Directions, How to get
there
To arrive to the hotel drive along the Via Rápida
(motorway) in direction of Funchal, and take exit nº
12. Came down into town, passing by the Mercedes then stand on
always on your right across the traffic lights by the Fire Station
also across the traffic lights next to a tunnel. The next set of
traffic lights is on a main street. Unfortunately, is not possible
turn left, so guests have to carry on ahead for a short distance
until the next set of traffic lights and turn left across a small
bridge and then left again to go back on yourself. Change to the
right hand lane and take the right filter (turn right) at the
traffic lights. Approximately 80 meters along guests come to a
roundabout, go right around it and take the second exit. On the top
of the road it's the hotel, number 53.
