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.
I've been to Funchal 4 times in the past year. Ive been to many places in Europe and Funchal is easily the best. I've normally stayed in hotels but took an apartment this time. Inspired. So much to do and see. The old town is absolutely remarkable. Dont know how many miles i walked, but I've come home fitter than i left

The cable car up to Monte is great.
The cable car up to Monte is great. Don't miss the statue of Cristiano Ronaldo near the harbour. We visited the botanical gardens and the Palheiro Gardens by bus. The buses are not very frequent so it's best to check the timetables. There are lots of good restaurants in the old town and by the cathedral. Be aware that museums are shut on Sunday and Monday.

The island of Madeira has many aspects to recommend it.
The island of Madeira has many aspects to recommend it. Funchal is a pleasant town as are many of the other villages and locations.
With much of Europe in danger of over tourism and often of a questionable kind, Madeira is noticeably avoided by the worst elements - stag and hen groups and others who impact upon the quiet enjoyment of people not part of their group.
As a cruise liner destination, plan trips and excursions on days that the liners are absent. 5000 people heading for the same place can be a challenge.

Just such a pretty island and the city itself has such a lot to look at and do. There are restaurants on every corner and often at very good prices so you are spoilt for choice. We walked everywhere but we did get a bus up to the Botanic Gardens. The only thing to be aware of is the cruise liners, one day we had 3 of the ugly mammoths in the harbour with about 10000 extra people crowding the town. It's worth checking that there are cruise-ship free days while you are there.

Funchal is a wonderful city with something for everybody, I believe. Whether you're looking to get out on the water, eat in the multitude of cafes and restaurants, shop at the markets or the many lovely shops, or visit the Cathedral, the stunning gardens, the cable car, and all the other activities and other beautiful places, there is plenty to do. The bus network is excellent for getting around if your feet won't carry you, and tourist information is very helpful with thorough information and tickets to get you where you want to go. Funchal boasts live music in various styles, and there is a gentle buzz about the place. Don't worry if your plane arrives during the evening, as plenty of restaurants and shops selling food will remain open until late. This is no sleepy backwater!

