Get to the very heart of Madeira on a Funchal all inclusive holiday from Allinclusive-Holiday.

Funchal’s location, rising from the harbour on gentle slopes and finally peaking at 1,200 metres, means it is naturally sheltered. This, in turn, has given it its favourable climate, and led to its population topping 100,000.
