Just a short walk from Funchal’s historic center, Residencial do Vale is a family-friendly guesthouse near Igreja do Colegio, the Embroidery Museum and Se Cathedral. CR7 Museum and Funchal Marina sit about a 10-minute drive away, while the Madeira Botanical Garden and the Lido complex are a few miles from the door.

This small guesthouse has 26 rooms and a laid-back, no-frills vibe with a sunny terrace and garden. Rooms come with private showers, complimentary toiletries and hair dryers, cable TV, coffee/tea makers, safes and some separate sitting areas—housekeeping is provided daily.

Relax on the sun terrace or in the lounge, grab a bite at the on-site coffee shop and snack deli, or unwind with a drink at the bar/lounge. Family-friendly extras include playrooms for kids; free parking is available for guests. Tour assistance and an airport shuttle (for a surcharge) are offered.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property and a 24-hour front desk with express check-in, luggage storage and dry-cleaning/laundry services make stays convenient for travelers.

A coffee shop on site serves continental breakfast daily (8:00–10:00 AM, fee applies), plus there's a snack bar/deli and an evening bar/lounge. For regional dining, several Mediterranean restaurants are an easy stroll away.
