Take full advantage of a relaxing atmosphere with gorgeous sea/ mountain views
This villa is located in Arco da Calheta, South West part of the Island, you will be blessed with amazing sunset views over the Atlantic Ocean. The nearest town, super market is only 5 min drive away, The local town Calheta has a gold sand beach, a plesant marina area where you will find a variety of restaurants and bars.
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. Itâs 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 doesnât show up on VRBO.
Alberto and Maria were incredible and very friendly hosts. The House is perfect for a relaxed holiday and we really enjoyed the pool and the amazing view. We really recommend this accommondation and are planning to visit again.
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.
Nice location to spend a holiday. No comments about the house, on the contrary: everything was completely fine. Enjoyed pool, bbq and lounge. Maria and Alberto: thanks for the nice time.
Thank you so much Alberto and Maria from a lovely holiday, the villa and pool were excellent, the views amazing, a heaven on the hillside, so quiet and relaxing.
Local to restaurants, shops and the Marina
Thanks again ,highly recommended

If it was for me, I would have stayed forever. The house is perfect: The view, the garden, the pool...The hosts are super nice and very helpful. And of course, the weather was awesome. I enjoyed my time on Madeira very much.
This Villa is situated in a very peaceful area perfect for taking in the views of the ocean and beautiful sunsets. The pool was a perfect temperature during our stay in September. The villa is as described and the owners family responded efficiently when we required assistance. We would visit again.
tvery helpful and dear host.
The guest house is in a quiet location. The view of the ocean is wonderful.
BBQ and swimming in the pool is the perfect combination.
We will back after our tour ;-)
Warm greetings

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.
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.

Beautiful villa, spacious, immaculate, heated pool, indoor BBC, great Views, local lavada walking
We loved this villa, and recommend it , especially the heated pool. We has lots of local walks
The problem with automatic gate was quickly fixed by the owner. Sadly there were 2 burnt out cars outside gates which created neglected look to the area.
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 ownersâ 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 dayâs walking. The views over the coast were spectacular from the terrace and living room. A car is absolutely essential. Thoroughly recommended.
It was everything we hoped for and a lot more. We really enjoyed the amazing views, the pool, the indoor bbq and the privacy. We would love to keep this a secret to ourselves but that is a bit selfish! Go to this wonderful property and bask in all the joys that this fantastic island has to offer has to offer.. We aim to return soon rather than later!
Canât wait to return
It was a perfect for us if anything itâs a little undersold the pictures really donât the villa Justice . Alberto and Maria are the perfect hosts, attentive that we felt would have been available anytime if needed . The villa was spotlessly clean & well appointed .?close enough to anything you needed and far enough away for a peaseful break & the pool was spotless perfect temperature and plenty big enough .
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 đđ
This is a true Gem. The owners are fantastic and welcoming. The place itself is clean and quiet with such beautiful views. You will need a car as you are about 1/2 way up the mountain and please make sure you contact the owners before arriving and use there directions as google will send you on a wild ride you will not like. My wife and I and my daughter who stayed with us loved the place and the location. The sunsets are incredible. We like to move around and loved the location for that ability. The only suggestion I have is plastic glasses for outside and a few more especially larger glasses as I like my beer. We highly recommend this gem Wonderful spot wonderful people and the sunsets are unbelievable.
We really enjoyed the stay in Alberto's villa. There were only 2 of us and there is plenty of space for 4 adults. The accomodation is of a good standard with plenty of equipment for cooking. I would definitely recommend having a hire car if staying there as it is quite high up the hill and any walking from the villa involves uphill or downhill (as is most of Madeira). Finding the villa was a bit hard although if you follow Alberto's map to the letter it is ok. The pool area is really nice though we only swam twice as it was November and although the water was fairly warm it was pretty cold when we got out.
Overall we loved the Villa and Madeira and would definitely recommend.

The property was exactly as the on line photos portrayed, even better in some cases. The garden and pool area were fabulous and really well kept. We stayed two weeks and the owners visited twice in that time to mow the lawn etc. They always notified us that they were coming to make sure it was convenient. Both bedrooms were large with masses of storage. The lounge was bright and airy with large glass sliding doors which gave a fabulous view down the hill to the sea.
The kitchen was well equipped, along with a laundry room containing a washing machine and ironing facilities.
Our favorite room however, was the garden/bbq room. We spent a lot of time in there, particularly in the evenings watching the sun go down.
The villa is certainly somewhere we would like to visit again in the future.
The house of Maria and Alberto is a modern house which has just the right size for 2-4 persons. The open kitchen is functional and equipped with all the amenities needed. There is even a little washing room. The two bedrooms have a good size with large built-in closets. There is one big en suite bathroom with an impressive bathtub and one bathroom with a shower. The living room has a big sofa from which you have a stunning view through the panomaric windows down to Arco da Calheta and the Atlantic ocean. From the terrace you have the same view. The poolarea is very spacious. The pool itself has a good size with absolute clean water. Additionally there is big BBQ room and a nice little garden with banana trees. Maria and Alberto are a very friendly and caring couple. They let you know in advance everytime they intend to come around for gardening and poolservice. Another advantage of this villa is that you can rent a car from Alberto. And a car is absolutely needed. So they picked us up at the airport on arrival and drove us back on departure. Over all we had fantastic holidays in a very nice villa with super 5* hosts!
Donât 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 youâre paying quite a lot for a night. Total AC per day is 30âŹ, 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 - youâll have to either vent a lot or pay for the AC.
The shower renovation is long overdue.. each time youâll 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.
