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.
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.

Madeira is a lovely island with many spectacular hikes and...
Madeira is a lovely island with many spectacular hikes and breathtaking views, but the city of Funchal was the least satisfying aspect of our visit. Driving in and out of the city, to and from our hotel, was stressful and confusing: roads are narrow and wind around blind curves, the locals drive very fast, and because parking is seemingly a free-for-all you spend a lot of time dodging parked cars and making room for other cars to go past you. The downtown businesses and restaurants have surrendered entirely to the crowds of tourists from the daily cruise ships, which dock in the middle of the central harbor. As a result, the staff at shops and eateries are thoroughly tired and unenthusiastic about their jobs. We plan to return to Madeira, but we will definitely pick another town to stay in.
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 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'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!
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.
Friendly staff! Very clean and beautiful gardens around the hotel. It's very obvious they pride in their work and work environment. Beautiful views of the city and free parking ☺️ Nuno is so helpful and friendly I really enjoyed learning about Madeiras. Thanks for a lovely stay.
Their brown labrador dogs Nikki and Sasha are so cute and friendly and love to play catch, if you love dogs go and see them.
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.
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.
The reception staff were very friendly and helpful, assisting me with trip arrangements.
My room, with its en-suite bathroom and a balcony offering a sea view, was quite spacious.
The wifi service was very good, and the range of multilingual TV channels was extensive.
The hotel's is located conveniently for the Madeira Forum shopping complex and the bus services into Funchal's Zona Vehla.
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.
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!
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.
This hotel is in an ideal location in the centre of the old town part of Funchal. There is a very good breakfast at this hotel. The staff were very friendly and attentive. There is a dip pool and sunbed area on the roof and though never used an exercise suite on the 4th floor. I could find no fault during our stay at the hotel.
Amazing location, apartment and host. I’d recommend for anyone to stay here. Carlos is exceptionally professional and answer all of our questions quickly. The apartment itself was perfect. located right in the heart of Funchal with the most stunning view of the Madeira mountains while still being quiet and safe at night.
The apt is bright,clean, comfortable and quiet. Lynn is one of the best people I have ever met. Went out of her way several times to help a severely jetlagged woman who lost her luggage and left behind her coats. Thanks again.Hope we meet again. You know I will always stay at your place if I am in Madeira again.
Everything was outstanding - the location, the villa, the Infinity pool, the friendliness of the staff, communication with owners. Ideally placed a short - uphill - walk from Funchal old town/centre. The walk back up after an evening helped to burn off the holiday calories! We will be back.
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.
Great location for sightseeing, restaurants, and shopping, walking distance to Old Town and the waterfront, beautiful sea view, clean and spacious apartment and nice kitchen, Madeira Wine and traditional dessert upon arrival.
Rooms were gorgeous! Bed was so comfy, everything brand new and super clean.
Pool bar & pool with views or Funchal was incredible
Would 100% recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Madeira!
