We were on the island for Funchal Marathon weekend and this place was perfect for the marathon start, as it was about a 3-min walk.
We loved Madeira, and we really liked this hotel. Loads of food options around, a 30min walk to Funchal itself, and a car park about 3mins up the road. We used the car to explore more of the island, and this was a great base.
We would happily stay here again as it was great.
