Funchal or the west coast: where to stay
Should I stay in Funchal or on the west coast of Madeira? Here is our short answer, from Beyond Madeira, a licensed travel agency in Funchal.
Funchal is the capital: the old town, restaurants, the seafront promenade and most of the evening life are close by. The west coast (Calheta, Ponta do Sol and around) is quieter, with more space and sea views, and works best with a car or transfers. We list stays in both.
