Your Destination —
Madeira is a spectacularly beautiful island, lush with vineyards and rich farmland, pitted with valleys, topped by spectacular peaks and with a coastline of sheer cliffs. The luxurious 5-Star Belmond Reid's Palace Hotel is located on a tranquil peninsula by the ocean and close to the heart of Funchal.
Funchal enjoys a magnificent setting on the Bay of Funchal, rising up from the sea in a natural amphitheatre. Local coaches can whisk you right around the island though there is more than enough to do and see in and around Funchal. The city centre is gratifyingly small, and its narrow cobbled streets host a splendid market, some intriguing little museums, shops and cafes, a salty old port area, and can easily be covered on foot. There are fine gardens to enjoy, even in the town centre, but a 5-10 minute taxi ride will take you to the island's finest estates and gardens.
Your Hotel —
Exuding character and charm, Belmond Reid's Palace has been providing brilliant service and excellent accommodation for over a hundred years, welcoming the likes of Winston Churchill and George Bernard Shaw.
Traditional luxury is effortlessly reinforced with contemporary comfort, from the fine air-conditioned bedrooms with complimentary Wi-Fi connection to the justly famous dining room. An elegant afternoon tea on the terrace is a holiday must.
