Top Pinheiro Hotel Reviews

The Vine

10/10 Excellent

"We were at the Vine Hotel in downtown Funchal for two nights and found it to be fantastic. The staff was incredible from the moment Luis met us in the car park until we checked out with Joao. The breakfast buffet was extremely well-run (loved Bella Bot!) and one of the best we’ve had in Portugal so far. The location was perfect, walking distance to the cable car, great restaurants (Theo & Akua) and Santa Catarina Park. Our spacious room (402) had an interesting layout with a big tub and a separate dressing room for our suitcases. We also enjoyed the rooftop pool and outdoor bar both days we were there with incredible 360° views of the city. Loved everything about The Vine!"

Hotel Riu Madeira - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel Riu Madeira exceeded our expectation. The warm welcome at the front desk team made us feel right at home. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and kept spotlessly clean every single day with meticulous care. The dining has endless, mouthwatering choices for everyone. The bar was open around the clock, ready with great drinks and friendly service whenever we wanted to unwind with the onsite nightly entertainment. The location is overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and so near the airport and Funchal. We had such a wonderful time and would highly recommend to everyone who visit Madeira!"

Sentido Galosol

8/10 Good

"The facility was amazing but we did not get to utilize it much as we toured the island for 3 days. The pizza restaurant was very good, food and staff. Atlantis was good food but staff did not know what a gin martini was and I got a gin and tonic with oranges etc. The staff in the lounge above were not friendly. Our room 4204 was below a penthouse (private suite) that was noisy, kids running around and furniture moving. The bar in the main restaurant closed at 6:00 so we were not able to access after our days trip around Madeira."

The Editory Garden Carmo Funchal

10/10 Excellent

"The small gym was empty both times I went, which was great for me. I never saw anyone swimming in the gorgeous pool, possibly because it’s not very hot this time of year. Staff at reception very helpful. Located extremely close to restaurants and shops. Only thing I didn’t like was breakfast. They have 2 coffee machines that maybe fancy drinks which were great, but the food selection wasn’t appetizing. It was on par with a normal hotel continental breakfast."

Porto Mare Hotel, by PortoBay

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous hotel stay. Large room with very comfortable beds, house keeping excellent, breakfast very good with excellent hot and cold food choices. Amazing pool with various sunbathing areas and sufficient loungers. Good snack bar for lunches and drinks by pool. Good indoor pool with sauna and steam room. Walkable into old town, with supermarket, and good bars and restaurants in local vicinity."

Castanheiro Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Location is just about perfect, right in the centre of historical Funchal, a few minutes from the cathedral and ten minutes from the cable car up to Monte. Nice, spacious room, even had proper studio kitchen facilities and gear to go with it. Good view from the roof top, and great breakfast offering. Very helpful staff, even provided recommendations on dealing with a flu that was starting to make its presence known. And we were allowed to utilise the spa in the afternoon after checking out on the day of departure."
