Arrival by car

Directions from Funchal Airport (FNC):
From the airport, take the Via Rapida (expressway) west towards Funchal. It takes about 15–20 minutes to reach the Funchal "Porto/Hospital" exit. Attention: you must turn left here, i.e., leave the expressway from the passing lane. Then continue driving downhill until you reach a roundabout. Continue straight ahead, pass the hospital, and continue down to the next large traffic light intersection. Here you will already see the Pestana Carlton Hotel in front of you. However, to correctly reach the entrance, you must first turn right and drive a "loop" by circling the monument that becomes visible in the middle of the road leading upwards, then drive back and turn right.
