Breakfast. Helpful staff; exceptional restaurant on site.
( I don't understand the Island's almost universal "changeover on Mondays" policy; so I use this hotel frequently for a short stay to avoid the queues in a horribly crowded airport on Mondays... This is my stop-over of choice . What else can I say?)

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.

The old town is very touristy - we ate there one night, but there are lots of great places to eat, some with fabulous views, in other parts of Funchal that aren't as crowded (special mention to Avista and il Vivaldi). We spent most of our time visiting different parts of the island and doing some of the levada walks, which were wonderful. We went in March, and whilst reasonably warm, there was occasional heavy rain - be prepared.

Jardin Botanica is great, but see it BEFORE you see Monte,...
Jardin Botanica is great, but see it BEFORE you see Monte, which somewhat outshines it. Go when there's a festival; like the Atlantic Festival when we were there, It makes it more interesting. Don't expect beaches unless you go to Porto Santo for the day or two. Do go for a 4x4 into the interior too. And go to the Farmers Market the fruit is great, though not necessarilly cheap. The flowers all over Island are magnificent. And DO a Taboggan ride. Unique and worth the price, it's run by a cooperative.

We loved the old part of the Town and enjoyed shopping at the Farmers' Market. The Town was clean and tidy and the people couldn't have been more helpful. Everyone seemed to have a good knowledge of English.
We enjoyed the cable car and generally walking around the Town. Driving was a challenge.

Funchal is beautiful.
Funchal is beautiful. It is extremely clean and full of fruit trees and flowers . The people are incredibly welcoming and kind. The food was amazing. The prices were very reasonable. In some restaurants you could buy an appetizer, entree, drink and dessert for $20 euros. The landscapes were breathtaking .

We’ve visited not only Funchal but all over Madeira.
We’ve visited not only Funchal but all over Madeira. My favorites were the levadas, but I’ve loved to run in the morning uphill in Funchal :).
The city is beautiful but has its poor parts integrated everywhere, I liked that it’s not somewhere separated but it’s a mix of everything. The flora is astonishing and we’ve lived also the food there. Driving around can be a bit unusual at the beginning because of the steep hills and two way streets which barely can fit one car, but you get used to it :).

We very much enjoyed our 3 night stay at the Three House Hotel in Madeira. The hotel is situated in a fantastic location. Rooms and facilities are very well equipped and of a very high quality. The rooftop bar and pool area offer great views and a relaxing environment. The food at the restaurant is some of the best available in the local area, it is delicious with a great choice on the menu. Service from the staff is attentive and thorough throughout the stay. We would highly recommend the hotel to anyone looking for accommodation in Funchal.
The staff were so friendly and helpful. Fantastic breakfast. Plenty of choice and all fresh. The grounds were spacious and plenty of different areas to sit in. Loved the daily happy hour! We ate both in the Alfama and Basilico restaurants and the food was excellent. Elton John tribute night was great fun. Played the crazy golf and pétanque which was fun. Courtesy bus was not running but Buses to town centre and airport stopped just outside hotel. Will return to this hotel when we visit Madeira again.
The Babosas Village is the ideal place to stay if you want to see Madeira but you want to avoid the insanely touristic centre of Funchal. While a lot of tourists come up here during the day, at breakfast and dinner Babosas is an oasis of peace and relax. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and very patient with those who do not speak Portuguese. The rooms are comfortable and quiet, the breakfast is rich and changes every day. If I had to visit Funchal again, I would go back to Babosas.
Tucked away in the perfect area about 10mins walk from the old town. The staff were EXCEPTIONALLY helpful and friendly, Nuno planned our trip for us after we struggled to get a hire car. The room was lovely with really lovely products. If the weather had been nice we would have sat out on the beautiful terrace amongst the well kept flowers overlooking Madeira. They also served breakfast at any time. I will be recommending this hotel to anyone I know visiting Madeira without fail.
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.
- good location, close to the ocean, old town, the port, the bus terminal and shops;
- Topázio apartment is very modern and stylish in the recently renovated building;
- all systems in the apartment were functioning properly except the alarm system;
- silent elevator;
- personnel from Hotel Madeira that manages apartments is very responsive;
- early check-in was very helpful;
- supplementary bottle of wine an a cake on arrival were very nice.
Perfect Old Town location! Easy walking distance to a parking garage. Woke up each morning to an accordion player outside our balcony. Steps from the cathedral and many shops and restaurants. The host was friendly and accommodating. Apartment was immaculate and the kitchen had everything we needed to enjoy cooking our own meals and enjoying coffee in the morning. Nice, hot shower and cold AC. This apartment is everything you need in Madeira.
We loved our stay in Madeira, the apartment was in a great location, near the Botanical garden and the view to the ocean was spectacular.
The hosts welcomed us upon our arrival, he presented the apartment, the facilities and he provided us a list of suggested restaurants. They are all great!
The communication was great, everything was great.
Thank you very much for all your effort and implication.
Hotel Madeira is in an excellent location with an easy 7 minute walk to the Old Town which is packed with restaurants and bars. The beds were comfortable, the AC worked and the showers were a good size. we spent many an afternoon relaxing by the pool at the terrace bar on top of the hotel having lunch and drinks handed to us. I would highly recommend this property.
Good sized room and bed. Bathroom well equipped. The location is good and only a ten min walk towards the centre of Funchal. The breakfast has very good choice, however quality of cooking could be better. The pool facilities and location are excellent and the pool is very clean although not heated. The price is good for a hotel which has been ranked 5 star.
Beautiful quinta located near to the old town, with a lovely garden surrounded by a banana plantation, passion fruit and papaja trees, looking at the ocean. The owner and his family were extremely friendly and helpful and told us a lot about Madeira, Funchal and the history of the property. A nice bakery and small grocery store at walking distance.
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!
A wonderful place to stay. An excellent location, an easy walk to the old town, and away from the major hotel districts. A beautiful, common outdoor terrace area that has a wonderful view of the sea. Catarina prepares a fabulous breakfast every morning. Close to excellent restaurants and major public bus routes.
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.
good location/ friendly staffs/ clean especially Carolina from the reception very friendly and helpful she is number one to our stayed thank you again to all the staffs and looking forward to stay there again definitely will recommend to any friends come to Madeira for their staying 👍,
best location in Sao Martinho, near Forum Madeira mall, close to Lido Promenade, 2 minutes walk to bus, cafe and more.
the property was really big and comfortable, it has fully equipped kitchen and 2 balconies, private parking in garage, Joanna (host) was very kind.
The location of the hotel is perfect, near the Old Town of Funchal. The staff was smiling and they cleaned our room every day, towels changed etc. The room is basic but really comfy and would recommend 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.
