Villa was clean and comfortable and in a great location with an amazing view. The pool was lovely and one of the best we’ve had for cleanliness and not being too strong with chemicals. Alberto was super helpful and nothing was too much trouble and we will definitely be returning to this villa on our next trip to Madeira, highly recommended.

Stunning little property

Location was superb for exploring the island as well as evening walks. The local cafe's were great for snacks and poncha! We made use of the pool and garden room most days. Views from the villa were lovely and it was very quiet and peaceful. Alberto was a fantastic host - very responsive. Would definitely recommend.

Alberto is a very friendly host and was extremely attentive during our stay. It’s an amazing location and the pool area is very beautiful as is the inside barbecue room. The only slight drawback was that several of the tiles had chipped off the pool and my youngest cut his foot on them. Also be aware that heating the pool and air-conditioning is an extra charge that doesn’t show up on VRBO.

FABULOUS! Comfortable & relaxing.

We loved our stay here over the Xmas period. Blessed with great weather we were able to take full advantage of the pool and the facilities, which did upset our plans for touring, and gave us the unexpected full relaxation a holiday should provide. The BBQ feasts, a stunning Xmas Day sunset and several starlit skies were just what we love. The property had all the necessary requirements and we would happily return again.

Lovely house with private pool and fantastic view

We appreciated the tranquil location of the house and the warm ambiente of Arco de Calheta. The spacious rooms and excellent equipement made our stay very comfortable. We used the pool every day and our son really liked to jump into the water even at night when the pool was illuminated. A place to come back.

Great house with private pool

We loved our stay here. The owners were very helpful. The pool was perfect with the added bonus of the BBQ room at the end of the garden. Great view down to the sea. The house was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. You most definitely need a car. We struggled to find the house initially but once use to the neighbourhood it is fine.

The property is very comfortable with great views over the coast.

When we arrived we were met by the owners’ parents who showed us around the spotless and well appointed property. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom and shower first rate. The heated swimming pool was nice to cool down in after an enjoyable day’s walking. The views over the coast were spectacular from the terrace and living room. A car is absolutely essential. Thoroughly recommended.

Wonderful Madeira.

Modern, spacious well designed property in a quiet location with ample facilities for a comfortable self catering holiday. Surrounded by magnificent mountainous scenery, we enjoyed a months stay in February, and were fortunate to have good weather on 26 of our 28 days stay. Alberto and Maria are lovely people who care about their guests, communication throughout was excellent, we hired a car at the airport and the satnav link Alberto provided took us straight to the property where he was waiting to greet us.This was our fourth visit to the beautiful island of Madeira and probably the best, it left us wanting more. The property is located approximately a ten minute drive from the town of Calheta where you will find a Marina and a good selection of restaurants, there is also a Pingo Doce supermarket that is open seven days a week until 10pm each day 👍😎
