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.

A great base for exploring Madeira

We had a lovely stay here. The villa was great for us as it's quite high up (great views) and was also slightly cooler. Good and clean, nice pool, and friendly, helpful owner.

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.

Spacious house and pool

We had a nice week staying at Alberto and Maria's house. It is very comfortable and has everything required for a self catering holiday. The beach and supermarket in Calheta are easy to get to. Pool was fantastic - we used it every day. Beds really comfy and kitchen fully kitted out.

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 👍😎

A lot of time spent in car

Don’t stay here if you plan to hike the mountains, levadas or do anything besides chilling by the pool. 25 fontes and Levada Nova is pretty much all you can do in the region, everything else is going to be a lot of time spent in the car. Early wake ups, one lane roads and tunnels will exhaust you. The property itself is ok, little bit dated, with annoying water pressure, but it gets you through the night. There is additional fee for pool heating (absolutely understandable) and AC.. the AC fee is pretty funny since you’re paying quite a lot for a night. Total AC per day is 30€, pool heating around 20-25 per day. It would be nice to mentioned this in the description on site BEFORE renting. The house is up in the mountain, by the big wall, under the road - it gets really humid and smelly inside - you’ll have to either vent a lot or pay for the AC. The shower renovation is long overdue.. each time you’ll try to move the shower door, it will pop out of the rail, stop, or jam. Also be careful with food, there are ants around the sink. The access to the house is quite steep and narrow and requires a little bit more skilled driver. You can park your car up on the road. Communication and check in/out was ok. Alberto is skilled speaker and English is no problem for him.

Nice view and a great pool

We stayed in the accommodation for 2 weeks. The view & the pool were great. We also used the grill house & were satisfied. Alberto was very friendly & check-in was without any problem. The communication with him was great. But now comes the but: Unfortunately, the house was very damp overall. We aired it out a lot, but it was still damp. The cupboards smelled musty. The furnishings in the house were OK. However, some of everything was a little broken, for example, there were only three chairs to sit on outside, one of which was no longer very functional. That was OK for us, as there were only two of us traveling. However, the accommodation can also be rented for four people, so one chair would be too few. The kitchen equipment could also be expanded a bit. We managed, but a simple pair of scissors or a small pot would be a useful addition to the kitchen. Unfortunately, we also had a lot of vermin in & around the house. I know that the house is in the nature & that some things cannot be avoided. But ants in the kitchen & cockroaches in the living room? I don't know... We always put all the food away, so the ants had no reason to come back into the kitchen, but every morning they were back around the sink. And the cockroaches appeared in the living room and on the terrace. Of course, that wasn't very attractive. I think if the landlords put more effort into the house, it could be a big win for everyone. But all in all, we were still able to relax & had a nice holiday.

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.
