Perfect for those that wish to experience the traditional Madeira lifestyle and be close to the sandy beach of Calheta as well as having access to the beautiful Madeira countryside.
 
The traditional doors lead to the bijou living space, which leads into the kitchen and the protected barbecue area where you will find a further table and chairs and a second shower room. The staircase takes you up to a landing and small seating area with a window looking out to the fantastic view of the coastline.

Calheta is famous for producing the best white rum 'Aguardente', a special ingredient of the typical Madeiran drink 'Poncha'. If you are interested in knowing how the white rum is made, we recommend a tour of the 'Engenho da Calheta' the rum distillery where you can wander around and sample the produce.
 
Centro das Artes  Casa da Mudas is a new centre located at the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea and was built to host superb art exhibitions, musical performances and other events.
 
Madeira is a paradise for those who enjoy walking and hiking, and Arco da Calheta is ideally situated, having easy access to the road network and most places on the island.
 
Within 15 minutes are the beaches at Ponta do Sol and Ribeira Brava, the esplanades at Jardim do Mar and Paul do Mar, the laurasilva forest of Madeira (a UNESCO world heritage site - http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/934) and the moonlike landscape of Paul da Serra (1500 meters). 
 
An easy 30 minute drive brings you to the capital, Funchal.

The perfect place for a vacation on Madeira


This cottage is just perfect. We experienced a very warm welcome with a short tour through the cottage. The inside of the house is well maintained , well equiped and very clean. We really felt comfortable during our week in the cottage. The outside is just perfect. We spent lots of time on the beautiful terrace and could not get enough of the view. If we ever come back to Madeira we would stay here again and again!

Lovely house, beautiful garden, superb views!


The house very nice with two big bedrooms. The garden was absolutely great. Spacious, full of beautiful plants, trees and flowers. Just eighty meters above the ocean in between banana plantations; the view was just great. The best house we ever had on Madeira!
