City Highlights
Named after the Portuguese word for fennel (funcho) - the wild, yellow herb that cloaked the landscape when colonists first arrived five-hundred years ago - Funchal is a charming old town. Discover its twisting backwaters and fascinating museums; its atmospheric bars and restaurants selling local delights and sweet Madeira wine. There are hip and trendy spots, too, with spinning DJs and bartenders serving up top tunes and cocktails. Something not-to-miss is Funchal's market, housed in a huge Art Deco building. Feast your eyes on Funchal's architecture, then admire the masses of tropical flowers, piles of gleaming fish, colourful ceramics and ladies in traditional dress.
Romance
Quinta da Casa Branca is small, secluded and special; an award-winning boutique hotel very different from the tower-style properties on the coast. One of the pools is exclusively for adults, the dining is à la carte, there's a zen-like spa and a gorgeous choice of rooms. Best of all are the gardens, a botanical oasis overflowing with exotic trees and an explosion of colourful plants. Species like Giant Indian Rubber Trees, African Tulip Trees, Norfolk Pines, Pink Snowball, Caracas Big-Leaf, Mexican Breadfruit, Bamboo, Wisteria, Bougainvillaea and iconic Birds of Paradise, Madeira's national emblem. It's a setting that promises to spark romance.
Spa Breaks
The Phytocéane Spa at Quinta da Casa Branca was inspired by the tranquil surroundings of the property and, along with treatments, guests can enjoy the Jacuzzi, sauna, steam bath and relaxation room, or work out at the gym with a top of the range selection Technogym machines and equipment. There is also a tennis club nearby, a five minute drive away, which guests may use for a fee.
