Vila Camacho, Funchal Portugal

★

No weather data found for [, ”Portugal”, ”Madeira”, horizontal]

A simple but sizeable budget orientated B&B with the minimum of facilities, in an off centre location. Parking may be difficult in the immediate location for those hiring a car. A calm and relaxed atmosphere prevails but the property best suits those who plan to be out sightseeing and exploring for most of the day.

Exterior

A villa style series of traditional linked buildings which appear rather cluttered and compact from the outside. Steps lead up to many of the units and a small entrance opposite the opening from the street does little to impress. 50% of the rooms have a balcony with many looking onto other areas of the building.

Property type: Hotel

Balcony/Terrace: Some rooms

Storeys: 3

Built Year: 1988

Interior

There is very little in the way of communal areas apart from a tiny reception and bar, a non-descript snack bar and a dull and uninspiring breakfast room.

Rooms: 46

Grounds

A compact rear terrace accommodates a tiny circular pool and an alfresco breakfast area. A few plants and mature trees provide some natural shade and vegetation.

Location

Area Type: In a raised location with a larger mass market establishment 200m further up the curving hill. In a small residential area of typical Portuguese homes, approached along a narrow street. There is very little in the immediate vicinity but buses frequently pass the end of the road for the 1.5km journey into the centre of Funchal.

Nearest beach: 3km (Lido)
