- NORA MARIA (7/5): -
- Jacki (10/5): Friendly and peaceful accommodation near the city centre - Excellent location. Amazing property that was quiet and peaceful, yet only a short walk from the cable car and city centre. Great room and balcony with sun loungers. Great breakfast. V helpful and friendly staff. We would like to have stayed longer!! 😁
- Helga (9/5): Beautiful house and great hosts - Old style but still comfortable. Low pressure on the hot water
- Dennis (10/5): -
- P. Reto (9/5): Perfect location with very personal and engaged staff - Sara was very kind and well organised. She prepared for us a map like a tour guide. Well done :-)
Monica served breakfast and was very helpful for any suggestions.
- Sylvie (10/5): - Séjour parfait et accueil du personnel exceptionnel
- Elizabeth (9/5): - Great location in the old town
- Barbora (10/5): -
- Emma (8/5): Fabulous location with attentive hosts - Fabulous location in old town Sofa bed was uncomfortable but hosts were attentive and added a mattress topper which solved the problem.
- Ann (10/5): - The staff was so amazing and helped out with anything at all I needed regarding the hotel and all of the activities in the area. A special thanks to Patricio and Sara who assisted me prior to arrival as well as the ok site assistant Monica. The staff made this stay so special for me.
- Lori (10/5): Charming Guest House - We loved this old style guest house with large comfortable rooms, friendly and helpful staff, and an excellent location by the water at the edge of the old town. Parking is convenient. Would absolutely stay again.
- Kévin (9/5): -
- PAULINE (10/5): - L'ambiance de la maison avec le petit jardin et la salle à manger, l'accueil de l'équipe en place, la vue, l'emplacement parfait, la grande chambre spacieuse
- Agnes (9/5): Nagyon szuper volt! Köszönjük! - Csodálatos környék, az óváros szélén, fantasztikus üzemeltetők, kedvesek, szuper reggeli. A kert is nagyon hangulatos. Nagyon kedves volt mindenki, tényleg mindenben segítettek, és fontos volt, hogy jól érezzük magunkat. A wc felől egy kis csatornaszag volt, felteszem a régi csövek miatt. Ez néha zavaró tudott lenni, de maximum ennyit tudok kritizálni :)
- Julia (8/5): -
- Isabella (10/5): It was a very pleasing stay. The staff are wonderful. Breakfast is delicious. The location es great. - Breakfast, room, location, hospitality, cleanliness, kindness of staff, flexible
- Ethel (10/5): -
- Luise (9/5): Gemütlich und familiär! - Tolle Lage, um die Stadt zu erkunden. Gegenüber ist ein süßes Strandbad, in der Bar nebenan kann ma gut einen Snack zwischendurch einnehmen. Die Unterkunft ist liebevoll eingerichtet und sehr gemütlich. Das Personal ist wirklich super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Beim gemeinsamen Frühstück mit den anderen Gästen sitzt man gemeinsam am Tisch und kommt schnell ins Gespräch. Das hat etwas sehr familiäres! Die Ausstattung ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Die Bar nebenan ist am Wochenende schon sehr laut, aber nur am Wochenende und nicht bis tief in die Nacht, deshalb fand ich es erträglich. Außerdem ist man diesbezüglich sehr transparent. Die restlichen Nächte waren wunderbar ruhig, man hört beim Schlafen das Meeresrauschen.
- Terrence (9/5): - Wonderful view of ocean, friendly,helpful staff, good location.
- Klaus (10/5): Tolles Guesthouse in der Altstadt,supernette Gastgeber! - Zentrale Lage,große,saubere Zimmer mit Kühlschrank und Wasserkocher,geräumiges Badezimmer,Super Frühstück und supernette Gastgeber,immer hilfsbereit und mit guten Tips für die Umgebung.Danke Sara,Patricio und Monica für unvergesslich schöne Tage in Funchal.Wir kommen gerne wieder ! Gar nichts
- yust me (10/5): - Herzliche Gastgeber, gutes Frühstück und top Lage. Alles Ok
- Pat & Terry (10/5): A very comfortable, enjoyable stay with exceptionally nice and helpful staff. - The room was spacious, well lit and comfortable with armchairs. A door led to a large terrace overlooking the guesthouse garden, and with cushioned loungers. The Air.Con. could be used to warm the room at cooler times of the day.
