Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was awesome, directly above the sidewalk for people watching and directly on the ocean, could feel the waves crashing, just wonderful. The views are great, the salt water pool with wave crashing in, the blow hole and black sand beach 750meters to the east were fun. Nice safe little village, great inexpensive restaurants, loved the scabbard fish and Sangria.

Ein wunderschöner Urlaub

Wir haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt. Paula, die Eigentümerin hat uns noch nach Mitternacht herzlich empfangen, die Aussicht mit Meerblick einfach herrlich! Frühstück gut, Zimmer (Standard, 1 Stock) gut, Reinigung übermäßig freundlich und fleißig, Surfschule nicht günstig (aber normal in Madeira) bietet für das Geld wirklich viel. Familiärer Flair

Localisation intéressnte pour départs nombreuses randonnées. Village sympathique, quelques restaurants, un bar, une taverne, un musée et même une petite supérette. L’hôtel nous a gentillement uprgadé pour la magnifique suite avec une terrasse gigantesque, vue mer et montagne. Un super séjour même si le temps n’était pas tous les jours au beau fixe.

Koselig og intimt hotell med god service fra personalet. Rommene og fellesareal rent og pent. Frokosten er enkel, men middag oh lunsj er til gjengjeld svært bra. Spektakulær natur og landskap. Vi kommer gjerne igjen.

Perfekte Lage und Aussicht

Tolle Lage und tolle Aussicht, insbesondere vom Zimmer mit Terrasse und Balkon zur Bucht hin. Neues Badezimmer und bequeme Betten. Alles sehr sauber! Frühstück ist simpel aber gut. Personal ist hilfsbereit und hat gute Tips für die Umgebung. Gute Küche im Hotel und in der Gasse hinter dem Haus. Da das Hotel direkt an der Bucht liegt hört man die Brandung auch bei geschlossenen Fenstern. Wer das nicht mag sollte Ohrstöpsel mitnehmen. Empfehlenswertes 2-Stern Hotel!

Just lovely.

Our first four nights of a three week stay on Madeira were at the Vila Bela, previously recommended to us by another couple. The room was comfortable, spacious and had a balcony overlooking the ocean. Breakfasts, taken al fresco, were of fresh rolls, cheeses, meats, fruit, etc. and the restaurant, also al fresco at this time of year, is highly recommended. The staff were friendly and we would certainly return for another stay. The village is a good centre for walks and has a swimming pool, several cafes, restaurants, a rum factory, mill museum and as we found on one of the saint's days, the locals know how to party.
