restaurants along with shops and the old market.
Moving around the south of the island using the public busses is very easy, if you plan to do this, we would suggest buying a multi-day travel tickets for the duration of your stay: available at kiosks on the front at Funchal. Google Maps worked very well with planning trips using the local transport. Travelling to the north of the island we found hard to organise using the public transport is not easy, our suggestion would be to hire a car for these trips or join one of the organised trips which we did avoiding parking issues at the popular locations.
If you plan to walk the lavedas, plan you trips ahead of arriving on the island to avoid frustration when trying to work out where to join/exit the walks.

We really liked Funchal!
We really liked Funchal! HOwever, most accomodations are very noisy because of the road traffic, scooters, shouting people on the street, etc. so one has to really choose wisely!!! Funchal offers a lot, mountains, gardens, elevation gain, boat tours, festivals, nice people and food, and calm atmosphere.

A very calm, clean and laid back city with many attractions, both indoor and outdoor. Wide range of good quality and reasonably priced restaurants. Good walking trails along the coast and above the city which can be easily accessed on foot or by public transport.

I found Funchal town to be very clean and larger than expected. Interesting older part but generic modern area which was less interesting. Nice sea front and beautiful town park. The cable car up to the gardens at Monte Palace was a nice experience. We enjoyed a long levada walk in the mountains and catamaran boat trip along the coast and saw dolphins. There is much more to explore so I would like to return to the island in the future. Perfect weather and temperature for an active holiday.

Tourist advice was plentiful and very well spoken staff.
Tourist advice was plentiful and very well spoken staff. Bus services on time and frequent. The majic dolphin boat for whale watching and free spirit for mountain hikes.
Red wine so low cost and great quality. Local pizza not so good go to Pizza hut on the seafront. Very freindly people and as an ageing human all young people were very polite on transport services.
Great atmosphere, good climate although a little humid at times but a very generous island that keeps on giving surpridse after surprise.

Beautiful place, it takes about half an hour in Funchal to be totally relaxed. Amazing food, great weather, incredible views at every turn and wonderful friendly people. A place to keep coming back to.
The best thing related to the property is that it really seemed to be a genuine house of a Madeiran family. Lots of things previously used by the family, which in our view is a family of intelectuals, are still in the house like furniture, books, nice music. Beautiful garden and lots of flowers. Many facilities that bring you close to the facilities of your own home. Elsa is a very helpful and friendly person. Local restaurants with excellent food and store are at walking distance. Good price for what the property has to offer.
This apartment is very good for a couple to stay or family if the owner provide a aditional bed as apartment is big. The apartment is new and in city center o Funchal Where you can find all good atraction of Madeira just by fill minutes city walk. The light and ventilation in the partment is great. If you like to be in city center but no high noise this place is for you. Also if you are tall and have problems to find comfortable beds to sleep and showers with right high too you, you gonna find in this apartment.
View from our room was outstanding - could see the Sea and all of Funchal. Staff went out of their way to be helpful and friendly. Breakfast was excellent and tasty. Location is good for the older area of Funchal, however be prepared to walk up hill to get back from the centre of town (all of Funchal is either going up or down hills!).
Madeira are nice and strict on the COVID rules (masks, sanitiser and distancing), the hotel was an example of the rules being followed across the island and I felt safe there.
Hotel is centrally located to walk everywhere in Funchal. You're in a walking only area but it's a short block to catch any taxi or tour pick up. It's away from the over touristy old town & busy main streets. The roof top bar/garden/dining area is very pretty & provides a great view of the ocean, town & mountains - don't miss the free Fado entertainment on Wednesday night. Breakfast is amazing with many options including delicious fresh fruits (as a bonus, the breakfast staff is super nice).
Spacious, clean, comfortable triple room. Clearly is recently refurbished, everything looks like new. Our room was facing the garden so It was very silent at night. Excellent and various breakfast. Free parking on the side of the hotel or in the underground parking (if you are lucky - we were 🙂). Good location, near a beautiful little park and about a 15-20 minutes very pleasant walk to the old city of Funchal. Highly recommended, would stay here again if back in Madeira.
The studio has a great balcony with amazing view on the old town of Funchal, a stylish bedroom with a comfortable double bed, and a kitchen equipped literally with everything, that can be possibly needed for a long pleasant stay in Madeira. All the equipment is of top quality. Michael personally introduced us to the studio, and on the departure day gave us a lift to the airport. It was a pity we could not stay longer. Very much recommended!
The apartment is very a very spacious two bed in the heart of Funchal with everything you might need for a comfortable stay. The host was very welcoming and helpful. Views of the City are wonderful from the balcony where you can sit and relax or eat with your family. Everything is close by including the Old Town, restaurants, public transport and cable car. We had an excellent stay and would return when next in Madeira.
We got in late and they had freshly made sandwiches and a bottle of Madeira wine waiting for us!! The location was remote while being close to everything and is easy walking distance to the tropical garden, the most beautiful botanical garden I’ve ever seen. It was easy to get into Funchal but a nice distance away to feel more secluded. The cafe had a wonderful view and a cozy patio. We would definitely stay here again!
The quinta looks absolutely amazing: the garden, the flowers, the setting, the pools, the view... Helena and Roberto are taking a great care of this beautiful property. We loved everything about it! Parking is available right outside of the property and the steep walk from the Old town is only 10min (your dose of cardio per day!) We would defo come back there at our next stop in Madeira! Muito obrigado!
Sandy was really helpful and nice person. Her apartment is just with beautiful view. Near to the city center. She is so kind, having maps and info about all island. We were so lucky and happy to meet her. This apartment is very clean and quiet. The parking infront of the main doors is cery nice. If you would like to go to Madeira, enjoy this stay. We really did.
First of all every staff in this hotel was lovely. All smiling and checking on you. We stayed at the 1 bedroom apartment and the balcony view was amazing. The Forum Madeira shopping centre is close. This hotel is located in the edge of Funchal so it is a bit isolated and quiet, beside a beach which is exactly what we wanted. I would stay here again.
Suite was clean and spacious, located a 5 min walk away from Funchal centre and about 15mins from the old town/cable car. Angelo (the host) was amazing, nothing was too much trouble & he is extremely knowledgeable & passionate about Madeira. He hosts a BBQ on a Friday evening for guests and this was the best food we had whilst in Madeira.
Loved the location. Came to Madeira to run and hike, so the hotel was conveniently situated to get local buses or walk into Funchal.
The weather was so good we didnt use the facilities the hotel offered as we were out exploring.
Initial problem with our room but the staff went out of their way to deal with it.
The hotel and locations are great! Clean, staff wonderful, food good. We had two rooms with double balcony, amazing views of the ocean, moon...very easy to get around too, which is not always the case in Madeira as everything is on hill or cliff.
Very modern, clean and comfortable. Good location for exploring Funchal. Providing that you don't want to hire a car it's a very good town centre hotel. Good breakfast.
