We thououghly enjoyed our week at Quinta da Bella Vista. The room was very comfortable with a lovely view from our balcony where we could sit to sip our evening drinks. The food was excellent and the half-board arrangement seemed very good value. All the staff were extremely helpful and took a great deal of trouble to make us comfortable.... more

We have visited Quinta da Bela Vista for many years and it just gets better and better. The hotel has some of the most friendly and willing staff and management in Madeira, as they are always making sure you have an enjoyable stay. The views over Funchal from the hotel grounds, particularly near the swimming pool, are exceptional and a... more

a very nice and unique hotel perfectly situated above Funchal which can be reached with shuttle service within a short period of time. The service of the hotel is excellent, very friendly and the kitchen offered a perfect dinner which always met our expectations. A hotel which I can really recommend. Dr. Gloning more

My husband is disabled and the staff really put themselves out to help us, particularly the receptionists and the temporary bus driver.

The gardens are beautiful but the paths are... more

Management open to constructive suggestions. A la carte, table d'hote and bar menues were excellent but a bit expensive more

This was a terrifically lucky find, splendid small period hotel with rooms with great views of the harbour and cruise ships, an excellent location a short walk from the town and in the Old part of town, much better than the mega hotel quarter on the other side of the harbour. Great staff, lovely gardens, classy foyer and public areas... more

We loved this hotel. The location being a mile or so out of the centre of Funchal suited us as it was so peaceful with very little traffic noise. We didn't hire a car but used the hotel's courtesy bus service into and out of Funchal (though this didn't run on Saturday afternoon or Sundays) and also made the most... more

We stayed at this wonderful hotel for 4 nights in September 2009 and it is probably the best hotel experience we have ever had. From the initial e-mail communications before we arrived to looking after us during our stay the staff were superb. Our young daughter was an instant hit with the staff and enjoyed being fussed over. The Hotel... more
