Quinta da Bela Vista - Madeira

Lovely staff, excellent food. State of room decor was a little tired (eg: cracked wall tiles in bathroom). Poor coordination between reception and housekeeping led to avoidable delay at check-in. Overall a very enjoyable time.

We had lovely week. Staff from rececetion to resturant are all very polite and helpfull. Our room was spotless cleaned everyday. Breakfast was plentifull. Our 4 coarse dinner always very tasty.Thank you to chef who made me yummy vegetable dinner. I will recomment this hotel to my friends and family. Peacefull stay and will surely come back. Once againt thank you Carina for looking after us.

A very comfortable hotel, was a family home, lovely antiques, which makes it more homely. Very peaceful, lovely grounds, swimming pool. Being out of town, ( a shuttle bus from the hotel into Funchal ran every day),gave it a quieter atmosphere .in the main dining room a 4 course meal was provided every evening. I think the chef was keen to experiment sometimes, sauces failed to compliment the main ingredient! The other resteraunt, The Manor House, booking essential was superb, silver service, atmosphere! The rooms were large, well cleaned equipped , comfortable beds. All staff from the reception the cleaners , gardeners were very helpful, friendly and helpful. Overeall a very calm place to relax and ‘chill,’

Beautiful hotel and wonderful staff offering great hospitality at reception, housekeeping and food and beverage. We did find the hotel lacked any evening vibes and some service in the hotel bar as an alternative to using the pool bar. Disappointed that the shuttle bus is not available at the weekend.

The Quinta is in a beautiful location with gardens and views over Funchal. We chose to go half board and the food was exceptional - we would definitely recommend this option. Our daughter, despite being the only child staying in the Quinta, really enjoyed herself. She loved the swimming pool, visiting the turtles in one of the ponds and also appreciated the efforts from the staff to make her stay fun. The staff deserve a special mention as without exception they were cheerful and extremely helpful. We hope to return!

This is a beautiful hotel within its own exrensive garden grounds. It is perfect for couples seeking a bit of peace and quiet yet not far from yhe bustling capital of Funchal. The food was excellent. They offer a fixed 4 course menu, a Manor House A la Carte and a poll bar menu. All good value. We ate at the pool twice.. the fixed price once, and the Manor House once.. one night we went out to town. The hotel offers a shuttle bus at predefined times to travel to Funchal but we found UBER was the best option for cost and flexibility. The rooms were spacious and tidied daily. The staff were outstanding.. friendly and informative with great English and good sense of humour.

All the positives in previous reviews are spot on and we had a lovely holiday staying at this hotel & can't wait to return. Our room was comfortable and spotlessly clean. All staff were so friendly and polite. The breakfast was really good with plenty of choice and the handful of meals we had were lovely. We used the supermarket round the corner which also had a lovely cafe. We used the courtesy minibus a couple of times and the local buses were really easy to use if you wanted to travel into town at different times to the minibus or at the weekend. The hotel also helped us arrange car hire which we enjoyed for a few days. All in all, an amazing experience in a really bespoke hotel where we were made to feel very special.

Really enjoyed our stay at Bela Vista. Thanks to all the staff, especially Paula, Carina,Sonia, Magda and Eusabio. We were made to feel very welcome. Dave and Lindsey Pearce

Pleasant quiet hotel to stay at, the staff are very helpful and can't do enough for you. The rooms are dated but very clean and well appointed, the breakfast is exceptional as are the other meals. The hotel is not central but offers a drop off/pick up day time curtesy minibus Monday-Friday so be prepared to use taxis out with these days/times.

From the first day we arrived to the last, this was an amazing, relaxing experience. The hotel and it's surroundings were beautiful and tranquil. Staff were helpful and friendly. We had a great break away and would definitely recommend it to anyone.
