The best place to stay in Madeira is a Quinta, which is traditionally an old family manor house and walled estate, with its own luscious gardens. Quinta da Bela Vista is one of the finest. Being the first five-star Quinta to host guests, this 158-year-old manor house has been transformed into an exclusive hotel where peace and tranquillity reign. It still retains the feeling of a private house with fine paintings and beautiful antique furniture in many of the rooms, dinning and public areas. Recently restored and extended, this hotel offers guests a stylish and luxurious holiday.

Suites and guestrooms with gardens, bay, ocean or mountains views have been furnished with meticulous attention to detail, creating an atmosphere of quiet elegance, comfort and charm.

Secluded between mountains and sea, enveloped in 20.000 sqm of luxurious gardens, with sweeping views of the bay, this family owned and managed private hotel was formerly a lovely traditional mansion, the old manor house dates back to 1844. Its traditional style has been maintained, whilst upgrading facilities to meet the needs of today’s discerning travellers.
