We did not quite know what to expect of Funchal or the hotel are we were very pleased. We wanted relaxation, good access town and good gym facilities. We got that and more. The pound to euro exchange rate made the restaurant meal at Uva expensive but the wine in the hotel was reasonable and in a very trendy, stylish... more

me and my partner stayed at the vine in september, looking to relax in a nice place - and thats exactly what we got, and more. The hotel itself is situated perfectly in the centre of town within a great shopping mall which has a supermarket in (very handy). The service was excellent, not too in your face but they're... more

What a fantastic hotel.....! After searching for ages trying to find a relaxing hotel to chill out in and get some winter sun, I came across Hotel The Vine as it has been previously mentioned in the Conde Naste Traveller Magazine's Hop Picks List. Admittedly, Madeira as a destination was in my opinion usually aimed at the older generation and... more

If you only ever stay at one 5* boutique hotel, I urge you to make it The Vine, in the very centre of Funchal. Words can hardly describe just how superb it is. And even the official photos on their website do not prepare you for the jaw-droppingly beautiful ultra modern design, the sumptuous bedrooms, the spectacular roof-top terrace, and... more

Our expectations where high after reading the other reviews on tripadvisor. And were our expectations reached? No, they were not, they were even succeeded. Even if I think really hard, I still can not find anything to complain about. The modern design was dark, but this helped to feel very relaxed. It was a contrast to the bright sunlight outside.... more

We like modern hotels and found this hotel in Madiera Island. We wanted to experience the nature but we definitely choose the wrong hotel. Our arrival was quite weird the hotel is in a shopping centre and we have to enter the mall to get in. The room was nice but not the view. We never thought we would feel... more

If there is something I really enjoyed during my stay in Madeira is definitely the “The Vine” hotel. The rooms are spacious, modern, and fully equipped with amenities: a big bath tub, a large walk-in shower with traditional shower and waterfall. Simply fantastic. The colors of the room are dark and it helps relaxing your eyes from the sun shining... more

Having not been abroad for the whole of 2008, I was looking for something pretty special for my first holiday in 2009. After choosing that Madiera as the perfect place for a little but of winter sun and exploring, the next challenge was finding a hotel, and what a hotel it turned out to be. There is always a risk... more

As the previous reviewer has said take the address as the taxi drivers do not know where it is, one comedy moment was getting in a Taxi outside the hotel and the driver asking us what hotel we were staying in "that one we said" what in the shopping centre was his bemused answer. That aside and it really isn't... more
