Eden Mar Suite Hotel

in Funchal , Madeira T rating: 4

 
  • High standards of service
  • Heated indoor pool
  • Use of Porto Mare spa
With completely refurbished rooms and a setting just minutes from the seafront, it’s no wonder this place is a consistent high-scorer with our guests.
Over the years, this grand 4T hotel has proved to be a firm favourite with guests – so much so that many come back time and time again. It’s a big place set back from the coastline in Funchal. And even though it’s got shops, bars and restaurants on its doorstep, it’s also got lots of greenery, too.

Its location makes for some great outdoor space. A figure of eight swimming pool is tucked into a roomy terrace, with palm-dotted gardens surrounding it. There’s a pool bar, as well as plenty of sunbeds and parasols.

Inside, the accommodation is a mix of bedrooms and suites. The décor is classic, so expect walls painted cream, beds of the big-and-smartly-dressed variety and sturdy wooden furniture. Extras like flatscreen cable TVs and air-conditioning come as standard. What’s more, kitchenettes with microwaves are all part of the set-up.

Another plus point about this place is its dining scene. Start the day with a buffet breakfast served down in the main restaurant. Evenings see your choices swell. As well as the main eatery, there are three à la cartes for half-board guests to enjoy - you will even get given a credit towards the menu. Take your pick from traditional Portuguese dishes in Alfama or indulge in Italian offerings in Il Basilico.

Your guide to Funchal, Madeira

“A landscape covered in blooms and greenery, and a cobbled old town filled with boutiques and wine bars – that’s the scene in Funchal.”

Madeira’s capital city is sprawled across a pea-green hillside and framed by jagged limestone cliffs. And, just like the rest of the island, it’s covered in a blanket of bougainvillea and jacaranda trees.

Down by the waterfront, a palm-lined promenade runs the length of the city, backed by grassy lawns, fountains and restaurants. Local artists spread their work out on blankets along the floor, while musicians entertain al fresco diners, while they soak up the views of the marina.

Away from the seafront, yellow taxis line up along the leafy avenues, and holidaymakers sip wine in the sunny, cobbled squares of the old town. Funchal’s terracotta-topped buildings are some of the prettiest around, too – they’re accessorised with green window shutters and flower-wrapped balconies.

As for things to do, you’ve got everything from art galleries to high-end shops to keep you busy. And you can’t visit Funchal without seeing its covered market or experiencing its top attraction – a cable car that takes you up to the mountain village of Monte. From here, you can hurtle back down towards the city in a toboggan.