Breakfast was good with a buffet inc. fresh fruit and rolls and eggs were cooked to order, and eaten at a large shared table. Two flights of stairs from the street to our room, tho’ the breakfast room was on the 1st floor and the staff were very helpful with baggage. The g/house was in a nice position next to a church in the old town, but it was a steady uphill walk from
the main sea level part of the town. Relevant as we are in our 80s.
- Jason (9/5): Fantastic - Ideally located and wonderfully friendly and accommodating hosts. The breakfast was fantastic too. Highly recommend. It can get noisy outside during the evenings on Friday and the weekend - bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper.
- XIAOFENG (10/5): -
- jean-marc (9/5): - Vitorina Corte Guesthouse have been beyond my expectation. Sara, Patrice were very welcoming and so helpful. Sara really told us everything about the lovely Island that is madeira. Thank you for everything and see you soon 😊 Nothing
- Shahrukh (9/5): - I chose this place mainly for the ocean view from my room, and it was exactly how I imagined it. The location is very central and close to the famous street, bars, and attractions. The room was perfect for one person.
Breakfast was optional, so I only had it on a few days since I had early morning hikes planned. But I really appreciated how caring the staff were and how they prepared fresh breakfast for you. They even accommodated special requests like adding almond milk for me.
It was a lovely stay, and I hope to visit again soon.
- Alexandre (10/5): -
- Daňková (10/5): Wonderful place with very friendly staff - Wonderful staff, local breakfast according to your taste
- Tetiana (9/5): -
- Janet (10/5): Fantastic place - would definitely stay again! - A lovely, really friendly guest house. Like staying with family. Great communication. Nothing too much trouble. And the breakfast was amazing. A small problem with the shower, but is being fixed. Everything else perfect.
- Detlef (10/5): - Sehr nette, familiäre Atmosphäre! Leckeres Frühstück!
- Gino (9/5): -
- Leo (9/5): -
- Henrietta (10/5): Kiváló ár-érték arányú szállás, autentikus környezet, a tengerparthoz közel. - A szállás az óvárosban található, kiváló helyen, pár lépésre a tengerpartól, az éttermektől és a közlekedési csomóponttól. A reggeli opcionálisan kérhető, az ételek háziasak, a reggelizési lehetőség az étkezőben elérhető, egy nagy közös asztalnál, mint ha csak egy családi reggelin vennél részt.
Az épület autentikus, gyönyörű kerttel, a személyezet és a tulajdonos nagyon kedves, a hozzáállásuk példaéetékű.
- Anzhela (10/5): -
- Claus (8/5): - Cosy and family-alike Guesthouse, very friendly staff, great location
- Elizabeth (10/5): The guesthouse was in a perfect location and served as an excellent base for hikes & sites. - Sara and Patricio were excellent at both giving helpful advice regarding seeing the different areas in Funchal and offering suggestions. The breakfast was not only an excellent option but was also an opportunity to talk to the different guests about their activities. As a solo traveler there is nothing I did not like.
- Miklaszewicz (10/5): klimatyczny obiekt z pięknym widokiem - Bardzo przyjemny obiekt. Personel jest przesympatyczny i profesjonalny. Widok z okien to 11/10. Ocean, port i boczny widok na Funchal - super w dzień i wieczorem. Polecamy wyższe piętra.
Pokój był bardzo czysty. Budynek jest stary, klimatyczny, skrzypiące schody, stare zdjęcia na ścianach - bardzo fajny klimat.
Lokalizacja jest świetna, wszędzie blisko.
Zapewniony jest wygodny, blisko położony parking - 8 euro/doba.
