Palheiro Village Resort

Great views, polite staff and great facilities

Clean and neat. Brilliant view of Funchal.

Uphill all the way home.

We had everything we needed in our stay. The hotel accommodated us for a late check in. Property is beautiful. Funchal is a lively and friendly place. We hope to be back!

Palheiro Village is a gated vacation home area with stunning views of Funchal Bay. For anyone visiting Madeira, it's critical to rent a car and PV is extremely convenient and accommodating in this regard also.

Instructions on how to access and check-in could be a little clearer perhaps.

We could not have been more pleased with our apartment at Palherio Village. The apartment had everything one might need for a stay in Madeira, with spacious bedrooms, clean and well-lit bathrooms, and a full kitchen, including a dishwasher and washer/dryer. Beds are on the firm-side, something to keep in mind for people who prefer plush-top mattresses. Views from balconies/patios overlook the ocean and/or Funchal depending upon your apartment. The staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful. While not within walking distance of many restaurant options, the apartments are a quick 5-10 minute drive from the waterfront in Funchal. The village complex has several swimming pools available, although we did not take advantage of them during our stay. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, with lots of flowering vegetation (at least during our stay in early-June). Palheiro Village is located a little east of Funchal, and thus accessing most of the island takes some driving. However, the entrance to the local freeway is just a few minutes away, and is likely easier to access than from somewhere in downtown Funchal. I would definitely stay here again should I return to Madeira!

The location - cannot be better.

it could be cleaner.

Lovely property, very spacious with a wonderful view from the balcony. Beautifully appointed with everything we needed. Very comfortable.

We didn't really make use of the facilities. Check in was not clearly explained - directions said to check in at the golf club house but this was not correct and we had to find the village office - would recommend improving the instructions to guests. Clicker for the gate frequently didn't work and had to be changed twice!
