Quinta da Bela Vista

Beautiful location. It was very peace and quiet. The staff were professional and at the same time friendly. The rooms were wonderfully large and spacious. Enormous bed! You get what you pay for. Could not fault anything-except they need to invest in decent hair dryers first the bedrooms.

A lovely hotel with a slightly colonial feel. The staff were friendly and couldn't have been more helpful. Food and wine were very decent. This is our "go to" hotel for any future trips to Madeira.

We had a lovely week at this beautiful hotel. The mid week flights from Manchester arrive late in the evening, but the duty manager had arranged for a meal to be brought up to our room, which was much appreciated. Two slight surprises on arrival: our Junior suite turned out to have two single beds, not the Queen/King shown on the Jet2 details. Fortunately, the same duty manager upgraded us to a room with two Queen- sized beds. The second was that in the Manor House (Junior suites) there is no air conditioning - not a showstopper for us, but something to consider. The positives: the hotel and gardens are fabulous and the staff are even better. Everyone was so pleasant and helpful. The pool area and the bar are great. We stayed half- board and the food was plentiful and delicious (the evening menu is a fixed four course affair, although there is also a separate à la carte option in another restaurant). Overall, highly recommended.
