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

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.

hotel on the beach

hotel placé idéalement en bord de mer, sans passage de voiture à proximité. Belle vue sur la côte. Grand parking à 300 m. Possibilité de se baigner sur une plage située à 200 m. pour les amateurs de trails, de beaux dénivelés à faire avec parcours partant du village, circuits courts avec fort dénivelés, et longs jusqu'à 35 km. à moins d'une heure de nombreuses randonnées cotières, montagneuses ou Levadas pour découvrir une végétation luxuriante.

Sehr gute Unterkunft.

Die Lage und die Umgebung des Hotels sind wirklich gut. Man muss sich im Klaren sein, das die Brandungswellen wirklich sehr laut sind auch bei geschlossenen Fenstern. Das einzig negative waren die extrem harten Matratzen.

Hotel für eine entspannte Zeit.

Vila Bela ist ein schönes, einfaches u.kleines Hotel in einem ruhig gelegen kleinen Kuestenort. Das Meer zeigt sich in einer schönen Bucht direkt hinter dem Haus. Drumherum gibts mehrere preisgünstige Restaurants und außerdem ein wunderbares Meerwasserschwimmbecken. Dieser Ort, samt Hotel ist bestens für erholsame Urlaubstage auf Madeira geeignet.😁

Man darf nicht vergessen, dass es für Hotelgäste ein kostenlos zu benutzenden Meerwasserpool gibt und nicht wesentlich weiter den genialsten Naturstrand mit schwarzen Sand auf Madeira.
