The Reserve - the Leading Hotels of the World - Savoy Signature
This stay at The Reserve was hands down one of the most memorable luxury hotel experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the exceptional service made us feel truly welcome—warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. The rooftop infinity pool is an absolute showstopper, offering panoramic 360-degree views of the bay that change with every hour of daylight. We spent hours lounging by the Jacarandá Club terrace, sipping cocktails while watching the sun dip below the horizon. The private beach access, state-of-the-art Technogym-equipped fitness center, and serene spa were all top-tier, but what really stood out was the breakfast experience—savoring fresh pastries and coffee with a view of the ocean from the terrace. Every detail felt intentional, elegant, and deeply personal. The staff’s kindness wasn’t just professional—it felt heartfelt. We left wishing we could extend our stay, just to soak in every moment longer. This isn’t just a hotel; it’s a sanctuary for the senses. If you’re looking for unforgettable luxury in Madeira, this place should be at the top of your list.

The hospitality and personal attention here are truly exceptional—rare to find such genuine care. Joel was absolutely wonderful, warm, and attentive throughout our stay. The cleanliness was impeccable, and we were greeted with a welcome glass of wine each evening, plus fresh bread every morning. On departure, they even gave us a traditional local pastry—a lovely little touch that made us feel truly special. When I had a flight issue, the team went out of their way to assist without hesitation—something you don’t often see at hotels. It’s clear they treat guests like family. The location is fantastic too, just a short walk from the city center and easy to reach by public transit. This isn’t just a hotel—it’s a heartfelt experience. 10/10, and I’d return in a heartbeat.
Next - by Savoy Signature
My stay at Next - by Savoy Signature was truly enjoyable. The staff went above and beyond with their friendly and attentive service. Located in a charming neighborhood with a local vibe, I had plenty of great dining and drinking options just steps away. Plus, it’s only a 10-minute walk to the city center—perfect for exploring on foot. The room was spacious, clean, and quiet, offering a peaceful retreat after a day out. The only minor issue was a slight AC hum when the terrace door was open, but it didn’t disrupt my rest. The bed was incredibly comfortable—I’m usually not a fan of hotel pillows, but these were surprisingly good. Breakfast was generous and varied, with something for everyone. Whether you like fresh pastries, eggs, or local treats, there’s a little bit of everything. Overall, this hotel delivers excellent value and a memorable experience. I’d happily come back.

Alojamento Local Trigal
Staying at Alojamento Local Trigal in Funchal was an absolute delight from start to finish. The location is perfect—ideal for walking around the city, but also super convenient if you're driving, as it's easy to reach by car. Jose, our host, went above and beyond: he helped with parking arrangements, introduced us to a fantastic car rental service, and even arranged airport transfers. It felt like having a personal concierge who made everything seamless. Right next door is a cozy little café called Da Familia, where we had breakfast every morning—great selection, friendly vibe, and always fresh. Just steps away, there’s a lively pedestrian street packed with restaurants, so dining out was never an issue. The beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable, making for restful nights. Best of all? The price was outstanding for such a well-located, thoughtfully managed stay. The only minor downside is that the building isn’t very soundproof—on a couple of occasions, we were woken up by the noise of keys turning in locks or doors slamming shut. But honestly, that didn’t detract much from the overall experience. If you want a hassle-free, authentic stay in Funchal with great hospitality and unbeatable convenience, this place is a top pick.
