Hotel Review
Quinta da Bela Vista, Funchal, Madeira
WHAT WE LOVE...
This family-owned estate centred on a mid-19th century manor house is set above Funchal with five acres of walled gardens and an attractive pool. Open to guests since 1989, it has a quiet and measured mood with loyal staff and repeat guests who appreciate its unflashy ways. Most of the spacious rooms are set in two purpose-built blocks, many with a balcony, while the numerous lounges and long corridors house a treasury of antique furniture and artworks. Some 60 per cent of guests are British who stay a week or longer, mixing excursions to Funchal and around the island with downtime in the leafy grounds. A stay here is certain to be restful while the quinta's generous meals, elegant dining rooms and genial staff create happy memories.

Style & Character
Ideal for anyone drawn to a relaxed and spacious hotel with large, walled grounds, dedicated staff and a civilised atmosphere. We love the wealth of antique furniture, rugs, paintings, china and art that adorn the corridors and public areas, especially in the elegant manor house.

We loved the cordiality, professionalism and attention to detail of the long-serving restaurant staff who anticipate your every need.

Rooms
