“The whole experience was amazing as usual (i have stayed at Castanheiro before and hope to return shortly). The hotel is really amazing: from the lobby to the room, the pool and the bar at the pool. Breakfast is simply exceptional. Personel is extremely professional and kind.”

“We stayed for 7 nights. The location is superb, in the old town, you do not need to walk far to get to most places you would want to visit. The breakfast was great. Everything in hotel was very well organised in terms of Covid safety. Staff are very helpful and friendly. There is a lovely pool and bar on the rooftop and the barman impressed us when we asked whether he could make a certain type of cocktail and the reply was "I can make anything for you". We also visited the spa, had a great experience and were well looked after.”

“Modern facilities, perfect location for stay in the city and helpfully staff. Can be recomended.”

“Great, friendly and helpful staff. Lovely hotel. Great location. Really great food”

“We had a super time at the Castanheiro, right from the glass of Prosecco on arrival. The staff were charming, efficient and professional; clearly they had received proper training. The room was large, with good beds and good quality bedding. Decent size bathroom with shower. All spotlessly clean. Plenty of loungers by the rooftop pool, and an excellent bar by the pool. The hotel's restaurant is very good too; probably one of the best in Funchal. Good buffet breakfast, with serious Covid precautions. The hotel is well located, in a central position for all Funchal activities, away from the soulless 'Hotels quarter' to the west of the city. A 10 minutes stroll takes you to the old town, but the area around the hotel is well worth exploring. Reception arranged a hire car for us when none could be found in Funchal, at a decent rate, delivered to, and collected from, our hotel. We wished we could have stayed longer.”

“What’s not to like about this hotel ? It’s in an amazing location with fantastic rooms. The rooftop bar and pool are spectacular and the service from all staff was first class. We don’t normally single people out but Monica on the wet morning for breakfast with not enough tables and too many guests was just amazing!!”

“Perfect location and covid restrictions not onerous at all, just a mask in public places and use of hand gel. Loved the roof top bar. ”

“Localisation, friendly staff, tipofraphia terrace, large rooms well decorated, superb breakfast ♥️”

“Super nice staff, best location!!! Really ovely boutique hotel for a short stay to visit Funchal”

“The room was clean and spacious, staff were friendly and helpful. The rooftop pool has great facilities and a wonderful view over Funchal. Overall location of the hotel was excellent as it was close to the centre of Funchal. I would he delighted to stay here again. ”
