Madeira's capital, Funchal, is a beautiful and varied destination, giving you a little bit of everything that Madeira has to offer. With its combination of new hotels and classic old world charm; its varied shops and its elegant architecture, it's the sort of place you can explore for weeks without ever tiring of it.
The Dorisol Mimosa Hotel offers a great alternative to the usual hotel accommodation. Instead of hotel rooms, you'll enjoy superb apartments, each with a wonderful array of amenities. In fact, when you stay at the Dorisol Mimosa Hotel you also get access to all the extra amenities provided by its sister hotel, the Dorisol Estrelicia.
Traditional hotel rooms – no matter how wonderful they might be – can feel a little bit samey. That's one of the joys of the Dorisol Mimosa Hotel. Each of its wonderfully appointed studios gives you a real home away from home feeling. With its own kitchenette and en suite bathroom, you'll be able to enjoy all the comforts of hotel standard amenities as well as all the convenience of doing things your way.
Comfort is everything on a holiday to Madeira. And that's another big advantage of the Dorisol Mimosa Hotel. Instead of breakfast at the hotel restaurant, why not dine al fresco? Each apartment features a balcony – and it's a wonderful spot for luxuriating and really making the most of the lazier holiday lifestyle.
With its own impressive facilities (as well as those of the Dorisol Estrelicia) you'll have absolutely everything you'd expect of the very best Funchal resort, including an excellent outdoor pool (and children's pool) – and the seaside Lido with its large saltwater pool is close at hand.
You'll have lots more top notch leisure facilities on hand too – an indoor pool, sauna and Jacuzzi, as well as tennis and games. There's even a regular programme of entertainment for you to enjoy.
Staying at the Dorisol Mimosa Hotel lets you do things your way. Each comfortable apartment is a holiday haven – and a perfect base for exploring Funchal and Madeira. With so many wonderful facilities at your disposal, you'll have no excuse not to relax.

Funchal Holidays
Situated on the southeast coast of Madeira, the beautiful town of Funchal is the region’s capital and the first place settled on the island. It’s also the largest and most popular holiday resort!
Funchal is split into three distinct areas: to the east visitors will find the Old Town, around the harbor you’ll find the buzzing central commercial area, and to the west, you’ll find the Lido, where the majority of popular hotels are located.
When to go:
Funchal in particular and Madeira in general are hugely popular for travelers and tourists because the region enjoys what many consider to be a ‘perfect’ climate all year round.
If you’re looking for the best time to go, though, we recommend June-September when you’ll experience highs in the mid-20’s and virtually zero rainfall.
Want to avoid the summer crowds? Head to Funchal in May, October or November where you’ll still enjoy nice, warm days, but with fewer people around. While rainfall is more likely, the region doesn’t get more than seven days of rain maximum per month throughout the year.
Top Attractions:
Whether you prefer lounging on the beach or sight-seeing, there’s plenty to do in Funchal.
The Funchal Lido is one of the most notable attractions featuring a large solarium, two salt water pools and access to the sea. You’ll also find dozens of hotels and resteraunts nearby.
If you’re keen to get out and explore, check out the Madeira Botanical Garden, just south of the harbor. There, you’ll find hillside gardens, stunning sea views and a bird park.
For a taste of local life, head to the Funchal Farmers’ Market. This famous market selling local fruits, vegetables, flowers, and fish was opened back in 1940 and visitors are welcome every day but Sunday.
Beaches:
There are a number of beaches in Funchal. Formosa Beach is the only public beach that runs along the promenade and has historical importance dating back to 1508.
Gorgulho Beach is a typical pebble beach off the Lido Promenade that has a bay perfect for relaxing. Finally, Sao Tiago Beach is popular among locals and is also known as ‘Fisherman’s Beach’. Like the others, it’s a pebble beach with free public access.
Dining:
As the islands most popular resort, you’ll find restaurants of all kinds, from trendy tapas restaurants to hidden gems serving local fare. If you want to play it safe or are looking for home comforts, you’ll find plenty of options, too.
Entertainment:
While you can, of course, spend your holiday relaxing, if you’re in the mood for a drink or some live music, Funchal is the place to be.
Downtown you’ll find more modern discos and clubs, in the Old Town you’ll find more quiet cafes and bars, and near the marina you’ll find handcrafted cocktails.
Culture:
Because the town of Funchal dates back several hundred years, there is a wealth of history and culture to explore while you’re on holiday.
In particular, look out for the beautiful Episcopal Se Cathedral and Church of Our Lady of Monte.
Adventure and Sports:
For those looking for recreational activities, walking the levada footpaths is must. You can hike these man-made irrigation channels across the island, enjoying views that are impossible to beat.
If you aren’t keen on walking, take the Madeira Cable Car up to see the beautiful views surrounding the capital.
Of course, a trip to Madeira isn’t complete without some water activities. Because of Madeira’s position in the Atlantic, it’s an especially great plate for whale and dolphin watching. There are several catamaran cruises available.
Getting around:
While Funchal is the largest town on the island it is still easy to get around on foot. There are also local buses available and cars to hire.

We liked where the hotel was situated so that we could walk into Funchal and it felt more local. I thought your rep from Windsor Travel was very helpful and gave us a good start with what to do during our time in the resort.

7.1/10
The part of the holiday I was most impressed with was that for all 4 transfers our transport was either waiting for us at the airport (2) or came to our hotel at the agreed time (2). This makes all the difference. Thank you. We started our holiday to Madeira with a 3 night stop over in Lisbon, which was also a pleasant experience.
