The Madeira is one of the few hotels right in the centre of Funchal.
And given how hilly this city is, it’s worth knowing it’s one of the few on the flat, too.Next door there’s the Municipal Gardens, full of tropical flowers and shrubs.
And the cobbled old town, with its cable car and 17th-century fort, is a 10-minute walk away.A huge plus-point to this place is, even though it’s in a central location, it’s got a rooftop pool so you can still spend some of your holiday simply sunbathing and taking a dip.
Food-wise you’ll be set up for the day with a buffet breakfast and during the day and evening you can take some time out in the coffee shop and bar.
