8.6/10 Excellent! (231 reviews)
Beautifully furnished boutique hotel with very helpful staff. Rooms are well maintained and kept clean. The hotel restaurant does some great menu items so worth a visit. Breakfast buffets are fine but probably not to everyone's tastes. Location is next to the cathedral so ideal for a city stay with a difference - Funchal is a super place to visit and we hit the Xmas illumination that is world famous.

Ponta Do Sol Beach
This was taken on my way to the highest peak in Madeira, a beautiful little Portuguese isalnd near the African coast. I met the most friendliest people here on this isalnd. Madeira is so small that you do not need 1 month to go and see everything there is and elderly people speak very good English too ! #madeira #outdoor #nature #hiking
