"When we arrived at Quinta Bela Santiago the hotel was overbooked . Expedia is selling this hotel to a tour operator so with no room despite paying in Advance we ended up at Quinta Bela Vistas Palace . The hotel was splendid into a very quiet area of Funchal . I was upset as we wanted to be in town but realised the staff at the reception were super nice and the breakfast staff too . Sadly no restaurant opens in this hotel but we had a lovely stay in Madeira thank you. "

"Absolutely the most caring and friendly family run hotel. Minutes walk to central Funchal area.

We met John, Humberto's dad at...

"The apartment was well situated in the heart of the old town just off the famous santa maria street with painted doors and fabulous restaurants. The apartment was very comfortable and we used all the space! the balcony was the best part. The noise at night is a challenge - if you are a light sleeper, this is not for you. The taberna madeira bar is behind the property and is very loud until 2am. The bathroom could use a bigger sink and storage area - made it a bit cumbersume, but all the...
