Funchal Holidays

Accommodation

5* Pestana Casino Park Hotel - bed & breakfast - 7 nights

Location: Funchal

The Pestana Casino Park Hotel is close to the centre of Madeira island's capital city, Funchal. Funchal harbour is architecturally pleasing and has the added attraction of decorative paved streets. Visitors to the island are usually fascinated by the impressive rugged beauty of its peaks in comparison to the lush semi-tropical vegetation around its coastline. The island boasts a strong tradition of craftsmanship and the local markets are abundant with good quality embroideries, tapestries and wickerwork as well as fruit, fish and exotic flowers. Return transfers from Funchal airport to the Pestana Casino Park Hotel are included in the price of this holiday and take approximately 30-45 minutes each way.