Można wykupić dodatkowo śniadanie - cena jeśli dobrze pamiętam to 10 euro.
Można korzystać z kuchni (oprócz pory kiedy serwują śniadanie).
Przy budynku jest prywatny ogród. wszystko było ok.
można by dodać pralkę i suszarką bębnową :)
- Christopher (9/5): - Location is excellent Nothing.
- mike (10/5): - Second time staying at victorina corte guest bang in the middle of the city a few minutes walk to all attractions, and the staff are so friendly and helpful.
- Ulrike (9/5): - Schönes Haus mit nicht viel Komfort aber umso mehr Charme, besonders nette hosts, ein perfekter Blick über rote Ziegeldächer auf den Ozean, prima Lage.
Es wurde versucht, für uns Veganerinnen auch etwas zum Frühstück zu zaubern - einfach sehr sehr nett.
Danke Es kann an manchen Abenden etwas lauter sein, das ist erwartbar bei dieser Lage - der Ausblick macht das aber wieder wett.
Der Kühlschrank im Zimmer ist relativ laut...
- Jelle (9/5): Prachtige plek met hele fijne mensen. - Het personeel was heel behulpzaam en altijd vrolijk. Ontbijt was gewoon goed, er ontbrak niks maar ook geen overdaad. Kamers waren ruim en netjes, er ontbrak niks aan dekens en handdoeken. En natuurlijk de locatie, die was voortreffelijk. Niks, ik heb gewoon een hele fijne tijd gehad hier.
- Dianah (10/5): - Love the location, neighbourhood,staff and the unique traditional decor of the place. Nothing it was perfect!
- Isabel (10/5): Highly recommend, well located and charming house. - Sara and Patricio are exceptionally friendly, forthcoming and kind managers whose presence significantly impacted the positive experience of staying here. The house itself was beautiful, charming and with a stunning view. The location was also excellent: within a charming area of the city, and with everything in walking distance. The room was clean and well taken care of and, since it was the “tower” room, I enjoyed a view both towards the mountains as well as towards the sea, with lovely sunsets.
- McLay (10/5): Absolutely perfect - wonderful staff and an authentic, comfortable and cosy guesthouse. - We had a two location holiday in Madeira. The first week or so were in a major chain hotel on the East of the beautiful Island - all inclusive etc. But, at short notice, switched to have 3 nights at the Vitorina Corte Guesthouse in Funchal for the New Year period. It was absolutely wonderful. The support, advice and help from Sara and Patricio (managers) from start to finish was absolutely first rate and enormously helpful. Thank you very much to both of you and the other staff (Monica?). We were fortunate enough to pick up late availability for the room right at the top of the guesthouse. The room was very comfortable, spacious, squeaky clean and has the most incredible panoramic views across Funchal bay/harbour and views out of a rear window to the hills. Funchal's New Year firework display is second to none. This room gave us our private viewing point - which I don't think could rivalled! Absolutely amazing. The Guesthouse is perfectly located and within easy walking access to the old town and everything else Funchal has to offer. It also has easy parking very nearby (about EUR 8/day). We had breakfast in the Guesthouse each morning, which was really excellent - fresh breads, fruit and a range of other options. Breakfast is generally taken communally - large table in a traditional dining room - where it was lovely to meet other guests. The guest house is simple in its concept and offers a fantastic alternative to rather bland hotel chains. I don't think the concept could work as well as it does without having friendly, helpful, engaging and hardworking staff. That is what makes the difference - well done Sara and Patricio. Really appreciated. Vitorina Guesthouse is authentic and unpretentious. It offers a more intimate and cosy environment when compared to a soulless corporate hotel with multiple (100s) rooms. While absolutely sparklingly clean and tidy, it could do with some new investment on the some of the furniture in the room we stayed in. Also, the view from this particular room is amazing and its best feature - yet the windows panes are opaque so have to be fully opened to see out. In my view, I'd replace the windows with a better option to make the very best of the views.
