Excellent visit
A really comfortable and refined hotel, with excellent service. Breakfast buffet top-notch, and perfectly located in Funchal - close to all major sites, but on a quiet side street

Great hotel and staff
Fantastic hotel in a great location that was close to harbour, shops and restaurants. Located in a quiet road. Lovely, well equipped room and excellent breakfast. New Year’s celebrations were outstanding and we especially enjoyed being able to view the fireworks on the roof garden, with free drinks and food provided. All of this was enhanced by a wonderful staff team. A great stay.

This was our second stay at the hotel, this time with friends, who enjoyed their visit as much as we did. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. There was a good choice of food for the vegetarians in the group. The facilities and rooms were excellent. The location is ideal. I'm hoping we'll be able to visit again!

Tasteful refurbishment of an old property. Very friendly management and staff. Excellent breakfast, catering in general first class.
We were celebrating our anniversary and when returning after a day out found champagne and chocolates in our room, a lovely touch.
Would highly recommend this hotel.
