Excellent location, friendly staff, free car park and great breakfast.
Pros:

The Vine is in a perfect location for seeing Funchal and with free car parking in an underground car park, made hiring a car at the airport easy - 25 min drive to the hotel. From there, access to the whole island was straightforward.
On the first night we discovered a problem with the bath plumbing which was repaired and sorted within 15 minutes of us contacting reception - impressive.
All the staff were friendly and welcoming and the breakfast buffet was excellent.

Prima hotel in Funchal
Pros:

Mooi kamer met ruim bed. Kamer is stil. Ruime badkamer. Op het dakterras is er een zwembad met uitzicht over Funchal. Ontbijtbuffet was goed met zeer ruime keuze. Parkeren was gratis in de parkeergarage onder het hotel. Het hotel ligt aan de rand van het oude centrum van Funchal. Zeer goed gegeten bij restaurants van Chef Lulio Pereira: Akua, Kampo en Theo's. Allen zijn een aanrader.

Cons:

Niets

Good location, especially if you have a car
Pros:

The location is excellent, situated in a very good area for exploring Funchal on foot and walking around the city. At the same time, it is tucked away from the noise of the city center itself. The staff was very professional. The rooms are clean, and it's clear that everyone is working hard.

Breakfast is quite good with a solid selection. The value for money is great. I especially liked that the hotel has its own garage and that parking is free of charge.

Cons:

My main complaint concerns the design of the rooms and bathrooms, which feel "over-designed." Although the bathroom is spacious, it isn't functional. There isn't enough space to hang towels to dry after use. The same applies to the sink area and the storage for toiletries. A space that large should be much more practical.

The sauna is extremely small; it should be made clear that it’s a sauna "in name only" rather than a proper sauna or wellness facility.
