- Castanheiro Boutique Hotel

Located in the very centre of Funchal, in the heart of the historic centre, alongside the Palace of Jesuits, this dazzling boutique hotel arose from an innovative concept blending design, detailed architectural restoration and a welcoming atmosphere. The property is two steps away from the main shops, museums, restaurants and bars in the city. All the stylish and smartly appointed rooms and suites boast city and courtyard view. In some of these rooms there is a choice of fully furnished seating balcony and a fully equipped kitchenette with cooking facilities for a memorable stay. The hotel offers excellent facilities such as a lap swimming pool where guests will enjoy panoramic views overlooking the Bay of Funchal while tasting a refreshing drink in one of the sun loungers.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
Well where do I start this is the best hotel and holiday we have ever had in Europe. The hotel was so central but away from the crowds- food my goodness was amazing and so well presented. We stayed B&B but had really amazing coffee, service and a choice of buffet or made to order- I love an omelette and these have been the best. All the team are amazing and so friendly and helpful. All in all one of our best experiences- The island is gorgeous and so much to see- Will be back.
Such a perfect time at Castanheiro hotel. Near to all major sites yet just far away from noise of main town area. Room was very clean and spacious. Staff were outstanding. Lovely roof top pool and bar. Breakfast buffet had an enormous amount to choose from with extra special omelettes or scrambled eggs at no extra cost. Although it wasn’t cheap, we could not fault it in any way.
Excellent hotel. Great location. Highly recommend. Claudia in Reception is wonderful asset to the team.
We had a wonderful 5-night stay at Hotel Castanheiro. The building has a beautiful history and it is well located. Our room was spacious, clean, quiet and had everything we needed. We ate breakfast every morning and dinner, a couple of nights, at Tipografia restaurant and enjoyed the delicious selections! The staff, however, were the most important part of our great experience! Thank you, everyone!!
This was our second visit and it did not disappoint. The mix of history, design and architecture round each corner is fabulous . Too many staff to pick out the best. They are all amazing and work very hard to please their guest. If you’re reading this review with a view to going….. don’t hesitate!
