History
We fall in love with this place every day.
For its colours, for its stories.
Quinta Bela Vista is more than just a hotel: it is the story of a family spanning generations, a refuge preserved with dedication and care. Since 1844, this property has been a place of meetings, memories, and transformations, always keeping its essence intact.
Madeira's Quintas
Madeira’s Quintas are much more than beautiful properties—they are living testaments to the island’s history and identity. Once family residences and agricultural estates, they have evolved over time into welcoming destinations without losing their original character. Surrounded by lush gardens and walls that hold centuries of memories, these quintas preserve architectural details that tell stories—sash windows, antique shutters, discreet chapels, and the charming Casinhas dos Prazeres, small garden retreats inviting contemplation. Today, they welcome those seeking authenticity, beauty, and a glimpse of the past, where every corner keeps Madeira’s essence alive.
Quinta da Bela Vista
Built by the ancestors of the current owners, the Quinta has passed through generations within the same lineage, witnessing changes without ever losing its soul. At the end of the 20th century, it was carefully restored, becoming an elegant five-star hotel where past and present meet in perfect harmony. Today, surrounded by lush gardens with stunning views over Funchal, Quinta Bela Vista remains a place of welcome and charm. A space where every detail tells a story and where every guest becomes part of this living heritage.
The Manor House
In 1989, the hotel was born here. Today, it hosts a Fine Dining restaurant, a Cocktail Bar, a library, and cosy sitting rooms—one with a fireplace. For those seeking a stay with soul, four Junior Suites within this house offer exclusivity and charm—a true journey through time.

The Gardens of Quinta Bela Vista
Nature carefully tended and nature free in all its abundance: two spirits in harmony in Quinta Bela Vista’s gardens. Here, the landscape dialogues with time and history. These gardens guide visitors along paths lined with magnolias, jacarandas in bloom, and native Laurisilva vegetation. Lakes, fountains, and sculptures punctuate the route, while bougainvilleas and orchids add colour to the scenery.
