Had a great stay! Breakfast had good options with an exceptional view. The front desk staff was very welcoming and efficient despite having had technical issues the day of my arrival. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had pretty much everything I needed.

The location was perfect for being close enough to the main attractions by walking or a quick car ride. We loved the view into the gardens over the pool to see the ocean. The breakfast included was the perfect start to every day and so convenient.

Considered one of the most beautiful cities in Portugal, charming Funchal is the capital of Madeira Island. It's 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 the island's slopes and colorful towns.
Founded in 1424, its location allowed it to quickly become an important trading harbor, 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.

3-4 days is plenty.
3-4 days is plenty. There are surprisingly beautiful gardens & green spaces giving a break from all the noise & congestion. Beautiful flowers & trees blooming everywhere during the May Flower Festival. When multiple cruise ships are in port at once, it is packed. Driving & parking is a nightmare. Summer season must be a crowded mess. Some beautiful vistas, but few places to pull over & enjoy them. Very high fog shrouded mountains.
The tourist board proclaims that Madeira in general is the Hawaii of the Atlantic. Lots of Banana trees, some palms, some similar flowers, yes. The hiking is in the cold wet fog & the beaches can't compare.

A lovely place to visit for its scenery, cityscape, flora and food. Visits to the many gardens were so colourful, especially Monte via the cable car. Easy walking around the city with lots of shops and restaurants. The Flower Festival was colourful with parades, folk art and music, classic car parade and lots more to see. Several interesting art galleries and museums to visit as well.

The island offers tremendous variety that takes time to discover.
2 weeks would go by very quickly here. Renting a car almost essential as it allows you to visit sites away from. the organised bus trips, which would be good if you don't fancy driving and the inevitable route finding issues.

Madeira is a lovely island with many spectacular hikes and breathtaking views, but the city of Funchal was the least satisfying aspect of our visit. Driving in and out of the city, to and from our hotel, was stressful and confusing: roads are narrow and wind around blind curves, the locals drive very fast, and because parking is seemingly a free-for-all you spend a lot of time dodging parked cars and making room for other cars to go past you. The downtown businesses and restaurants have surrendered entirely to the crowds of tourists from the daily cruise ships, which dock in the middle of the central harbor. As a result, the staff at shops and eateries are thoroughly tired and unenthusiastic about their jobs. We plan to return to Madeira, but we will definitely pick another town to stay in.

Madeira is a wonderful location to visit.
Madeira is a wonderful location to visit. It feels incredibly safe and relaxed. We traveled in the Spring and it was a bit too cool to swim. I would absolutely return in the Summer. We had 2 nights but really 3-5 nights would have been better.
Our return flight got cancelled due to winds, which happens frequently, so plan accordingly by getting the insurance or make sure to have a buffer if you have a connecting flight from a different airline.
The location was just a short walk up the hill from Funchal old town. The apartment is really spacious and comfortable. The bed is lovely. Everything works. And it was great value for money. Funchal is a great base for exploring the island. We went to Reids' Hotel for afternoon tea, the tour of Blandy's Madeira wine lodge, the botanical gardens, two Levada walks - one guided and one we went to on the bus by ourselves, and a swim at the lido. The apartment was only a short walk away from lots of great restaurants too.
Perfect 12 days stay on Madeira. Very friendly and supportive host.
Very good localisation, walking distance to the city center, close to shopping center, bus stop.
Spacious apartament with everthing what you need and fantastic view on the ocean. Private parking place in underground parking. Feeling of safe and comfort.
The apartment is located in a residential part, much more atmospheric than the hotel part of
Funchal. You can feel the real vibe of the city.
Perfect base to everyday trips across the island.
This apartment is very good for a couple to stay or family if the owner provide a aditional bed as apartment is big. The apartment is new and in city center o Funchal Where you can find all good atraction of Madeira just by fill minutes city walk. The light and ventilation in the partment is great. If you like to be in city center but no high noise this place is for you. Also if you are tall and have problems to find comfortable beds to sleep and showers with right high too you, you gonna find in this apartment.
We had a great stay at the Apartamento Batista by Horizon View Madeira. Edgar was amazing, he made the communication very easy and was super helpful even when our flight got cancelled and we had to change our check-in time. The apartment is great, it's big and it has all the right utensils. It was easy to get to Funchal center by foot (around 25min) but it's easier if you have a car (there's also a private parking in the property which was a great plus). I would definitely stay again.
Our recent stay at this Old Madeiran villa was a mixed experience, marked by both its historical charm and several notable challenges.
The villa itself is a treasure trove of history, adorned with artifacts from the 19th and 20th centuries, offering a unique glimpse into the past. For history enthusiasts, this aspect of the stay was undoubtedly fascinating. Additionally, the presence of books and maps about Madeira's attractions provided valuable insights for our explorations.
What an amazing hotel! The staff are so friendly and helpful, the service is fantastic. What you get included exceeds the price you paid as this is a stunning hotel with beautiful interior throughout. Location is great, right in the centre only a 5 minute walk from the sea front. The roof top bar and pool.. oh wow! Incredible views. Me and my family were so impressed we'd love to stay here again when we next visit Madeira.
Loved the hotel. Very clean. Comfortable beds and wonderful rain shower. Breakfast was excellent. Staff very helpful with tours and recommendations. On a pedestrian street with several restaurants just out the front door. Saw lunch at our hotel seemed busy so gave it a try and also excellent. A market is just a few
blocks. Cable car, old town and Madeira tastings all easy walks.
The hotel was amazing, as we were celebrating our wedding in Funchal. All the guests had a comfortable stay. Claudio helped us, even before we arrived to the hotel. He has very helpful and was there for us.
The taxi driver, Fabio was amazing and nice to talk to, super value for our rides.
The breakfast and massage made our days, super compare to our hotels where we stayed in Madeira.
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.
Good sized room and bed. Bathroom well equipped. The location is good and only a ten min walk towards the centre of Funchal. The breakfast has very good choice, however quality of cooking could be better. The pool facilities and location are excellent and the pool is very clean although not heated. The price is good for a hotel which has been ranked 5 star.
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.
Suite was clean and spacious, located a 5 min walk away from Funchal centre and about 15mins from the old town/cable car. Angelo (the host) was amazing, nothing was too much trouble & he is extremely knowledgeable & passionate about Madeira. He hosts a BBQ on a Friday evening for guests and this was the best food we had whilst in Madeira.
The host and hostess could not have been more accommodating. They provided maps marked up with places of interest, restaurants, food and beverage suggestions.
They provided champagne for New Years, wine, Madeira wine, liquor, water, fruit, bread, home made jam, etc.
Beautiful views of the ocean and city from the living room and balcony
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
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.
The property was really lovely clean the views from the property were amazing the breakfast and drinks was lovely too. Also the staff were really nice and friendly as well overall amazing modern hotel in Funchal Madeira.
Super COSY. Great location. Beth is a super host and she is always available if/when needed. If I have the chance to come back to Madeira, this is definitely the place I would like to stay. Thank you Beth!
Loved the view from our room, the bottle of Madeira wine and candy, and the general ambience of the hotel! Staff were very helpful regarding recommendations for nearby restaurants and activities.
Beautiful decor. The pool is lovely with a fantastic view! The breakfast was amazing. Great selection. Fresh fruit. Wonderful hotel walking distance to old town Funchal!!
