Quinta da Bela Vista

Joli Hôtel style British calme avec une belle vue Quelques rénovations sont à prévoir, piscine et salle de sport Très bon petit déjeuner

Beautiful hotel grounds . Spacious rooms but tired decor, needs updating. Service was very hospitable. Much much older crowd

Stayed for a week as part of a family holiday. Enjoyed a pleasant stay but writing review to provide some fair warning to other potential guests and some suggestions to present management. First and foremost this is NOT a 5 star establishment, regardless of the suggestion on the (very lovely) website. Perhaps that was the case 10 or 20 years ago, but hospitality trends and norms change and the Quinta de Bela Vista has simply not kept up. Either serious investment and reform is needed, or the hotel should acknowledge that it is (at best) a 4 star establishment. Gym opening? 7.30am. Breakfast service? 7.30am No flexibility and hardly in keeping with an actual 5 star approach. The website also suggests a “fully equipped gym” but that is absolutely not the case (some random weights, 2 bikes, 1 ancient treadmill). Again, very far from 5 star and serious investment needed here and in many other parts of the hotel. The grounds are pleasant enough but a small pool (forget any lap swimming) and tired buildings and rooms. Again, absolutely not in keeping with 5 star labelling. By way of example, in terms of the rooms - no smart TVs (forget using Netflix or any other functionality) and no espresso/actual coffee machines (again, I don’t expect to find instant coffee in my room at a purported 5 star establishment). I could go on, but hopefully the review gives fair warning to anyone thinking about booking. Service was very nice (polite and well trained staff) and food was servicable, the property has a fading charm which appeals and my stay was pleasant but it is important that hotels do not misrepresent their value and star rating. Finally, location is away from Funchal centre and its waterside hotel *****. Local area not particularly pleasant and most Funchal attractions require journey into centre. The hotel does provide a mini bus but again times quite limited and it does not work on a Saturday, Sunday or national holidays. Again, sadly not quite a 5 star approach!

Bijzonder vriendelijk personeel Fantastische keuken Buitengewoon mooi uitzicht Heerlijke sfeer Pendelbusje naar de stad Geweldige ligging Poolbar met restaurant, a la carte restaurant en restaurant met vast menu Uitgebreid ontbijt Zwembad met ligbedden en poolbeheerder Panoramisch terras met uitzicht op de stad en haven.

The hotel was great, lots of facilities. We enjoyed the sauna and jacuzzi , but decided the well equipped gym was too much work, preferring instead to go for cocktails by the pool. The staff were so helpful. They went the extra mile, helping to organise restaurants and trips. They also provided a special treat as it was my partner's birthday. The food and service in the Manor House was superb.

Uma casa elegante com um optimo jardim, belas vistas para a Baia do Funchal, instalacoes muito limpas, um optimo buffet de pequeno-almoco e comida muito saborosa. O staff foi sempre simpatico, muito atencioso e prestavel. Nao faltava nada. Ficamos extremamente satisfeitos!
