First of all this hotel is super clean which is the most important thing for the hotel. I really love the cleanliness in the room. The bed is very comfortable especially for older people it is tight and not so soft which supports your back. The bed is very big. Pillows are soft and the blanket is good so we had a very good sleep every night. Breakfast are okay, so many choices and if you have to leave early in the morning, you can also ask for a little take away food. The staffs are very friendly. Especially, the guy from reception that he always greetings with smile and willing to answer every questions you ask. The hotel have limited parking which is cost 15 euro per day. We used this because it is convenient for us to park whenever and drive around whenever we want. The view above the rooftop also nice with swimming pool and good cocktail. We would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone and would definitely come back to stay again if we come to Madeira!

Hotel Porto Santa Maria is a very well-thought-out and comfortable adult only hotel. The location is perfect in Funchal - at the beach, next to the Monte Funicular, adjacent to the old town, near many restaurants, within walking distance to the new part of town. The rooms are spacious and have kitchenette facilities. There was music entertainment every night. Breakfast was plentiful. Above all, the staff were amazing. We highly recommend staying at Porto Santa Maria. One more plus: there is a parking garage if you have a rental car - no extra charge.

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'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.

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 on Madeira. Accommodations located in Santa Cruz, near Funchal Airport, are also available for those trying 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 guesthouse, Booking.com has a wide range of Funchal accommodations.

Beautiful island and so much to see and do in Funchal.

Beautiful island and so much to see and do in Funchal. We stayed in December and the lights along the promenade were fantastic. The Old Town is so interesting with quaint streets full of character. Beautiful churches.

Lovely clean city.

Lovely clean city. People, especially locals were friendly and welcoming. Lots to see and do. Lovely flat promenade to walk. It's so good we go at least once a year and have done so for past 15 years. Always something different to see and do. You can spend as much or as little money as you wish. Eating out is excellent. We ate at local restaurants, but also in the cafe in the Pingo Doce Supermarket and in the Anadia Shopping Centre. Outside the Farmers market is a pavement cafe - excellent coffee and good for people watching... It's a City you must visit at least once in a lifetime. There are also other lovely areas on the island to visit.

Funchal is a small city with Old Town character and marina to enjoy. The best benefits of Madeira are the hiking trails all over the country. There are a lot of organisations based in Funchal where visitors can sign up to hikes and be picked up and returned to their property at the end of them. This is great for those who are not driving. Funchal also has other sights worth visiting such as Monte Palace and the Botanical gardens, both of which may be accessed by cable car or bus. I would highly recommend both of these attractions. I also visited the Madeira Story centre museum which although old fashioned, provides a chronological history of Madeira for those who are interested. The Old Town provides a wide range of good restaurants for tourists to choose from.

A fabulous city, the old town was wonderful, full of restaurants, cafes and bars. The Christmas lights were amazing on every street. You could see the mountain behind Funchal all lit up, friendly locals, and great food. I wish we were still there.

Such a magical place, with lots to see and do.

Such a magical place, with lots to see and do. Worth exploring the little side street cafes and restaurants/bars for some traditional food with authentic local flare. Buses are great and easy to use, but if travelling with a few people then I'd suggest using Bolt (like Uber) as it can sometimes work out cheaper and/quicker. The Funchal Market is a great place to visit but some traders can sadly scam tourists with pricing.

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.

The hotel is in the city centre of Funchal with shops and restaurants nearby and the bus to the airport as well. The room was really big with everything you need in it. The breakfast had a lot of variety, but I'd appreciate if there were more local fruits. Since Madeira has 14 types of bananas, you'd think that they'd offer some of them apart from the standard ones. The roof bar is nice. You can have coffee or food there and swim in the pool if you want. Everything was great!

We travelled with two teenage kids and we were very happy. The customer service was perfect. We were extremely happy with the assistance provided by Sofia. The staff at the reception were also helpful and kind. Our rooms were cleaned every day spotlessly. Staying at Pestana Grand made our holiday at Madeira very enjoyable. Overall we were very happy and we intend to stay at Pestana hotels in the future.
