That was my first stay at Madeira - and it was the perfect beginning of the vacation! We’ve been upgraded from a seaview room to something - i don’t know - similar to penthouse seaview, featuring huge window and terrace with ocean and pool view. The staff were very welcoming and helpful, room is clean, new and comfortable.
There’s a comfortable parking garage, make sure you’ll pay for it at the reception, it will be cheaper (8 euro/day)

It's 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 the island's slopes and colorful towns.
Founded in 1424, its location allowed it to quickly become an important trading harbor, attracting many prominent families. Its mild weather was the beginning of its touristic development in the 18th century, with a therapeutic and health profile.

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 :).

3-4 days is plenty.
3-4 days is plenty. There are surprisingly beautiful gardens & green spaces giving a break from all the noise & congestion. Beautiful flowers & trees blooming everywhere during the May Flower Festival. When multiple cruise ships are in port at once, it is packed. Driving & parking is a nightmare. Summer season must be a crowded mess. Some beautiful vistas, but few places to pull over & enjoy them. Very high fog shrouded mountains.
The tourist board proclaims that Madeira in general is the Hawaii of the Atlantic. Lots of Banana trees, some palms, some similar flowers, yes. The hiking is in the cold wet fog & the beaches can't compare.

A lovely place to visit for its scenery, cityscape, flora and food. Visits to the many gardens were so colourful, especially Monte via the cable car. Easy walking around the city with lots of shops and restaurants. The Flower Festival was colourful with parades, folk art and music, classic car parade and lots more to see. Several interesting art galleries and museums to visit as well.

The island offers tremendous variety that takes time to discover.
2 weeks would go by very quickly here. Renting a car almost essential as it allows you to visit sites away from. the organised bus trips, which would be good if you don't fancy driving and the inevitable route finding issues.
The location, on a small side street, gave us a feel for being in the "real" city. Our apartment had a large balcony looking over a park which had a lovely outdoor cafe. A very easy walk to everywhere one might want to go in Funchal. Easy access to transit and tours. Wonderful bakery and supermarket 5 minutes away. Everyone helpful and friendly. Authentic restaurants close by. Hotel 2 minute walk with a pool, deck and bar. They had a small bottle of Madeira wine waiting for us.
This is definitely a high end and more luxurious apartment. It is spacious and very comfortable for a family of four. you have your own parking space inside the garage, an elevator and terrific balcony with sea view. it’s simply an amazing way to spend your time on the island of Madeira. Its central location in Funchal is quite advantageous and a wonderful place to explore from. The host, Julia is very sweet, welcoming and friendly, and was always available when we had questions.
Hotel was excellent for the price we paid, offering everything we needed for our stay. Wifi did not always worked well on our room, but I was not too bothered about this. Staff were amazing, accommodating and always happy to help. Breakfast was great with a lot of options. Location was excellent, within walking distance to the old town and close to a supermarket as well (which always comes handy with children). Would definitely come back to this hotel on my next trip to Madeira.
The apartment had everything that I needed for my stay, clean and well appointed. The restaurant downstairs, owned by the same people served excellent food and offered a discount for those renting the apartment. The host Maikel was excellent, attentive and generous, allowing me to stay for a final night free of charge when it became apparent that I had made a mistake with my departure date.
If I return to Madeira, I will definitely consider these apartments again. 10 out of 10
The hotel, built around a traditional Madeiran manor house, is an oasis of civilised calm and charm, nestling in the midst of an urban desert of high-rise hotels. The facilities were very good and the staff excellent: nothing was too much trouble and everything was served with a smile. Half board food was very good value and portions were abundant. The location, with swimming pool on the seafront, was superb - an easy walk to the town centre. We would unhesitatingly return.
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 :)
Fantastic apartment to stay in Funchal, and use as a base to explore Madeira. Located slightly out of the main city centre - about a 20min walk into Funchal central - but a great spot to enjoy local cafes and bakeries, and get immersed in the authentic Madeira culture. Cristina, the host, is excellent and communicative, and extremely helpful. Would definitely come back and stay here!
The hotel was amazing, as we were celebrating our wedding in Funchal. All the guests had a comfortable stay. Claudio helped us, even before we arrived to the hotel. He has very helpful and was there for us.
The taxi driver, Fabio was amazing and nice to talk to, super value for our rides.
The breakfast and massage made our days, super compare to our hotels where we stayed in Madeira.
Location, location, location - tough it would be hard to find a place to park a car. It is close to the old town, close to SAM bus terminal with buses to the airport. For the price it was a reasonable option for our last night in Funchal and Madeira.
We also had an excellent night sleep - it was on a weekend tough, so no noises from a nearby school.
First of all José was an amazing person and really nice and friendly and My family and I were really really happy with the hospitality that they brought to us to stay on this beautiful island of Madeira we would definitely stay here again one day in the Future! The house was big and Exceeded our expectations. Thank you once again José
This family-run hotel was a great stay for my time in Madeira for a girls' trip! Each morning's breakfast included great coffee and local fruit with other hot and cold options, and the welcome cake was a really nice touch! The rooftop terrace was beautiful and offers great views over Funchal, and the location was perfect!
Great location in the centre of Funchal, close to a large shopping centre. Very convenient underground garage. Funchal is a good place to stay in Madeira as the city is lively in the evening and there are many good restaurants nearby. The room was large, clean and comfortable. Thank You, Joana, for assistance.
I stayed in a few locations during my trip to Madeira and this is the spot I’ll dream of for years to come. the infinity pool above the ocean and direct access to swim out to sea was just unbelievable.
loved being able to do yoga on my balcony overlooking the sea
hotel was very clean and spacious.
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.
The hotel and locations are great! Clean, staff wonderful, food good. We had two rooms with double balcony, amazing views of the ocean, moon...very easy to get around too, which is not always the case in Madeira as everything is on hill or cliff.
Loved the view from our room, the bottle of Madeira wine and candy, and the general ambience of the hotel! Staff were very helpful regarding recommendations for nearby restaurants and activities.
