Francisco's, hotel in Funchal

Located in Funchal in the Madeira Islands region, with Almirante Reis Beach and Sao Tiago Fort nearby, Francisco's provides accommodation with free private parking.

I just stayed for one night, so don't have much to say except that the room was presented very well, with a lot of space, and that Carlos was a really nice and helpful guy. Also, the location is good, as it's only 15-20 minutes' walk into the centre of the city. There are bus stops on the roads outside the property for those who might find the elevated roads difficult. I'd be happy to stay again.

    Very lovely host! He helped us out to get around the area. We had everything we needed a washing machine with a drying option, a good and well equipped kitchen and a clean bathroom. Very comfortable bed and pillows and huge open space. Good parking spaces available be careful not to park in the designated police car spaces.

    Enrique is a good host. His communication is excellent. When you are on holiday it's so much to arrange but Enrique was making things easier for you. I was late check in but he gave a clear instructions and arrange airport taxi for an early morning flight for me. The apartment is clean and funky. I like the idea of using recycled materials. Very reasonable price and near the airport only 3 minutes away. if you arrive late or leaving early. This is an ideal for you. Thank you

    Really big villa, with brilliant views over the valley. More than enough room for just the two of us, and ample if you have a large family. Great price for what you get. Nothing to fault. Excellent and lovely host.
