Thoroughly recommend Madeira. It's absolutely stunning - however that does inevitably mean that the driving is a little bit on the hairy side at times (especially with LH drive novices!)! Given all those tunnels I dread to think how one would get by without automatic headlights!!

Madeira is a great place to explore nature, particularly the many waterfalls and the vista points. Food is also great almost everywhere. the local restaurants are the best, and it s not needed to book in advance to find a space. Maybe you wait 10 mins, but you will be served.

A car was definitely needed for the island, saved me lots of time getting to places compared to using public transport, also cheaper than taxi. Gives you flexibility in time and planning to visit hidden places.

The toboggan run into Funchal was a highlight, and the cable car up to the start was great. Drove to the lava pools in Porto Moniz from our villa above Ponta Do Sol and can't believe how quick and easy it was to travel the island. Whale/dolphin watching also recommended.

We chose to stay at Porto Moniz rather than Funchal and did not regret it, the sea there is spectacular and the natural pools idyllic. We had a very relaxing stay, went on 1 levada walk (Alecrim) again, beautiful and not at all strenuous. The roads are good.

My partner and I did a lot of the hikes and levada walks. The car was perfect to get you up and down the mountains. Overall, it was an amazing place and I 100% recommend going to Madeira!

Car parking in Madeira was quite cheap and therefore do not worry about using a car park. Some of the car parks can be quite tight, therefore if you are not confident driving a left-hand drive car then hire a smaller vehicle.
