Short stay holiday
The hotel was friendly, welcoming with good facilities. Our visit was in March with mixed weather. If you hire a car from the airport get good directions. We got lost and the hotel receptionist did an excellent job of talking us in from the centre of Funchal. We can recommend Montanha for excellent food with friendly staff. The hotel's courtsey bus into Funchal is the best way in and out of the town.

We stayed the first two weeks of January and the weather was fantastic. The only down side was the roof top pool.... the temperature never rose above 4.5 C whereas the sea was averaging...Read more
