During the winter, Madeira tends to be colder and rainier, making this a convenient season for staying inside and checking out one of the interesting museums in the region. The Museu Quinta das Cruzes includes over 500 years of art, ceramics, and antiques, while the Casa-Museu Frederico de Freitas is a home that dates to the 1800s.

I can see a lot of bad experiences with Sixt Madeira, but our experience was great. The car was clean and in good condition, pre-rental inspection quite thorough, but we also did our own video as well, so no issues at all.
