Where to sleep in Madeira — the neighborhoods and the picks, siesta side to fiesta side.
Funchal Old Town — the base
Painted doors, poncha bars and the cable car up to Monte. Everything starts here.
Lido & Hotel Zone — pool decks
Ocean pools and big-view hotels west of the center.
Ponta do Sol — the sunset village
The island's sunniest corner — banana terraces and a black-pebble beach.
Santana & the north — the wild side
Triangle houses and cliff coasts for the levada-first traveler.
