Four-course dinners

Offering three different board types – Bed and Breakfast, Half Board and Full Board, guests aren’t limited to eating in the hotel, allowing them to try the local eateries if they prefer.

O Pórtico: It doesn’t get much more fancy than this restaurant with its location inside what used to be a ballroom. Taking care of your breakfast, lunch and dinner with a four-course menu come evening featuring both local and international options, you’re in for a delectable culinary experience.

Winter Garden: This beautiful venue serves breakfast buffet style with both indoor and outdoor tables. Grab a spot out on the terrace and take in those early morning views of Funchal Bay as you savour delicate Madeiran pastries alongside homemade jam and bowls of the freshest fruit. 

Por Do Sol: Another fantastic spot for admiring your surroundings, this conveniently placed cocktail bar is a great place for sunset vistas come evening accompanied by live music three times a week, while days are best spent sampling its many light bites.

Chill-out sessions

Every day is made for relaxing when you choose this laid-back hotel. The pool tends to steal the show with its extensive size, green surroundings and incredible views, not to mention it comes with a separate children’s section if you’re travelling with little ones. There are also ample sunloungers beside the water when you want to lay horizontal under those heated rays.

The restful options don’t end there, there’s also a wellness centre on hand where you can soak in a hot tub, delight in the positive effects of the sauna or you can always opt for a Turkish bath treatment if you want to completely de-stress. Those gym bunnies don’t have to worry about missing a workout either with workout equipment at their disposal.  

History on your doorstep

Located in Funchal’s Old Town, you could be getting lost between its cosy alleyways in no time, particularly if you happen to stumble upon the artistic doors of Santa Maria, the oldest and most colourful streets in the capital. Or, you can always take the cable car to Monte where wicker sledges are on hand to transport you through its avenues. 

There are plenty of upmarket places to eat, shop and drink on your doorstep when you don’t want to dine at the hotel. From your grounds, you’ve got unbeatable bay and garden vistas on tap, exactly what Madeira is famous for.
