A stay at the Castanheiro Boutique Hotel is a journey through three centuries of Funchal. Five historically classified buildings, dating from the 18th, 19th and 20th century, have been linked together to create this 4-star city centre hotel. Within the hotel, exposed stone arches and wooden rafters along with antiques and period pieces preserve the sense of heritage in the public areas, whilst the bedrooms are stylishly designed in bold, contemporary tones.
The hotel has a rooftop lap pool and terrace from which guests can enjoy a panoramic view over the city of Funchal. Visit the ‘Til’ spa to indulge in deep-tissue massages, body wraps or aromatherapy, and enjoy Mediterranean cuisine served at Tipografia, which is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Located in the historic centre of Funchal, next door to the Palace of the Jesuits, the hotel is perfectly placed to visit the city’s most interesting museums and churches and allows for exploration of the shops and restaurants in Madeira’s pretty capital.
