Greetings from Madeira.
Our first time here, and this is Reid's Hotel, famous for being Winston Churchill's home from home.
Proper colonial splendour, and unashamed luxury.
Nope, we aren't staying here, wish we were, (out of my price range) but calling in for a cocktail or a nibble, the service and quality is simply first class.
It's owned by Belmond, who also own the Orient Express, so the same standards apply throughout.
