    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating
    • Free Wi-Fi

    The Castanheiro Boutique Hotel is housed in an 18th-century building in the heart of historic Funchal.

    Five listed buildings were joined together to create the Castanheiro Boutique Hotel. With warm orange facades, exposed brick walls and wooden shutters, it blends perfectly into its town centre location.

    The property is surrounded by shops, museums, restaurants and bars, making it an ideal base for exploring Funchal. Up on the rooftop terrace, there are great views across the harbour.

    While you're away, you can speak to us anytime - we're available 24/7 via the TUI App, phone, SMS and email. The easy-to-use TUI App is also packed with info and tips. It sends you important updates, like your airport transfer times, too.

    Wonderful hotel, superb location and a friendly, welcoming team - highly recommended

    Last minute trip to Madeira when Portugal lost its air-bridge two days before we were due to travel. Highly recommend this delightful small hotel: friendly team, great food, lovely pool terrace/rooftop bar. It's superbly located off a main square in downtown Funchal, 5 min walk to the cathedral and two more mins to the lively sea-front, with bars, cafés and ice-cream stands. Wonderful views from the roof/pool terrace over the rooftops and surrounding hills, and out to sea. With the exception of one grumpy barman on our first night, we found the hotel team really welcoming and helpful. With current measures intended to minimise the spread of the virus they have really thought about it all and made things like breakfast work really well, with no impact on quality - or quantity! Happy Hour by the pool, Monday - Thursday. Very helpful front desk , assisting with restaurant bookings, organising trips, car hire, taxis etc. They were also super-helpful organising a further single room at very short notice: price charged was extremely fair where many hotels would have really stung you. We were delighted with our choice: would recommend without hesitation, and definitely return on a future visit. Madeira itself is an absolute delight - a fascinating island - as tempting as it is to lie by the pool there is so much to explore which I'm glad we did. Two days car hire was enough to get a flavour of the place but there is tons more we didn't have time for.
    Fantastic hotel

    The hotel is located in the historic quarter of Funchal so easy to walk to all the sights and restaurants. The staff were all friendly and attentive. The food at the restaurant was great quality. I would strongly recommend a stay at this hotel.
    Lovely hotel and staff

    We had a lovely stay at Castanheiro hotel from being greeted at the reception by Luisa to the service from the restaurant staff and all the other staff. We had to stay in our junior suite the first night until we got our results from our covid test at the airport.. The hotel arranged room service for us as we had booked half board, the food was very good ..All the hotel was taking all care to keep us safe with asking us to wear masks and clean our hands at the restaurant and other places round the hotel.. Thank you to Monica and Bruno for the great service while we were using the court yard restaurant for breakfast and dinner the food was great..The pool area was good if abit small if the hotel was full .Special thank you to Luisa for her friendly chatter and helpful advise and for sorting out moving us after a problem with our room, we stayed the end of our week in a suite which was lovely. This hotel is in a very good area for the center of Funchal but quite. Would love to stay again in the future. We have stayed in lots of areas in and around Funchal in the years we have been going to Madeira.. This was a strange holiday with lots of big hotels closed and some areas very quite and also lots of small cafes and coffee shops closed, but we did feel safe and everyone is so friendly ..
    Always perfect!

    Visited Castanheiro several times now and it is the perfect choice. The rooms are immaculate, the roof terrace is stunning and the location is very convenient for all the sights of Funchal. Stayed half board and the food is some of the best I have ever tasted. Had a 5 course dinner (which came with unlimited wine) on this visit which was truly exceptional. The staff are really friendly and helpful and gave us a free late check out for our evening flight. Thanks to all the staff for a great trip. We will be back... Overall, this hotel would be very hard to beat.
    Fantastic hotel with brilliant service

    We have stayed a number of times at this hotel when on holiday in sunny Madeira. It’s outstanding. Brilliant staff with welcoming service and an impressive standard of facilities from a bar and courtyard with live music to a lovely spa, outdoor breakfast courtyard, restaurant and roof terrace bar with infinity pool and fantastic views of Funchal. The rooms are spacious and stylish. Cannot recommend the hotel highly enough. It’s a hidden gem with wonderful service.
