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.
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.
Our recent stay at this Old Madeiran villa was a mixed experience, marked by both its historical charm and several notable challenges.
The villa itself is a treasure trove of history, adorned with artifacts from the 19th and 20th centuries, offering a unique glimpse into the past. For history enthusiasts, this aspect of the stay was undoubtedly fascinating. Additionally, the presence of books and maps about Madeira's attractions provided valuable insights for our explorations.
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.
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!
Friendly staff! Very clean and beautiful gardens around the hotel. It's very obvious they pride in their work and work environment. Beautiful views of the city and free parking ☺️ Nuno is so helpful and friendly I really enjoyed learning about Madeiras. Thanks for a lovely stay.
Their brown labrador dogs Nikki and Sasha are so cute and friendly and love to play catch, if you love dogs go and see them.
This was a great hotel with great staff situated direct across from the ocean, and I had great views from my ocean view room. The breakfast buffet was great the days I had it, and was only +17EUR.
The rooms were great and very spacious with great and very comfortable beds and amazing rainfall showers in the bathrooms. I would definitely stay here again should I return to Madeira.
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.
It was fantastic place with perfect location. Spacious, light, with big balcony with view at small garden and sea. Apartment has everything needed and even more. Host were very nice and friendly and very helpful with good hints and links about what to do and see in Madeira. Perfect place to stay and enjoy Madeira!
The apt is bright,clean, comfortable and quiet. Lynn is one of the best people I have ever met. Went out of her way several times to help a severely jetlagged woman who lost her luggage and left behind her coats. Thanks again.Hope we meet again. You know I will always stay at your place if I am in Madeira again.
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.
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.
