This is a beautiful hotel situated right at the end of the main promanade in Funchal.

This is a beautiful hotel situated right at the end of the main promanade in Funchal. The views across the ocean, and into the city are perfect, with the sun setting over golden cliffs to the west in the evening towards the harbour.
