My wife and I stayed here three nights in January and ate in the main restaurant two of those nights. It's a very quiet month; there were no more than three other rooms booked at the same time. But that was great! I got the pool to myself every morning, we played snooker on the biggest table I've ever seen,... More

Stayed at Quinta da Bela Vista with my wife and we were impressed in every way. Definitely a five star that pays attention to every detail, extremely friendly and efficient staff was always available to fulfill our needs. Large and comfortable room with private balcony is worth mentioning. The gardens and decoration are unique, at every corner we had pleasant... More

The food is very good, but so is the service at the pool and fitness facility. We really loved being able to relax by the pool with a cup of tea,... More

I have to agree with Kentishwanderer. The carpet in ou room was in need of a good clean or replacement. There was not minibar and no tea making facilities. The restaurant in the morning could not produce me a cup of real decaffeinated coffee brought me instant in a sachet. Not what I have experienced in recent 5 star hotels.... More

I fully accept that there’s no worldwide agreement on what constitutes a five-star hotel, but I’d say the Bela Vista falls short of most people’s assumptions in a number of respects. Our room, an upgrade from the regular accommodation, could certainly do with some detailed attention. Having said that, the standard of personal service provided by staff and the quality... More

We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary at this hotel, everything was excellent, especially the evening we spent in the dining room which is in a separate part of the beautiful grounds. The food was delicious, service first class. Great views from the pool area and all staff helpful. Although a little way out of town the hotel provides a mini... More

This was the second time we have visited the hotel and this time, and on our recommendation, we took three other couples as a family/friends visit. The hotel was as expected - immaculately clean and everything went just as hoped for. It is always a responsibility when you recommend a place to family/friends and so we wanted it to be... More
