Madeira Panoramico Hotel

A superb location high up on the hillside overlooking Funchal with top quality spacious rooms, delightful staff and excellent food. We are vegetarians and booked half board; the chef came to us at our first meal, introduced himself and discussed all our requirements for the week and described every dish in the buffet that day. He even prepared a dish specially for me that evening. At breakfast the eggs were all cooked to order, including omelettes, with a substantial buffet offering everything you can imagine. Beds were very comfy - 2 singles pushed together as is normal here - and good towels and toiletries in the ensuite. View from our sea-view room was over the harbour and the Ilhas Desertas where the sun rose every morning between two of the islands - spectacular! Easy drive off the main motorway around town and a small car park on site. If this is full there is easy street parking outside the hotel. Beautiful infinity pool also an indoor heated pool and a garden area.

Nothing! There was some traffic noise from the road outside the hotel but not enough to bother us at all.
