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.
Interesting town. Nice shops and a wide variety of restaurants.
It is a bit hilly, which could be an issue for some visitors - but taxis and buses are available.
Buses to other destinations are available and fun to use.

Beautiful garden city with well kept gardens and trees...
Beautiful garden city with well kept gardens and trees everywhere. Incredible array of restaurants and bars, which were well priced and didn't disappoint. Weather was great, averaging around 20 deg C during our stay creeping up to 24 deg C on some days, but low humidity. Quite windy some days but we ate breakfast outside every day. It is extremely hilly though, away from the promenade - so a reasonable degree of fitness and mobility needed to fully enjoy (or use plentiful local taxis and buses).
We also stayed just outside Funchal, with a hire car, the previous week. This gave us a chance to see more of the island, which is worth doing - plenty of half and full day tours from Funchal. You'll need some layers & waterproofs when heading up into the mountains, which rise up to 2,000m and have very different weather to Funchal! There were still plenty of things left for another time, even after a fortnight. We'll be back!

I've been to Funchal 4 times in the past year.
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...
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.
Since I've been going for about 16 years, that tells you mainly what you need to know. It's situated right next to the Atlantic. There can't be a hotel that gets you closer both for rooms and the pool. Breakfast or lunch right on the terrace next to the Atlantic, again unbeatable. Literally minutes walk from the centre of Funchal unlike many other hotels which claim they are but are nothing of the sort. Lovely staff over all the years. Why on earth would you go elsewhere for your slice of Madeiran heaven.
The staff were so friendly and helpful. Fantastic breakfast. Plenty of choice and all fresh. The grounds were spacious and plenty of different areas to sit in. Loved the daily happy hour! We ate both in the Alfama and Basilico restaurants and the food was excellent. Elton John tribute night was great fun. Played the crazy golf and pétanque which was fun. Courtesy bus was not running but Buses to town centre and airport stopped just outside hotel. Will return to this hotel when we visit Madeira again.
The hotel is just a short walk away from the old town and most of Funchal's main attractions, and it's suitably located even for those who don't like elevation. The rooms and public areas are clean and very well maintained, the furnishing is nice and modern. The rooftop pool area has a fantastic view over the city and the sea. For breakfast, there is a wide variety of treats available in a smorgasbord system. The staff was very helpful throughout our stay.
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.
Beautiful location
Nearby restaurant with local food
And coffee with sea view 😍
Easy transportation available
Bus 01 to Funchal in every 30 to 40 min available near house

Overall, I am in love with this place ,people and city 😍
Thank you
gorgeous small boutique hotel in the heart of Funchal. quiet pedestrian road runs along side filled with shops and amazing restaurants. location was quiet, perfect for sleeping with fantastic beds. Amenities were 5 star, staff were authentic and kind and very friendly. Location is close to everything within a 5 min walk… food was excellent 😊… not one negative thing to say, a hidden gem and I recommend to anyone!
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.
Absolutely perfect place to stay in Funchal. The flat is impeccable, very convenient and well- equipped. Right in the city center, but at the same time peaceful at night time. Very comfortable bed and comfortable shower. In close vicinity a bakery and a mall with a supermarket. Great contact with Joana and Luís. Next time in Madeira I would definitely like to stay there again!
Beautiful traditional hotel very close to the old town and all its restaurants. A real Madeira experience that one can't get at all the characterless modern hotels. Superb facilities with two lovely pools and the ability to swim in the sea. Very friendly and helpful staff. Quiet at night - a real oasis- but within easy walking distance nightlife. A perfect place to stay.
Excellent location , near to restaurants, the old town area and buses to explore the island. Madeira is so pretty and clean and everyone is very friendly and helpful. The Christmas lights and free musical events, near the hotel, on most nights made it even better .we also enjoyed the rooftop pool - a fabulous hotel right in the heart of Funchall.
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.
Restaurants and the town centre is in a walking distance. The apartment was well-equiped and nicely furnished. The host was waiting for us with a heartwarming surprise in a form of fruit basket and a nice welcome sign, as well as providing us with useful suggestions and tips regarding Funchal and Madeira!
Great location just a short walk from the old town in Funchal. Buses easy to access as well. Somewhat steep hill going up to the hotel with no sidewalk, but easily managed and completely worth it. Beautiful pool and view, as well as a lovely breakfast every morning. Receptive and friendly staff as well.
We are very satisfied with our stay in FourViews Baia. Nice room, very good cleaning service, excelent breakfast, long check out, free pool, wellness, great bars etc. One of the best hotels, what I visited. Location near old town, free parking.If I come back to Madeira, I will only stay in Baia. Thanks
The best location from which to explore Funchal! My room had a balcony looking out over the small plaza, which was great. Check-in was easy, the place itself has more than everything you need-- a complete kitchen, good bed, even a bottle of Madeira wine. I would return here if I visited Funchal again.
Superb place with comfy rooms with sea view close to shops and local amenities. It is easily reachable by the airport shuttle bus or taxi/car and well equipped to relax and recover after your Madeira island hopping trips. Dinning in the half board restaurant is a must try in a lifetime.
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.
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.
