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. 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.
The Quinta is set in 20.000 sqm of old established gardens with narrow cobbled paths and many exotic specimen trees and shrubs, such as kapok, paulownia, hibiscus and colourful flowering creepers. It is situated on the hillside on the northwest outskirts of Funchal, 1,5 miles from centre, with superb views across the mountains, bay and, on a clear day, to the Desertas Islands.
