Due to its unique architectural style and spectacular views of the ocean, this hotel is practically an island inside an island. Perched atop a rocky sea cliff, 20 minutes by car from Funchal, the hotel boasts its position as a watchtower under the sun. Time ago, this was a country home owned by a wealthy family from Madiera, and when it was renovated into a hotel, three new buildings were added on...

Just a few miles from the capital of a traditionally tourist island, rises this hunting pavilion from the beginnings of the XIX century. Sharing the grandeur of its neighboring golf course, the three houses that comprise this inn are on the verge of classicism. The bedrooms stand out for their modern finish and well proportioned dimensions, although there is room for a more personal décor. Especi...


Nestled in the foliage of an enchanting mountaintop forest, Choupana looks out over the Funchal Bay since 2002.

At the center, an immaculate pool with a bar and adequate showers. The bedcham...

Along with a few other hotels, the Quinta Perestrello can boast about its amazing views of the Funchal bay, but that’s as far as the comparisons go. It is outclassed by rest, at least in regard to the dimension of its gardens and the impact of its vistas. Its four stars are good for a rectangular swimming pool, a well-kept lawn and small yet charming manor. In the hotel there are thick frames on t...