- Yolanthe (9/5): -
- Dennis (10/5): - Zeer vriendelijk ontvangst en zeer goede en meedenkende service gedurende heel ons verbljf
- Dorothy (10/5): - Great location close to cable car/old town so loads of opportunities to eat out and explore.
House retained original features where practicable with each room being very individual as reflected in the price.
Guest house team of Patrick, Sara and Monica all spoke excellent English and resolved any issues promptly. Plus nice to speak with as I’m a solo traveler Church bell hourly from 8am as it’s next door so no chance to sleep in but others have already mentioned that reality
- Yana (8/5): -
- Bettina (10/5): Amazing central ocean accomodation in Funchal - The location is great. You get out of the house and you have the ocean in front of you. Also there is a short walk until the city center. The bar near, you NEED to go. The breakfast was amazing, BUT the people working there make this accommodation so magical. I felt like home. Everyone is so friendly and willing to help you with anything. The garden is very pretty. I had the room with shared bathroom. You are sharing with a triple bedroom( so other 3 more people), but we never crossed paths. It was clean. I recommend this 10000% if you choose to stay in Funchal!!!
- Hans-Jörg (10/5): -
- Jeanethe (10/5): -
- Stephane (9/5): - Vitorina guesthouse is a place full of local character, situated on the edge of the historical centre of Funchal and right next to a café with a terrace and a view on the sea.
Sara, Patricio and Monica were all three personally invested in the quality of my stay.
This was very unlike any soulless hotel, and gave me a flavour of the local lifestyle and what it felt like living there.
- Steve (10/5): Perfect location - This is a great location. Easy parking just around the corner. The staff was amazing!! Lots of things to walk to including the tram! Everything was great!
- Pauline (10/5): Absolutely fabulous. - The staff were wonderful. We met and had breakfast with the owners who were delightful and told us the history of the property. Sara and Patricio were probably the best hosts we have ever come across. The property was full of history and interest. Great location in Funchal, but away from the chaos of it. Highly recommended. Nothing to dislike
- Tua (10/5): Mysigt pensionat med toppenpersonal - Ett litet familjärt pensionat i en äldre traditionell byggnad där man som gäst blir behandlad med vänlighet och omtanke utöver det vanliga. Läget är perfekt, nära allt, restauranger, linbana, bussar etc men ändå avskilt och privat. Utmärkt frukost finns men kostar extra (dock prisvärd). Vårt rum hade en stor terrass med utsikt mot Monte och över trädgården. Rekommenderar boendet för dem som föredrar det småskaliga och personliga framför stora glaspalats. Möbleringen i rummet där vi saknade ett bord att sitta vid när det regnade och vi inte kunde använda terrassen.
- Hartmut (1/5): - ...sehr kleines Zimmer (3m x 4m) mit einem 14oerBett Mahagoni gebeizt, einem passenden Nachttisch und einem Korpus eines Hochschranks zum Einstellen eines 60l Kühlschranks für zwei Männer. Ferner eine sonst nicht nutzbare Nische mit zwei eingestellten rollbaren Kleiderstangen
- Amelie (9/5): personnel au petit soin, localisation parfaite - le personnel extrêmement sympathique
la localisation parfaite
très belle maison la salle de bain partagée avec des clients peu propres
la discothèque pas loin (pas mal de bruit le samdei soir)
- Tibor (9/5): -
- Nathalie (5/5): - Le personnel très attentionné et présent Au moment de la réservation les prestations ne sont pas expliquées clairement : Ex: la salle de bain dans la chambre de 3 personnes était à partager avec d'autres hôtes, on ne l'apprend qu'à l'arrivée (très moyen comme procédé)
Le prix du petit déjeuner à 9 € est bien trop cher pour la quantité et la qualité des produits proposés.
La maison en général est ancienne et ne convient pas à une personne à mobilité réduite et cela n'est pas annoncé.
Bref sur le papier c'est alléchant mais en réalité, c'est assez décevant.
