We had a lovely stay. The hotel is situated on a hill above the centre of Funchal. It takes about 20- 25 minutes to walk down. Going up the hill would be a big exercise. The hotel offers several shuttle connections into town a day. Pre-booking is advisable. Otherwise taxis are plentiful and cost are reasonable. The superior room with garden view was roomy and very clean. The interior is traditional, perhaps a little old-fashioned. A few modern touches would have elevated the room experience to today’s standards without disturbing the overall look. The breakfast was a treat with a good selection of egg dishes à la carte. The staff at the reception, at the bar and in the restaurant/breakfast room were very friendly, efficient, helpful and thoughtful. The gardens were a delight with some outer areas still under construction, it would seem. We went to the restaurant on one evening during our stay. It offers good food. Otherwise, Funchal offers an array of restaurants for all palates. A point from a previous reviewer - it is better to consider going up the cable car when: 1) the hill is not covered in clouds, mist or fog, and 2) when there are no cruise ships in the habour.
