The staff including Managers were very pleasant, accommodating and spoke perfect english. We travelled with our family of seven using 3 rooms. The breakfast was fantastic offering, cereal, fresh fruit, eggs, bacon, coffees and my favourite freshly squeezed orange juice to name a few items. Our rooms were very comfortable and spacious. Separate large rooms for both the toilet and walk in shower. We had a great view of the sea port where the cruise ships were docked. The Vine has the best location in Funchal and is an easy walk to many attractions. This was my second visit to the Vine.

I absolutely LOVED this hotel !! I don't know if they had some off season prices, or if it's the fact I was staying during the week and not the weekend, but I wasn't expecting something THAT nice for the price I paid ! first, the hotel is very tastefully decorated, from the common areas to the rooms, then the staff is awesome, very helpful, smiling, nice, at reception or in the restaurant or the cleaning staff. The rooms are big, confortable, with private balcony. View is amazing, on the sea or on the cliffs. You probably have amazing sunrise when the weather is fine. They are right next to the free natural swimming pools, and they give us a voucher for the other ones, where you normally have to pay. the rooftop is amazing, with beds to relax, a big chess game and a swimming pool. Unfortunately the weather didn't let me enjoy that. Heated swimming pool in the ground floor too. You need to book for the sauna/hammam. The restaurant was very good, from the breakfast to the diner.

Pico Ruivo peak

FAQs about hotels in Madeira Islands

The Island of Eternal Spring

With lush landscapes, brightly coloured flowers and a mild, year-round climate, it’s easy to see why Madeira is called the ‘Island of Eternal Spring’. Its interior is mountainous, so most resorts are coastal, many at the foot of steep cliffs.

One such resort is Paul do Mar, a fishing village known for whale watching and surfing, as is Jardim do Mar, on a plateau just east. Nearby Calheta has 2 white sand beaches protected by breakwaters.

The main resort is the capital Funchal. Cascading down slopes, it has the lion’s share of 5-star hotels in Madeira on Booking.com. A cable car ascending into the hills offers fantastic views towards the harbour where cruise liners and ferries from neighbouring Porto Santo island are berthed.

East, Caniço’s sandy beach is nestled between rocky cliffs, while Santa Cruz is the nearest resort to Madeira Airport. Machico is the 2nd biggest city and has the best nightlife outside Funchal, but the best Madeira hotels for families are in quieter resorts such as Porto da Cruz in the north.

Santana is home to the triangular-shaped, thatched houses typical of the island, and twisting mountain roads lead to São Vicente, an attractive hill town with red-roofed houses. By the north-western tip is the village of Porto Moniz whose offshore rocks shelter natural rock pools.

We loved our stay and would come back. Love the grounds, location, friendly staff. The 60s architecture was so lovely, beautiful trees, landscaping. I loved the retro style but facilities have also evolved with the style. Room was spacious and very comfortable. Cleaning team very good each day. Pool is beautiful. Marble is gorgeous. We got up for sunrise on the beach each day, just a couple of minutes to get on to beach and breakfast was very relaxing. Staff relaxed and mostly very friendly and helpful. Beach bar a nice place to spend time. Lovely reading room and bar area to relax in hotel. The spa beside hotel is stunning. Guests can get a discount.

The down town of Funchal has a lot of touristy things to do.

The down town of Funchal has a lot of touristy things to do. However, it isn’t all that big and there’s only so many times you dan walk the oceanfront or the Avenida without it being repetitive. If you don’t have a car, going anywhere other than downtown is an issue. I didn’t want to drive there since it looked a bit crazy for me so we were fairly limited. And walking isn’t necessarily the best way around because everything is uphill on the mountain. You can take cabs at about €10 per ride but you have to have a plan for where you’re going. Luckily, it wasn’t my first time there so I’d done a lot of the touristy things before. Also, since I had business to attend to, being right downtown was a definite advantage.

Machico resort is not for the night clubbing holiday maker, It was however for us a slow paced setting with a good selection of restaurants and supermarkets with walking routes for those who wish. The harbour offered boat trips, whale watching and surf lessons, the latter was enjoyed from the safety of a dry vantage point. Local bus into Funchal for 2-60 euro single was 50 mins away which opens up further opportunities for excursions and sight seeing like the red or yellow hop on hop off bus tours which operate from the promenade where the ticket is valid for 24 hours allowing to to spend time where the mood takes. Weather forecasting in resort will not take into account the drizzle from the mountains with can add a cooling break from the sunshine and occasional rain. Enjoy.

Santana is a perfect location to explore the north coast.

Santana is a perfect location to explore the north coast. Not far away from airport and capital, but still on the north. Two hiking starting points are nearby: Queimadas and Achada do Teixeira. Santana also has an only large supermarket on the whole north coast, so you can buy delicious food right there. No such option in Porto Moniz or Seixal.

Calhetta itself is small and the main part of it centres around the harbour. As you might expect this means that all the major activities are boat-based such as whale and dolphin watching, sailing, fishing, excursions etc. but there are also lots of restaurants and bars overlooking the harbour where you can get a great meal - especially if you like fish - or just relax for the evening and watch the sunset.
