Madeira Regency Cliff

Madeira Regency Cliff is a four-star, adults-only hotel at Travessa da Quinta Calaça 6, in the Lido and São Martinho hotel zone of Funchal, Madeira, Portugal. The property is built on the cliffside above the Atlantic and is known for terraces that look over the bay, which give it a calm, view-led character. The old town and the Mercado dos Lavradores are east of the hotel and are usually reached by taxi or bus, while the Lido promenade and seafront swimming areas are the closest places to walk. Because only adults are admitted, the atmosphere is quiet and suited to couples and travellers seeking rest rather than family entertainment. Room categories are classic, superior, premium and suite, and the listed in-room features include air conditioning, a safe, tea and coffee facilities, a flat-screen television and wi-fi. Higher categories generally add better outlooks or more space, so the choice of room affects how much of the bay is visible from the balcony. The hotel belongs to the mid-range band for Funchal, and its rating places it among the better-reviewed properties of that group. The data available does not list a spa or a signature restaurant, so visitors should confirm current dining arrangements, breakfast inclusion and pool access with the property before booking. The neighbourhood has a selection of restaurants and cafes along the Estrada Monumental and the Lido, and the more famous seafood and espetada restaurants of the old town are a short ride away. From the hotel, visitors can arrange excursions to the levada trails, the cable car to Monte and the Botanical Garden through reception or local tour operators. The airport is roughly 20 to 25 minutes by road depending on traffic. The steep terrain around the hotel is typical of the zone and is worth considering for guests who dislike hills.
