We recommend you take advantage of what the island has to offer, an evening of fado music in Funchal, or a cable car ride to the Monte Palace tropical gardens (with traditional wooden toboggans back down the hill) are well worth the trip. (baileyrobinson.com)
Enjoy the soulful sounds of Fado music wafting through the narrow streets, or enjoy a drink in the hotel bar or on the terrace. (wandertooth.com)
A more than reasonably good Fado restaurant in this neighborhood is: Lautasco, Beco do Azinhal 7 - 7A (off-the-beaten-track.net)
