"We had a lovely stay at Barceló Funchal Old Town! The hotel was spotless, the staff were incredible, and the rooftop pool was a highlight. We loved being right in the heart of Funchal, just a short walk from the marina, restaurants, shops, atms, etc… and an easy ride to the airport. My only small complaint was that our room felt a little warm and humid at times. Everything else was wonderful, and I’d happily stay here again."
Savoy Palace - The Leading Hotels of the World - Savoy Signature
10/10 Excellent
"The Savoy Palace was absolutely amazing in every way - from the decor, cleanliness, style, ambiance, the grounds, the customer service to the food! Every single employee that we encountered showed such professionalism, warmth, and kindness. The front desk made sure we had everything we needed, made excellent dining recommendations and answered every question we had. We had our 6-year-old with us and as soon as she stepped into the Kids Club/playroom she wanted to come back every day. Not only was the playroom beautiful, it was also clean. Anna & Beatriz from the kids’ playroom were so nurturing, kind and were the reason our daughter wanted to come back every day. They were amazing! We LOVED everything about the Savoy Palace and truly elevated our Madeira stay! We didn’t want to leave!"
"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."
"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."
"This resort is in an excellent location for tourists. Half way between the airport and the major city of Funchal. The views are stunning. The staff friendly and very pleasant. The food choices were vast and delicious. We signed up for the all inclusive and it was well worth it. Lots of great excursions, hikes, adventures, dining and shopping."
"Lovely hotel. Breakfast was excellent, rooms large and comfortable. Pools and spa services were excellent. Walking distance to a lovely mall, beach, and many great restaurants. Short bolt ride to downtown Funchal. Loved it."
