Having the car for the island made it much easier to explore at our own pace and without too many people on a large tour. We loved Porto Moniz natural swimming pools and also Monte. Some beautiful restaurants down Santa Maria street in Funchal.

Madeira is a breathtaking island with stunning scenery, well worth a visit. The road infrastructure is very impressive but there are some very windy, steep roads so you need to be a confident driver and I recommend hiring a powerful car.

The trip was great. 9 nights in Madeira in total but for the first 5 we stayed in Funchal and no vehicle was needed. Rented a car due to the location of where we were moving onto and the rural, mountain area of Sao Vincente. The cars took us through the clouds, up steep hills into the mountains.
