The house is very spacious, exceptionally well equipped with a really good kitchen and the beds were very comfortable. Plenty of hot water, although it takes a while to run hot. We particularly enjoyed log fires in the living room as it was actually quite cold while we were there. The only downside of our trip was that the weather wasn’t great while we were there. The flowers in the garden are exceptional, and particularly the scent of the gorgeous Jasmine bushes I shall never forget. All in all we very much enjoyed this house. ##### Andrew H.

This time it was really lovely walking in and seeing the fabulous view out over the banana plantations and the village of Arco to the wide expanse of ocean beyond. The large patio, so nicely furnished and with plenty of lush, colourful plants around and of course the generous sized pool which was kept at a very pleasant 27 degrees for the length of our stay. We appreciated the spacious, open plan layout of the living spaces, the extremely well equipped kitchen and comfortable seating areas. The villa is a fabulous base from which to explore the island and we had a wonderful holiday. ##### Helen L. Stayed 18 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Eve R. Jun 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Spacious house, beautify view and warm pool The house is large and well kitted out. The beds were really comfy and the shutters meant that the bedrooms were really dark and we slept well. We paid extra for the pool to be heated which really paid off as the weather was very changeable - the kids spent several hours in the pool every day! It’s a good size. The location is quiet but we ended up driving a lot. Funchal is half an hour away. There is not much in Calheta itself but some of the little villages nearby are very nice. ##### Eve R.

It's a real gem! Besides being spacious, spotlessly clean and very well equipped it is also perfectly situated to explore the countless beauties of Madeira. We travelled from North to South, and East to West, falling more in love with the island each day. But the highlight was always returning to this stunning villa. We enjoyed the heated pool and spent all our evenings watching the sunsets from the terrace. We even spotted dolphins down in the bay from our balcony. Thanks also to the hosts and the local team for making our stay this memorable. We can only recommend going there and hope to be back one day. ##### Doris und Robert A.

It was very spacious and had so many different aspects of it. The town is quiet and the view is amazing. Not much to do in the town, so we focused on enjoying the villa and cooking. No beach near by. There is some hiking about 30 mins drive. You do need to rent a car and there are a lot of hills so be careful not to overheat your brakes. We did. Also, the hot water did not work on our last day, but the housekeeper sent over maintenance right away. Otherwise, highly recommended stay! ##### Lillian M.

The pictures do not do it justice is all I can say. The property is absolutely stunning and it really is made to feel like a home away from home! It is very spacious and light. We have fallen in love with Madeira and will be back soon. Even though it was December we had the most amazing weather and the pool was the perfect way to while away the hours. Not to mention the sunsets - from the comfort of the sofa or out by the pool! Nothing compares. We were sorely disappointed to leave before the fireworks. Our kids loved the lizards in the garden and had loads of fun feeding them. You will find everything you need in Calheta which is beautifully done up with the Christmas lights. We cannot wait to go back. ##### Diane N. Stayed 17 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas S. Dec 15, 2017 #### Wonderful house My wife and I had a wonderful stay in this beautiful house in Arco da Calheta. We visited Madeira in December and had a great time. The house is perfectly equipped. The kitchen is a dream. It has everything one can ask for, including a squeezer (every morning fresh orange juice) and ground floor heating. Everything was tidy and our host Richard made sure everything was set (including the heating of the pool). Every evening, we enjoyed a stunning sun set in the sea directly from the garden, which is made up by a variety of flowers I have never seen before. The rooms are very spacy and the bath rooms clean. Also, the wifi connection is very good. As we flew only with hand luggage, we happy to have a washing and drying machine. We would recommend this house and its friendly and responsive host. ##### Thomas S. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2017 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Suzanne Y. Jul 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### Never gave bad review before…do NOT STAY IN JULY. I have never left a bad review…anywhere. But you must know this. We left after 3 nights stay of no sleep due to a “cultural” celebration including Miley Cyrus and other artists of equivalent talent, mixed in with a Portuguese mass being BLASTED by concert loudspeakers from town center from 6pm until 2AM…yes 2AM. After 3 nights of this we were losing it. The owners who do not live locally could really care less. No forewarning that every July this occurs. After much discussion they refunded us $150 of our 2 week stay. It was confirmed by others in town to last an entire week. In addition,Calheta beach is not within walking distance and good luck finding parking..,paid parking…time limited…and the family friendly resort on that small beach was filled with chain smoking patrons…not a relaxing or healthy vibe…again, IF you can find parking. The house itself was spacious and lovely in spite of overuse of scented cleaning products. Keep in mind that going anywhere in Madeira requires numerous tunnel passages; winding roads and insane traffic circles. Tobacco use is everywhere. ##### Suzanne Y.
