Churchill painting in Madeira
|
Reid's Palace Hotel, MadeiraThe famous Reid's Palace Hotel is now owned by the Orient Express Group. Winston Churchill was a frequent visitor, spending much of his time painting the fishing village of Cămara de Lobos. 'Tea' on Reid's terrace reflects one of the British traditions of the island. Reid's is perched on a cliff overlooking Funchal harbour. As one of the world's top hotels, it is obviously expensive but off-season deals can be good value. Be careful not to to book a room facing the road - the traffic never stops.
