This is an excellent hotel. Quiet and private. The staff were amazing, where literally everyone was friendly, welcoming, and nothing was too much trouble. They each went out of their way to make it a memorable stay. The view from the suite, infinity pool and dining areas is absolutely incredible (and worth the higher price tag). To top it off, the daily all-inclusive breakfast and dining experience at Avista restaurant was fantastic. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Beautiful hotel, fantastic view, nice garden. We loved the large salt-water swimming pool (a good thing since in two weeks it was never allowed to swim in the ocean: yellow flag every day). Great breakfast buffet. We tried Cipriani once, nothing extraordinary. The William's was superlative, but they only have 2 set menus and no "à la carte". We also tried the afternoon tea: scones and sandwiches were OK, and they have an impressive selection of tea (you can also get the same teas without all the extra at the "Tea library"). The room was OK, not particularly large for a junior suite but comfortable and we had a view on the ocean.

The whole stay in the hotel was an exceptional experience.The expectations from the photos and reviews were high, but the reality even exceeded it. The staff was always kind, smiling, explained everything perfectly and was always helpful. My greatest admiration goes to the staff at the Rose Garden Restaurant, who even when they are busy around other guests, make your visit a unique moment. The half board accommodation was absolutely worth it. The breakfasts are rich in fresh food and the selection varied even slightly. Dinners consist of a three course menu and there is a choice in each course. However, the dining experience is beyond description, what a perfect interplay of flavours the local chefs are able to create. The cherry on top of our stay was the perfect area with nooks and crannies where one could sit and relax in peace. Madeira is a beautiful island, I would not have enjoyed my holiday so much without the quality and peaceful facilities. I will be happy to return.

FAQs about hotels in Funchal

Portuguese Charm and Island Capital

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.

Although there are many tourist in the city, it actually doesn't feel very touristy to me. People are very relaxed and friendly. I met a nice couple from England and a father/son duo from France on our whale/dolphin 3 hour tour. We had fun spotting dolphins and laughed when we were all getting splashed by the waves headed back to Funchal.

First time in Madeira, plenty of things to do for active holidays between hiking and waterfall, gardens, cable cart ride, tobbogan slide down the streets, Colombus ship reconstructed excursion around the cost, and natural basins at the shore. It will keep you busy and entertained for the entire stay, but keep your credit card ready for the tickets. Great food and drinks, and constant Spring weather - even though we were in November. Mind the top of the island though where you can find temperatures dropping from 25C at the cost to 13 C on top. Renting a car easy and pleasant, roads generally quite good, although some very steep, and plenty tunnels.

Everything was great, people were friendly and helpful, there were lots of attractions, beautiful gardens and water features. There were plenty of reasonably priced shops, supermarkets and restaurants, some were more touristy and expensive but genuinely offered an experience, so it was good to have plenty of choice. A favourite of my family were all the lizards on the rocky beach and in the parks - great fun to watch when it was sunny.

An interesting town, but VERY touristy. Tourists everywhere, and businesses catering to tourists. Good base for exploring and car hire etc. As a hiker and swimmer, I think I might have preferred to stay somewhere smaller like Machico.

The down town of Funchal has a lot of touristy things to do.

The down town of Funchal has a lot of touristy things to do. However, it isn’t all that big and there’s only so many times you dan walk the oceanfront or the Avenida without it being repetitive. If you don’t have a car, going anywhere other than downtown is an issue. I didn’t want to drive there since it looked a bit crazy for me so we were fairly limited. And walking isn’t necessarily the best way around because everything is uphill on the mountain. You can take cabs at about €10 per ride but you have to have a plan for where you’re going. Luckily, it wasn’t my first time there so I’d done a lot of the touristy things before. Also, since I had business to attend to, being right downtown was a definite advantage.

This is my favourite hotel I’ve stayed at while visiting Madeira. I have visited three years in a row now, and at this point I wouldn’t want to stay at any other hotel. The hotel staff is lovely, always helpful and polite. The cleaning staff is great and the place is always clean. The rooftop bar and pool is top notch. I travel with my two small dogs, and it has always felt safe to stay with them at this hotel. Can’t wait to be back again next year! 10/10 would recommend to this to anyone looking for a relaxing hotel to stay at.

What a wonderful little gem in central Funchal. Only stayed one night due to flight disruption but would happily go back. Staff are beyond helpful and so friendly (unlike one other hotel we stayed in). Room was gorgeous, air conditioning a bonus. Loved the free Madeira and chocolates, a generous touch. Despite it being on a side street I had the best sleep of our entire time on Madeira. The breakfast basket was delicious and unexpected.

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.

Great place to stay. Location is near to the city and to everything you need. The only potential minus is that the beach is not really nearby, but this is normal for Madeira. 5 star place, with a extremely helpful and cheerful host. Recommended, and I would personally rent this apartment again.
