A coastal town with red-roofed houses, a prominent stone castle, and a view of the sea and hills in the background.

São Roque

São Roque crowns the hillsides above Funchal, offering a glimpse into authentic Madeiran living that most tourists miss. Traditional whitewashed houses with red-tile roofs cascade down terraced landscapes, while narrow cobblestone streets wind between stone walls draped with bougainvillea. Morning walks reward you with mountain views and ocean vistas that frame this peaceful residential area. Family-run tascas serve traditional Madeiran fare like espetada and bolo do caco at affordable prices. Holiday rentals in traditional homes provide an authentic experience with mid-range pricing, though public transport is limited. The steep terrain creates challenging but rewarding walks for those seeking quiet and genuine island charm.

A tasteful blend of contemporary and traditional buildings, with our superior block room worth the extra money - larger and with a much better quality lounging area outside the patio doors. A nice, personal sized hotel as a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World group. Breakfast was intimate, uncrowded and orders of hot food came in seconds. The gardens are immaculate and there were ample staff everywhere throughout our stay attending both to maintaining the internal and external ambiance....

Don't go uptown to the tourist area where all the hotels are - concrete jungle! Old town is best for eateries and bars - especially the rum bar - hard to find but a wee gem. It is on the second section of the old street and has a balcony which overlooks the street - the guy there is fantastic looks like you are in his front room but it's an amazing place to sample rum - he has a massive choice. Do the Nun's valley - 1/2 day excursion as lets you see the remote side- mountains and...

We had a fantastic time here. The room was big and comfortable and the resort was beautifully maintained, with lovely gardens. A great place to relax and unwind. Breakfast was excellent with a lot of variety, catering for a wide range of dietary requirements. The various restaurants offered decent food and a good option if not wanting to venture out in the evening. The staff were all fantastic throughout. I would definitely recommend this place and would happily stay there again.

Suite Hotel Eden Mar, by PortoBay

This was our first time in Funchal, but our choice of hotel was excellent. The suite was of a good size and well supported with equipment for our needs. The balcony was great, and we had a lovely view of the sea. It was a little noisier than we were expecting, but part of that was due to a nearby hotel being renovated. I expect that rooms facing the interior of the hotel would be quieter. The ensuite was very practical and the rooms were cleaned each day to a very high standard. Towels were also...

This was our first trip to Madeira, and we found the hotel lived up to our expectations in all ways. We were unable to have a sea view, but looking out from our 18th floor room across part of the town, which was beautifully lit, and the mountains, was so lovely that we didn't close our curtains, just so we could look out if we awoke in the night. A joyful experience that we hope to repeat at some time

Brilliant location, really great apartment. Nice and modern and clean. If you want to use the sofa bed you have to specfically tell them ahead of time and we didnt so the bed wasnt made up but we called them and their communication was brilliant and they did it very quickly. Mariana at customer services was very helpful you also need to ensure you have the code to check in we didnt so we had to call when we arrived too. Overall though great aprtment and and I do recommend.

Our room was comfortable, overlooking the pool and sea views, clean, shady balcony and very effective curtains, such that we overslept on many days! Most of the other guests appeared to be mainly a mix of older British, French and Germans which produced a civilised atmosphere and was quiet at night. Of course this might be different at other times of year. We especially enjoyed the food and range of high quality...

I stayed at Ocean Gardens Hotel for two weeks in March 2015. The staff were friendly and helpful and knowledgeable about the surrounding area. The hotel was clean and comfortable (although the mattress on the bed was a bit too hard for my liking). Rooms were serviced daily. Downside - this hotel is on the outskirts of Funchal, which could be an inconvenience if you wished to be in the middle of everything, but does run a shuttle bus to the town centre - which is free.