- Ingjerd (9/5): Perfekt ! - Veldig fin beliggenhet med nærhet til alt. Trygt og stille og veldig hyggelige personale som var til hjelp med en gang om det trengtes. Nydelig utsikt fra mitt loftsrom mot havet. Kommer gjerne igjen Ikke noe
- Lia Mª (7/5): Pasable - El entorno maravilloso.
Las habitaciones eran amplias y luminosas.
El personal te daba buena información para visitar la isla. Había escaleras y no aparecía esa información en la web, íbamos con un persona con dificultades de movilidad y no lo llevó muy bien. El baño compartido estaba muy viejo, mientras que lo de las habitaciones estaban reformados.
- Thompson (10/5): I would like to come back again. - The staff are exceptionally friendly and gave information for many trips. It is old tradition house with charming decorations. Also the garden is beautiful and comfortable to sitting outside.
- Michael (10/5): - Very comfy. Nice room. Garden with bananas in back.
I'm
- Pim (10/5): -
- MagdalenR (9/5): Polecam jako super miejsce wypadowe do aktywnego poznawania wyspy. - Fantastyczna atmosfera, wspólne, niemalże rodzinne śniadania przy jednym stole dla wszystkich gości. Gospodarze niezwykle mili. Pomoc znacznie wykraczająca po za zwykłe ramy. Dom położony w historycznej części Madery, tuż obok kąpieliska, blisko do dworca autobusowego, kolejki. Akustyka obiektu może stanowić problem.
- Valerie29 (8/5): - Emplacement parfait à proximité de la mer idéal pour les bains de mer
Accueil super agréable Un peu bruyant car il y a un bar à côté et le chambre que nous occupions était sur la rue
- dorian (9/5): -
- Ava (10/5): The best trip ever - Clean, kind staff! Great location! Nothing
- Antony (8/5): -
- Terry (7/5): A mixed experience in a slightly neglected building. - The location is great, at the centre of the old town and close to the sea. It's in a lovely old house with a garden. It is a few minutes walk from the Cable Car where the tour company buses and the hop on hop off buses stop. It is also very close to the marina. There are many restaurants, bars and cafes nearby. The area is very safe even late at night.
My room had a balcony with a partial sea view. It is close to a built Lido which is accessed by lift and has sunbeds for rent. Caution: the current is very strong here.
It was quiet apart from Friday and Saturday night when a nearby bar has a loud DJ or live band.
The room size was adequate and the ensuite was roomy and towels were soft and thick. The mattress and pillows were comfortable but the bed linen, especially the coverlet and extra blankets could have been fresher.
Free toiletries were handy.
There is no daily housekeeping so one must ask for fresh towels, toilet paper and empty of bins must be requested which are provided straight away.
The staff were friendly and helpful. The room looks different in the photos. The floor covering is vinyl or linoleum, not wood.The door of my room was difficult to close and sometimes popped open. The coverlet on the bed and the extra blankets smelled dirty. The pillows smelled bad. Towels and bedsheets could have smelled fresher.
Breakfast, with an extra cost of €10 was a bit hit and miss and not good value. It was a light continental with some sugary cereal, cheap sliced cheese and ham and sliced tomato with cream cheese. Some cake also. There was bread too but if one isn't down to eat at exactly 8.30, the start of breakfast, the choice of bread and pastries is extremely limited. The staff will cook eggs on request but I can't eat eggs. I couldn't recommend the breakfast. It is eaten at a big communal table with all the guests so one must be prepared to converse first thing in the morning.
Asking for housekeeping was embarrassing for me.
The loud noise of music from the nearby cafe bar until the early hours of the morning on Friday and Saturday was an issue for me. It's not the fault of the guesthouse and it's quiet during the week.
I was not informed that the balcony was unsafe one day because of repairs being done in the room above mine. A large piece of wood and some debris narrowly missed my head. It wasn't properly cleaned up afterwards and dust remained on the outdoor chair and underfoot.
I felt the room and the ensuite needed a deep clean. My impression was of a neglected service.

