    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating
    • Free Wi-Fi

    This place has won awards for its slick design. Its major players are the glass-fronted à la carte restaurant, the rooftop infinity pool and the ultra-modern rooms.

    The Vine gets its name from Madeira’s long history of winemaking. You won’t be surprised to hear it’s got a wine bar up on the roof, and a reception area coloured with deep reds and yellow-gold tones. There’s even a red wine bath on offer in the spa.

    A stay here will have you straddling the old and new parts of town. There’s a modern shopping complex right under the hotel, plus a busy marina just around the corner. And, for a peek at Funchal’s more traditional bits, a five-minute walk gets you to the old town’s cobbled streets.

    Excellent for a week’s stay

    My wife and I stayed seven nights at The Vine in November 2019 and enjoyed a great stay. The hotel is perfectly placed to explore to city and the island. There is free underground parking for your rental car. Our room was clean and comfortable, if a little dark. Even after seven days of trying, I’m not sure we quite figured out the “high-tech” lighting system. We were on a half-board basis with breakfast and dinner included. Breakfast is in the lobby-level dining area (with a great outside area for nice weather) and dinner is in the fifth floor UVA restaurant. The food and service in both were excellent; really friendly and welcoming. Great “rain” shower and room facilities, including free first fill of the mini-bar. If/when we come back to Madeira, The Vine would be our first choice. We were very happy there and we had a brilliant holiday.
    Design over practicality

    On the positive side - excellent location close to centre, great views from room and roof, comfortable bed, powerful shower, great breakfast, free car park with plenty space, and helpful friendly staff. Not so good - room layout impractical overall, noise from street can be bothersome (but this location is also one of the positives), too many light switches in too many locations - just want switches where you would normally find them, nowhere to hang hand towel close to sink or bath towel when in shower, ‘design’ sink is both ugly and impractical, no kettle in room just nespresso machine, jacuzzi in spa and on the roof both just tepid in temperature.
    Excellent location, but a bit too on-trend

    Funchal's top-notch, larger boutique hotel of the moment. In a really good central location just off the main streets. If anything a bit too avant garde and sterile - off-the-beam futuristic decor in the restaurant/breakfast room (with all the atmosphere of a vacuum), ditto most of the public areas. Also rooms feature that modernist oddity, the open-plan bedroom/bathroom (who really wants to watch their loved ones cleaning their teeth?) and irritating mounted control panels for the lights etc. However, good sized rooms, well appointed; helpful staff; good breakfast which can be taken on a rather nice terrace; clean and well maintained throughout. The roof terrace is very, very good - fab views over the city and bay, infinity pool, bar, restaurant, sun lounger/seating areas, whirlpool. All in all you could do a great deal worse for a Funchal stay.
    Great Stay

    Stayed at the Vine for 3 nights in Novenber and had an amazing time. Staff are great and the hotel was beautiful. Breakfast was very good, lots of options. Pool area is stunning with sea and mountain views. Would definitely recommend and will be returning. Only downside for me was that the design in some cases was more important than functionality. There were very few hooks in the bedrooms to hang towels / dressing gowns etc. No bedside tables. WC door not fully closing / no lock on it. However, none of these things impacted our lovely holiday :)
    Classy hotel in a great location

    Pretty much everything was perfect. The bathrooms are a little odd in terms of privacy but I've stayed somewhere in Asia that had the same, they are very good just a little quirky and you should not be put off. The welcome is friendly. The pool area is amazing. Comfortable, nice pool and huge jacuzzi. The bar is right there by the pool and they have two happy hours. The beds are huge and comfortable with 3 pillows each. Air con and light controls are modern and excellent. The breakfast is very good, loads of choice. Wi-Fi is strong in all areas. You are connected to a nice 3 story shopping mall. Overall this is a great choice for a 5 star hotel if you want to be in the heart of the city and we'll definitely return here. ---- Two things for the hotel to improve on - Plug for the hairdryer is a little too far from the mirror really and the towel rack could be better or put hooks on the wall also.
