Restaurante O Piquinho: Great Views, OK Food
kit_mc Says: Set in a huge, cavernous restaurant, this place is a fairly new addition to town. As it's up in the hills inland, you really need to get a lift or take a taxi there. Their selling point is certainly the great views that you get over town all the way to the sea. We ate here...
Restaurante Residencial O Facho: Restaurante Residencial O Facho
kit_mc Says: A very poor choice this. It's advertised as a Pizzaria, but when we walked in, one look at the pizzas (and accompanying faces of disappointment) at a neighbouring table made me go for some different. We really only tried this place as Machico is relatively small and you do...
Helpfulness
The best way to go to Machico city is by bus or car. If you chose the bus then SAM is your BUS company - the green buses. You can take the BUS at Funchal city center. The ticket to Machico is around 2 euros by now.

Helpfulness
"Una Clubhouse muy bonita" was the expression used by Severiano Ballesteros in 2001 when he took part of the Madeira Island Open.
In fact, a new and highly comfortable Clubhouse, built in 2000, offers an excellent extra support to the course.
Its spectacular views over the valleys, mountains, nearby islands as well as the best of Madeira's dramatic coastline make its location enviable.
The Restaurant offers an exquisite taste of both international and traditional portuguese cuisine together with the terrace's unforgettable surroundings.

salinhopt Says: Sunday is the day of 'Nossa Senhora da Piedade'. Locals still have a procession to this chapel taking Our Lady of Mercy through the park.
salinhopt Says: Ponta de São Lourenço's vegetation is very special and unique within Macronesia, not because it's unchanged, but for the presence of important groups that are virtually confined to this area. Apart from the rich vegetation, this reserve is home to many bird species and even...

We spent only a short time in Machico, on our eastern island tour. We had wanted to visit the Igreja da Nossa Senhora and the Capela dos Milagres but both were closed, like most churches in Madeira.
Going to Madeira is for a lot going to an unknown place. Most have heard from the island, but untill you visit it you can´t imagen the feeling which will fall over you when walking around and enjoying...
This seaside historic town has two old forts which bear witness to the local defence against the many pirate attacks on the village. Both forts (Nossa Senhora do Amparo and Sao Joao Baptista) date...
