It is undoubtedly a great quality option when you are in Funchal. The breakfast is extensive, has many choices. Extremely helpful and professional staff as one would expect. The hotel is set in a peaceful and exceptionally nice location not far from a superb botanical garden, and good local walks, Palheiro Golf Club and the bay of Funchal.