Funchal is the most magical place, every time you look,...
Funchal is the most magical place, every time you look, there something new to see experience. I have been 3 times in last few months. As a person with complex disabilities my safety is paramount. The people are kind and welcoming.
They love and care for their Island, it is spotless.
Colourful, a true multi sensory experience with the scents of flowers and trees, the ocean, the sound of the ocean and hustle bustle
It is very hill but doable. Local transport is very efficient and cheap too.
There is s many hotels and and restaurants to eat from
I stayed at CR7 the customer service was outstanding. The Grand Hotel also went above and beyond, as did Turim Maria and Four Views. The Pestena Casino studios was lovely and staff helpful. Pestena Casio was a stunning hotel but the reception staff were particularly rude and uncompassionate. The Porter was amazing and breakfast staff, bar staff and spa staff, in fact some of the reception staff were.
Monte Gardens is a must blissful journey into dream like gardens
Watching cruise ships
Catamaran trip was fantastic we got to see 3 or 4 pods of dolphins
Atlantic Pearl were wonderful and took great care of me
We went on a lot of tours all which I can recommend especially green devil safari.
The christmas markets a joyful experience there even a free Christmas train
Cathedrals and church's are in abundance each breathtaking
Natural pools are must
Great location, close to Funchal centre yet also quick to get out of without too much traffic and various rental car locations nearby and direct private access to the sea. Really modern design and quite good food offering. Great location to stay in madeira - both pool areas are very lovely. Cocktails on floor 11 accompanied by DJ playing lounge music from Wednesday through Sunday with sea view was definitely a highlight and finishes at 11:30pm. Staff is always helpful around the clock!
We had a great stay at the Apartamento Batista by Horizon View Madeira. Edgar was amazing, he made the communication very easy and was super helpful even when our flight got cancelled and we had to change our check-in time. The apartment is great, it's big and it has all the right utensils. It was easy to get to Funchal center by foot (around 25min) but it's easier if you have a car (there's also a private parking in the property which was a great plus). I would definitely stay again.
Our recent stay at this Old Madeiran villa was a mixed experience, marked by both its historical charm and several notable challenges.
The villa itself is a treasure trove of history, adorned with artifacts from the 19th and 20th centuries, offering a unique glimpse into the past. For history enthusiasts, this aspect of the stay was undoubtedly fascinating. Additionally, the presence of books and maps about Madeira's attractions provided valuable insights for our explorations.
This is a well run hotel and you can tell this by and mostly the staff training and the genuine service! Very willing and helpfull on any request... even a couple of days after check out! Super quality facilities, ideally located in the middle of everything in Funchal, spacious rooms, suberb value for money. The free on-spot parking and the hip and trendy roof top pool bar were the icing on the cake! Higly reccomended. I cannot imagine staying anywhere else next time in Madeira.
This is not the first time we stayed at a Madeira Best Apartment. As in two previous occasions, the facilities and the hostess were as good as it gets. Ligia is the most caring and attentive hostess we have ever encountered in our many travels. She will go out of her way to help you with whatever you need. The apartment is beautifully furnished and equipped with everything you can possibly need. The views are amazing from every room.
The hotel and its facilities are great and very clean. We enjoyed our time in the outdoor and indoor pools and squash court. The room was clean and spacious and the location was great with many very good restaurants in short walking distance. The downtown area was a 15-20 min walk or a quick bus ride which stops right outside the hotel. We loved our time in Madeira and would consider coming back to stay at this hotel again.
Location was perfect near to the bus stop to center (bus no 1,2 and 4) Also we could walk till the center of Funchal(2km).
Hotel was very good and New years eve was fabulous. The new years gala dinner was also very good. We saw the fireworks from the roof top of the hotel. SPAR supermarket was near. Also property is near to Lido outdoor pool. Many shops, car rentals, restaurants are nearby. We enjoyed our 5 days in Madeira.
We got in late and they had freshly made sandwiches and a bottle of Madeira wine waiting for us!! The location was remote while being close to everything and is easy walking distance to the tropical garden, the most beautiful botanical garden I’ve ever seen. It was easy to get into Funchal but a nice distance away to feel more secluded. The cafe had a wonderful view and a cozy patio. We would definitely stay here again!
Number 15 Ocean & City View Villas is a super accommodation!!! The location is great! You have a beautiful view of Funchal and the ocean. The apartment was super clean and huge. The terrace is great. The hosts are also fantastic and helpful. If we go to Madeira again, we will definitely come back here! Funchal is definitely the best place to stay and Number 15 Ocean & City View Villas is a fantastic choice!
The hotel is well located right in the centre of Funchal, we were taking the ferry to Porto Santo the next day and it was just a 12 minute walk. The apartment was huge with a small kitchenette and dining/seating area - it was great value space for the cost. The reception staff were super friendly and the hotel in general was in a nice quiet area.
Everything, the room with an unexpected kitchen area, the balcony the great selection at breakfast, the pool, the outdoor area and the bar area.
Also the bus stop is right outside so only 10-15 minutes into central Funchal and a lot of the tours pick up from outside the hotel too.
When I return to Madeira I will definitely stay here again.
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.
Great location for walking straight out of the door into Funchal. Nice sized room and bathroom with Madeira cake and wine on arrival. Even had a little balcony area to sit out – faced onto other building but that's to be expected when you are staying in a town centre so just nice to have some outside space!
Perfect stay at Hotel Gordon. 10 minute walk from Funchal main centre / old town. Easy walking distance to numerous bus stops serving locations all over the island including the airport. Clean rooms, lovely caring hosts and 3 euro continental type breakfast in a lovely flowery sun shining garden!
Two great swimming pools, the indoor one is heated. The location is perfect, close to the bus lines, forum madeira shopping mall, promenade, lots of restaurants. The room was great, clean and had kitchenette. The breakfast was great, eggs, bacon, fruits, juices. Coffee wasn't the best.
Stunning hotel.
Large rooms, comfortable beds, excellent breakfast, wonderful pool and gardens and friendly helpful staff. Nothing was too much trouble.
Great location for walking into Funchal.
Stayed at various hotels in Madeira, this now is my No 1 go to on future visits.
We had a great stay at the Next Hotel. They upgraded us to an ocean front room that was amazing. Great value for the price. location was great as well. 10 min walk to town and 3 min walk to a ton of restaurants. would stay again if in Madeira.
Turim has incredibly comfortable rooms, nice beds, nice balconies, a wonderful pool and rooftop bay (Marco is the best!) and a huge and delicious breakfast. We loved Funchal and this hotel was a perfect home base for Madeira.
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 :)
