The verdict
Liked · 70Funchal gets warm, mostly positive word from people who know it, tempered by hills, audio-heavy vlogs and a few cost and pace caveats.
- scenery and beauty
- relaxed lifestyle
- friendly locals
- good weather
- easy flight connections
- charming old town
- steep hills and walking
- limited car-free access
- cost of living concerns
- thin info on daily life
- uneven video audio quality
- Beautiful island, peaceful pace suits remote workers who like calm
- Hills make walking hard without a car or strong legs
- Flights are frequent, mostly to mainland Europe and Lisbon
- Locals are warm; expats feel welcomed after years
- Video content is mostly tourist-focused, with little on long-term living