- Elizabeth (8/5): Fantastic stay, lovely hosts and excellent central location. Loved it! - My stay at Victorian was absolutely fantastic. The staff were so welcoming and accommodated to my needs effortlessly. It really is a gem of a place to stay in a fantastic location. The breakfast was a treat as well, and I loved hearing about the history of the place and area of the city. I can’t wait to return very soon! 🌟 Not much to fault really. It’s not your usual hotel experience (it’s not overly fancy) but it makes up for itself in overall vibe and friendly people.
- Laura (10/5): Meilleur emplacement de Funchal en Front de mer ! - Établissement qui présente un cadre et un emplacement PARFAIT !
Vous trouverez un charmant et très joli petit jardin à l’arrière avec un magnifique bananier.
Le personnel est aux petits soins, nous remercions Grâce et Sara pour leur gentillesse et disponibilité.
- Sarah (8/5): - Die Lage ist traumhaft! Zum Badestrand sowie einer sehr guten Bar, muss man nur über die Straße gehen.
Auch das gesamte Personal ist wirklich herzlich, vor allem die Betreiberin selbst!
Das Glockenspiel der Kirche ist auch wunderschön und weckt nur Langschläfer - es beginnt gegen 10 Uhr morgens und nur am Wochenende. Das Gebäude ist zwar renoviert und sehr schön hergerichtet, dennoch riecht es sehr nach "altem Haus" - vielleicht auch wegen der vielen antiken Möbeln. Leider haftete der Geruch auch an den Handtüchern.
- Zette (8/5): maison ancienne charmante et bien située - l'accueil très sympathique aussi bien par la propriétaire que par le personnel, le matin. L'ambiance de la maison à la fois pension de famille et équipement moderne. Un petit déjeuner pris en commun autour d'une grande table avec du salé et du sucré, gâteau ou cake maison. L'emplacement idéal pour visiter le vieux Funchal, prendre le téléphérique et même se baigner tout à côté. Pouvoir garer la voiture dans un parking proche grâce à une carte prêtée par la propriétaire. Etant donné que nous partagions une salle de bains, il serait souhaitable que les WC soient séparés de cette salle de bains.
- Maria (9/5): Cozy old fashioned hotel in excellent location - Location Wifi was very weak
- Nick (10/5): - Bijzonder vriendelijk en gastvrije hosts. De locatie is top.
- Lisa (8/5): - It was an excellent location. The room was simple and nice, and you could use the kitchen downstairs. There was live music outside at night, which made it hard to sleep. The room only had a shared bathroom.
- Martina.DC (9/5): Ottima esperienza - Posizione, staff, pulizia, spazio Mancanza di ascensore/montacarichi e zanzariere
- MONIKA (10/5): - Everything was perfect. The room was spacious and very clean. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. The owner of the house named Grace is a lovely lady, very warm, kind and helpful. She creates in this property a really wonderful atmosphere. Her homemade cakes were just fabulous. If you want to feel the real atmosphere of this beautiful island you should book a room there.
I have already booked my next stay there :)
Special greetings for very nice ladies: Sara and Monica ;)
See you next year in May ;)

- Trevisan (4/5): Non ci siamo - La posizione Camera maleodorante. Lenzuola non pulite ed usurate, asciugamani vecchi e con un pessimo odore. È stato richiesto dopo 3 giorni di avere una pulizia della camera e la pulizia, dichiarata fatta, in realtà non era stato nemmeno pulito il pavimento.

- Rion (10/5): Beautiful, comfortable, centrally located accommodation and a friendly welcome - Lovely building to stay in, super comfortable, clean, and spacious. Modern ensuite bathroom in the room I stayed in. Good AC and a mini fridge in the room for water and cold drinks.
Monica could not have been nicer, such a friendly and welcoming energy!
2 minute walk to a swimming spot, viewpoint, and bar. Less than 5 min walk to the major touristic area. About a 7 min walk to the lower cable car station to Monte. About 10 min walk to a big supermarket, and major bus routes.
