Old world charm throughout. Had a Pool at the older part of the hotel as well as easy access to a second newer part of the hotel with large oceanfront beach pool/ bar/restaurant right beside it. Pool attendant was quick to get us towels, set up umbrellas and make sure we had everything. Had a decent amount of parking for downtown location. Sandwiched between two hop on hop off bus stops within 5 min walk so handy for sight seeing Funchal. Nice balcony with table and chairs to sit on and enjoy the garden and ocean views. Lots of restaurants all within 5 minute walk and harbor front/marina just a couple minutes walk..staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast that was included was a buffet with a really nice selection of foods. Stocked fridge /minibar in room was handy.

Considered one of the most beautiful cities in Portugal, charming Funchal is the capital of Madeira Island. It is 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 its slopes and colourful towns.
Founded in 1424, its position allowed it to quickly become an important trading harbour, 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 of Madeira. Accommodation located in Santa Cruz, near Funchal Airport, is also available for those wanting 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 guest house, Booking.com offers a wide range of Funchal accommodation.
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.
Our stay exceed our expectations. We were welcomed by Sidonio and supported through the entire stay by the whole team, from advice on the best trails to where to get the bus. The rooftop bar is amazing and offers every comfort - it is more expensive than the average in Funchal and Madeira, but worth it. The apartment was furnished to the highest standard and everything is curated to be also aesthetically pleasing. The location is central and the hotel has a number of parking spots reserved for the guests, which is a great benefit.
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.
Prime location in Funchal from where you can walk around old town and to the sea front. The free gated parking is a massive bonus. Balcony with view to the square where you can find many options for breakfast. The area is nearby many restaurants as well. The flat in itself is big and comfy. Not having to share a key is great and everyone can come in and out as they please with a code. Kitchen had everything we needed, very well equipped. If I go back to Madeira will be staying here again.
I'm visiting this place few times in the month and I can't be more happy. It's really my second home here in Madeira - not only because I visit so often but because of the strong feeling of constant support, having the best service ever and the most comfortable room on perfect location. I simply love staying there no matter if it's one night or the full week. Do not hesitate to choose this hotel if you want to have a perfect time in Funchal. The best!
I really loved the place, from the amazing and really helpful staff to delicious breakfast and amazing location in the city center. Also I love the details, so names of the rooms based on Levadas around Madeira was very cute detail. Plus when we had the early morning hiking trip, they were so nice to prepare snack for us for the trip. If you are planning a stay in Funchal, I HIGHLY recommend to stay in Zarco! Thank you again for great stay :)
My stay at The Views Monumental in Funchal, Madeira, was unforgettable! The hotel staff provided a warm welcome and efficient check-in. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed, ensuring a comfortable stay. The rooftop terrace offered breathtaking views of Funchal, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the scenery. I highly recommend this hotel for an enjoyable and memorable experience in Madeira.
A very nice apartment, clean and very well located if you want to explore the island and also stay close to the city. Literary the best sunset view on the island, we loved spending time on the balcony drinking wine and eating delicious Madeira food. Maria was really nice and hospitable and always was in contact in case we had any questions. The overall experience was really good and positive, can only recommend!
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!
Loved the hotel. Very clean. Comfortable beds and wonderful rain shower. Breakfast was excellent. Staff very helpful with tours and recommendations. On a pedestrian street with several restaurants just out the front door. Saw lunch at our hotel seemed busy so gave it a try and also excellent. A market is just a few
blocks. Cable car, old town and Madeira tastings all easy walks.
Beautiful traditional hotel very close to the old town and all its restaurants. A real Madeira experience that one can't get at all the characterless modern hotels. Superb facilities with two lovely pools and the ability to swim in the sea. Very friendly and helpful staff. Quiet at night - a real oasis- but within easy walking distance nightlife. A perfect place to stay.
The apartment is an adorable conversion of a traditional Madeiran house in a very popular art district. You really don't have to go far to find a great selection of restaurants and the beautiful painted doors are all around you. The bed was very comfortable and the little balcony is perfect for a morning coffee with a stunning view of peaceful Funchal.
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.
Really lovely and well designed apartment in an excellent location. Feels like you are in the heart of the Old Town but yet it's nice and quiet. We had been staying outside of Funchal and only stayed here on our final night in Madeira, we regret not spending more time here as the apartment was so nice and the location was perfect.
Perfectly located in the heart of Funchal with all of the space and amenities our family of three needed. We missed our connection to Madeira due to a flight delay and arrived a day late but our host, Alexandra, was gracious and flexible. Our apartment was bright and clean and exactly like the pictures. Highly recommend!
Well located in Sao Martinho within 20 minutes walk to the center, a lot of good restaurants in the vicinity. Clean, spacious rooms. A good choice of fruits for breakfast (paradoxically, absent in many other Madeira hotels). Comfortable beds and pillows. In all, an excellent value for money.
This is the best hotel for the price in the whole Madeira. Best location you can find if you want some action and to reach everything easily in Funchal. I can say that we liked this hotel even more than the most expensive Savoy's in Funchal and Calheta. Less people, better food.
The hotel is super close to everything, including the marina and main street of Funchal. It's location is perfect, especially for first time visitors of Madeira. The staff is nice, helping the guests to have a great stay. The pool is fine, but a bit small.
Wonderful time at Quinta B, very great welcome, the bedroom is perfect and the view with the breakfast amazing! I recommend this hotel for few days in Funchal, you will love it.
The localization is near to the old town which is great for the visits.
This hotel was simply perfect. Great location, spacious and comfortable rooms, beautiful views from the rooftop, and excellent restaurant. This hotel was an experience in itself and was the cherry on top of our time in Madeira.
This hotel truly merits it's 5 star rating. If you want exceptional staff, food, bedrooms, pool areas etc this is the place to come. Close access into Funchal centre.
