Beautiful hotel and super convenient location. Very clean and comfortable. Staff was all super nice and helpful. Spa is very nice and Suana and Turkish bath are available free of charge to all guests. Rooftop has really nice views of Funchal.

Location is just about perfect, right in the centre of historical Funchal, a few minutes from the cathedral and ten minutes from the cable car up to Monte. Nice, spacious room, even had proper studio kitchen facilities and gear to go with it. Good view from the roof top, and great breakfast offering. Very helpful staff, even provided recommendations on dealing with a flu that was starting to make its presence known. And we were allowed to utilise the spa in the afternoon after checking out on the day of departure.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at castanheiro boutique. The staff were the best, very friendly, welcoming and helpful. This was the best welcoming of our trip from the front reception staff. We enjoyed the rooftop pool and bar. The views were amazing and staff were top notch. We also enjoyed the happy hour and had an amazing dinner in the restaurant. One of our best dinners in Madeira! We greatly enjoyed our stay the staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. We will be recommending the hotel to others and hope to come back and enjoy in the future. Thank you. Obrigato.

We had a truly wonderful 5-night stay at the Castanheiro Boutique Hotel! Every single member of the staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly, and the entire hotel was spotless. The breakfast was lovely with a fantastic variety of choice to start the day. It’s a buffet style but you can also order item cooked fresh. To top it off, the rooftop pool area is simply amazing—easily the best in Funchal! We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would definitely recommend!

The hotel was truly amazing. The location was perfect right in the middle of old town next to restaurants and a 5 min walk from the river front. The patio area was nestled in the middle of the hotel and felt like a breath of fresh air. The service was great they were extremely attentive. I also sprained my ankle and asked for some ice they had someone bring it in mins in a sealed bag so I can ice my ankle truly great hotel

Very spacious room - although I think it was big as it was for someone with limited mobility. Loved the pool on the roof - great views! and all the sunbeds had cushions which was great. A little bit airless in the bathroom, but very grateful for the air conditioning in the room! We didn't eat in the restaurant as we were on a very tight budget (only there due to flight delay) but the menus looked really nice and had we been staying longer and on our terms, we would have. Reception staff very happy and friendly and helpful.
