Sao Joao do Pico Fortress

Reviewed By nzkiwi99

Stunning views, fun walk. Handy tip: While you're in the area also visit Universo de Memorias Joao Carlos Abreu and Manor Estate of the Crosses Museum (Quinta das Cruzes)... these are about 5 minutes below the fort, and have tea shops (Quinta has a cafe). This area and Monte Palace are the highlights of Funchal.

Sao Tiago Fort

Reviewed By Jackwh1946 - Berkhamsted, United Kingdom

Despite rather mixed TA reviews my wife and I thorougly enjoyed our evening dining at 'the Fort'. We arranged to be picked up from our hotel (Jardins do Lago) in their vintage Austin 10 (cost 15 euros - a taxi would have cost at least 10 euros). The driver drove us through the old town honking his horn all the way - we laughed the whole way to the restaurant. Our meal was first class so no complaints from us - however the next table were extremely unhappy - they were there before us and only received their main course as we were about to leave - they sent it straight back! Not sure what went wrong. Anyway, we would certainly return.

Casas Tipicas de Santana

Reviewed By klaryze - Milan, Italy

Our guide brought us to see the typical houses of Santana, they are cute, small & colorful houses. Aside from the touristy houses, there’s also this one typical house where a certain Mr.Manuel still lives in (no entrance fee, just offer + he let you try some biscuits & a shot of rum i think), it’s the authentic typical house located few minutes from where tourists usually go to take photos. Better if you can visit his home & see how this typical houses looked like in the past.
