The breakfast selection was gorgeous and very tasty with warm fresh bread everyday. The most important was the stuff - kind and obliging people. The hotel was in a central location close to bus stop. Besides, we were just off roadworks which was accessed by using another one way street against the direction of flow, reasonably priced main restaurant for both lunch and close to the centre of Funchal whilst directly on the sea.
