Lovely stay, with a beautiful setting, friendly staff and very comfortable beds, although there are a few practical deta
Pros:

Overall, the hotel has a beautiful design. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially on the day of our check-out, when they kindly allowed us to stay in the room longer due to our significantly delayed flight. The beds were also very comfortable.

Cons:

A few things could be improved. We had to ask for the beds to be changed, and there was nowhere to put personal items in the toilet/ shower area, apart from the toilet lid, which isn’t very practical or hygienic. The family room was lovely, but it felt a little cramped for two adults and two children. Breakfast could also offer a wider selection and include more local island fruits

Pros:

Poloha v rámci historického centra.
Střešní bazén.
Skvělé snídaně.
Prostorný pokoj a pohodlné postele.

Cons:

Výhledy z oken. Z obou stran hotelu jsou úzké uličky, takže se díváte do velmi blízké zdi. Uličky navíc nevypadají při pohledu shora příliš vábně.

fantastico
Pros:

la struttura il personale e la posizione sono ottimi .

Cons:

ma quello che sconsiglio è la mezza pensione, il ristorante non è interno con menu alla carta con solo la scelta di tre portate pertanto abbia mop richiesto il rimborso della mezza pensione

Ottimo albero ma qualche accortezza in più
Pros:

La posizione della struttura è ottima, essendo proprio nel centro storico di Funchal. Mi è piaciuta anche la piscina e la palestra.

Cons:

Ho trovato la stanza un po’ piccola ed il servizio di pulizia - anche nella sala colazione - non particolarmente accurato ( vicino ai cornetti c’erano delle formiche).

Pros:

Great place, very comfy, great breakfast and good interior design!

Cons:

We loved the place - just a bit of an observation: the hotel lists itself as a 5 star place but it is really more of a solid 4 star.
