After a disappointing holiday at the White Rocks hotel in Lassi , Kefalonia in June this year , it’s been a pleasure to have had a weeks holiday at the Castanheiro Boutique hotel . We booked this hotel based on reviews and location and we were not disappointed , we met up with our friends Sue and Steve who had already had a weeks holiday in another hotel on the island .The hotel itself was a mixture a modern an traditional ,the bedrooms were large and comfortable , ours looked out onto the street outside but it was fairly quiet , lovely bed ,brilliant shower , plenty of cupboards and large screen television. Breakfast and dinning areas were spotless inside and out , large bar area and reading areas . We did not use the rooftop pool or bar area but we had a look and the view was fantastic . As regards the food at this hotel I would give it ten out of ten , breakfast consisted of dried fruits ,fresh fruits ,cereals , help yourself cooked , toast , cakes etc or you could order cooked fresh food by the chef , lots of tea , coffee ,fruit juice. Evening meals were a treat , three course , soups etc , varieties of meat , fish , rice and vegetables and lastly some really good deserts , a bottle of house white was about 17 euros and a beer about 4 euros ,excellent service . The bar served some good inexpensive drinks and most nights there was musical entertainment . The hotel itself is about a fifteen minute walk to the main shopping centre an water front ,this was our fourth visit to the island but it’s still worth going up in the cable car or a visit to the market place to see the flowers/ vegetables/ fruits and fish and to have a coffee above. Funchal has changed a lot over the years bot it’s not lost it’s old world charm . As regards coming back never say never and if we did we would definitely stay at the Castenhiero hotel again.
