    We had a wonderful stay for our third visit

    The room was of a good standard and reasonably large. The bed was extremely comfy. The location was marvelous, next to the center of Funchal. The staff was extremely friendly. There were plenty of restaurants to eat, like Koi Sushi, just a 5-minute walk away
