Find hotels in Sao Goncalo from CA $120

The best area to stay in São Gonçalo is generally around the upper parts of the neighbourhood, closer to the main road (ER102) connecting to Funchal, for its convenient access and elevated views.

This part of São Gonçalo offers a more residential feel with a mix of villas and smaller hotels. It's known for its stunning panoramic views of Funchal, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Desertas Islands, particularly from properties situated on the hillsides. The area benefits from being slightly elevated, offering a sense of peacefulness away from the busier city centre, while still being a short drive to Funchal.

Couples looking for a relaxing escape with beautiful scenery will find this area particularly appealing. Many accommodations here feature private balconies or terraces superb for enjoying the sunrise or sunset over the ocean.

The best time to visit Sao Goncalo is typically during the shoulder seasons of spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October).

These months offer pleasant weather, with comfortable temperatures and less rainfall than the winter months. You'll find the island's natural beauty in full bloom during spring, and the autumn brings a gentle warmth, great for outdoor activities. There are also fewer crowds compared to the peak summer period, meaning a more relaxed experience at popular attractions and easier access to restaurants.

For travellers looking for a quieter trip with good weather for exploring, spring is ideal as the gardens and landscapes are particularly lush. Autumn is also excellent for those who prefer slightly cooler temperatures for hiking and sightseeing without the peak summer rush.

While summer (July and August) is sunny and warm, it's also the busiest and most expensive time to visit.
