City outings for retreat groups
Most programmes balance villa days with one or two Funchal excursions. The Mercado dos Lavradores — fruit, flowers and local life — works well as a morning trip. Evenings in the old town (Zona Velha) or at the marina give groups a change of scene. Madeira wine tasting, the CR7 Museum, Monte cable car and street art in Rua de Santa Maria are all within easy reach.
