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.

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.
Perfect 12 days stay on Madeira. Very friendly and supportive host.
Very good localisation, walking distance to the city center, close to shopping center, bus stop.
Spacious apartament with everthing what you need and fantastic view on the ocean. Private parking place in underground parking. Feeling of safe and comfort.
The apartment is located in a residential part, much more atmospheric than the hotel part of
Funchal. You can feel the real vibe of the city.
Perfect base to everyday trips across the island.
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.
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 :)
Two pools, one near sea and access to the water. Restaurant fine with standard Madeiran cuisine. Western edge of hotel district and access to plenty of restaurants within 20 minutes walk and good location generally. Charming setting and gardens give a character set apart from the many soulless mega hotels in western Funchal. Generally friendly staff. Very good value for money, was half the price of similar options at the time of booking
What an amazing hotel! The staff are so friendly and helpful, the service is fantastic. What you get included exceeds the price you paid as this is a stunning hotel with beautiful interior throughout. Location is great, right in the centre only a 5 minute walk from the sea front. The roof top bar and pool.. oh wow! Incredible views. Me and my family were so impressed we'd love to stay here again when we next visit Madeira.
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.
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!
Excellent location and fantastic views towards the sea, about 15 mins down to the main area and even closer to the Old Town. The apartment was well equipped and had everything that we needed for our stay, and was decorated well. The instructions for checking in were really helpful and clear and the employees very helpful if/when we needed them! Would definitely recommend if we visited Funchal and Madeira again!
Place is located in the centre of Funchal Old Town, we had the little flat on the last floor, with kitchen and balcony, where we could eat and drink coffee. In the kitchen u have all u need to prepare food, even a blender! We also have a view on the ocean, what is always nice. In the building was a washing machine and dryer. Staing in this house u can feel like in your own flat, not a hotel.
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.
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.
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!
It was a wonderful appartment near the center of Funchal and near the hotel area. The appartment and the building was very clean and quiet. Eventhough we didn't meet in person, the host was very helpful and the hospitality was great. I would highly recommend a stay there if visiting Madeira island.
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 a really wonderful place. It is spotlessly clean and well laid out. It is spacious and has everything you could need. We stayed in quite a few places in Madeira and this was by far the best. It's in a good location - quiet but not far from the old town centre and it has a good view.
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.
