Quinta da Bela Vista

The purpose of our visit to the Quinta da Bela Vista was a break between Christmas & New Year & in particular to see the famous fireworks in Funchal on New Year's Eve. The 'gala dinner' & fireworks did not disappoint! All the staff, from reception to housekeeping, were extremely friendly. Well worth spending the extra money for a room with garden & 'ampitheatre' view. Excellent breakfast. The only comment I have is that although the half board menu was excellent, if we were to return to Quinta da Bela Vista, we would probably not choose this option, to allow more flexibility. For the ladies, the hairdryer provided in the bathroom is not great, but as soon as I requested an alternative, one was delivered to the room within minutes.

Wonderful location. Appreciate also the shuttle from the hotel to the center of the city.Best location to see the fire show .

Tranquil and picturesque setting with good facilities Lack of kettle and tea / coffee in room

Quality of food, especially in a la carte restaurant Helpfulness of staff Poolside bar (actually 200 years old)
