Traveler reviews
Saleem Chauhan
★★★★★5 months agoGreat view of Madeira, not too far out. Nice little walk if you have time but not really a destination in itself.
Carlos Teixeira
★★★★★a year agoNot the best viewpoint of the isle, but near the sea level and with good view for Funchal downtown. Easy to park a car and take a picture 📸
