Imaculado Coracao de Maria

Perched on verdant slopes above Funchal, Imaculado Coracao de Maria offers a genuine slice of Madeiran life. The white church with its traditional Portuguese architecture serves as both spiritual heart and visual landmark. From here, terraced gardens and residential streets cascade down the hillsides with Atlantic Ocean views.

Small family-run cafés serve traditional Madeiran fare, letting you taste local flavours away from tourist crowds.

"We had a lovely stay at the hotel. Rooms are super nice and modern and very clean. Bed and pillows were super comfy. The breakfast was good. The pool area was an added bonus. It was just a shame the bar was not open for drinks. They did have a phone service but it took time to receive drinks. But overall I would definitely recommend this hotel."

"Reid’s is a beautiful property with multiple pools and diving access to the ocean. Our stay involved changing rooms ( not the hotels fault), and not all rooms are the same. The first room had a walk in shower but the second room had a very slippery tub shower. There was construction going on during our stay that made for noisy afternoons. The food was really good and there are multiple restaurants, however, I would reserve a table in advance of your stay to guarantee your spot at dinner. The service was exceptional."
