Situated between the sea and the mountains, the hotels of Funchal reflect the image of this authentic historic archipelago blessed with floral landscapes. Discovered by the 15th century Portuguese seafarers, Madeira is the heir to a rich colonial past. It is Funchal which boasts the most number of turn of the century buildings, most notably the magnificent cathedral. The old town, also known as the 'Sé', is where many of the neighbourhood's roads begin and where most people stay amongst the artisanal boutiques and the market with its host of flavours. Its architecture and luxuriant gardens make Funchal the perfect town for hotels of charm. Built for the most part during the 19th century, quintas are former stately mansions which have been converted into elegant hotels with historic décor, traditional furniture, red tiles and green shutters which all blend in to the vast gardens. These prestigious properties will charm couples who have come away for a romantic break and to recharge batteries on the island of Madeira. If you can bag a sea view, swimming pool or spa, all the better!
