Set in over 5 acres of exquisite gardens high above the town, the Quinta da Bela Vista Hotel has beautiful views of distant Funchal (3km), bay and mountains. Built in 1844, the manor has elegant public rooms exquisitely furnished with crystal chandeliers, original paintings and antiques - and period guest rooms are available. There are also two discreet more modern wings. A superbly restored manor house is at the heart of this delightful hotel - a family-run business that prides itself on attention to detail and personal service. Tranquil, and with an air of history and exclusivity, this hotel undoubtedly appeals to discerning couples. A heated freshwater pool and reduced green fees at the island's two golf courses make this the perfect place to relax. In cooler months the library is made cosy by a cheerful fire.
