The Details
Madeira’s capital city has a wonderfully laid-back, relaxing pace of life which you can’t help falling into from the moment you arrive. Nowhere more so than at the charming Quintinha Sao Joao – one of our favourite hotels on the island and your home-from-home for the week.
You’re a short, five-minute taxi ride from the seafront Avenida do Mar, Funchal’s marina and the famous Zona Velha old town district, and you’ll have time to explore the city at your leisure – time to ride the teleferico cable car and the carro de cesto taboggans, time to sample the best of the island’s seasonal cuisine, and time at sea with Madeira’s whale and dolphin populations.
You’ll also explore further afield, with a guided tour of coastal villages and river valleys of Eastern Madeira, a visit to the famous Cabo Girao skywalk, and a tour of the secluded Curral das Freiras Nuns Valley.
You can also personalise your Seven Nights in Funchal by adding extra excursions and activities, and if you’d prefer to self-cater, our Old Town Apartments are ideal if you’d like to stay in the heart of the lively Zona Velha.
