Castanheiro Boutique Hotel

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."
