“This adults-only hotel, nestled in Funchal's historic heart, struck me as a sophisticated retreat with its rooftop jacuzzi offering ocean and harbor vistas. The combination of a prime location near São Tiago Beach and daily live music creates an appealing atmosphere. I particularly appreciate the option of thematic dining experiences and the proximity to a two Michelin-starred restaurant.”

Really good Hotel Experience
attentive staff advantageous position
The staff was attentive and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. The position is advantageous. I visited the recently opened Restart Restaurant. Tapas was amazing. Probably the best among the restaurants I visited. The staff around the pool was obliging. They made the holiday nice.
I arrived late, and there was no compensation for the weather-related delay. The hotel did not offer a welcome drink. The shower was over the bath in an expensive sea view room. This was difficult. Sunbeds had an unusual design. It was hard to get on and off.
