Set in the hills around Funchal, offering spectacular views of the town, the Quinta da Bela Vista is an oasis of tranquillity surrounded by beautiful mature gardens. Built in 1844, the Quinta has been extended and remodelled to offer guest accommodation of the highest standard which exudes the elegance of yesteryear. Antiques, fine paintings, tapestries and family heirlooms are found throughout the property and none more so than in the living room of the original Quinta and in the renowned à la carte restaurant.
Within this extensive estate are three buildings; the original Quinta and two garden wings which house the guest accommodation; a large heated outdoor swimming pool with sun terrace and poolside bar; seating pavilions; and numerous viewpoints affording stunning panoramas of the mountains and over Funchal (3km) to the ocean. Whether searching for a relaxing retreat or a base from which to explore the subtropical island of Madeira, the Quinta da Bela Vista cannot fail to impress.
