Wow - what can I say - the hotel was just perfect. Small, spotlessly clean, maid service daily, very comfortable bed and pillows, a large TV in the room, free WIFI, a great breakfast, helpful and knowledgeable reception staff (particularly Laura), and right in the centre of Funchal with everything you needed a few minutes walk, including some lovely little restaurants in the nearby side streets.So much nicer than the huge and impersonal big hotels in the tourist area to the west of the town. I really can't praise it enough, and would certainly recommend it, particularly as a solo traveller of a certain age!
