Top Calheta Hotel Reviews

Saccharum Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great experience at Saccharum. Property is very clean and well kept, the view from our ocean room was amazing. The staff was helpful and friendly, going out of their way to get us a correct power adapter as we had the incorrect one. The breakfast buffet was top tier, we looked forward to our first meal of the day. We enjoyed our drinks at the beach club, and the loungers were clean and comfortable. My wife said her spa appointment in the hotel was a highlight of our trip to Madeira."

Spacious villa, 180* ocean view, large heated pool, 5 min from Calheta beach

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful home with plentiful amenities. Great location on island and communication with owner was superb. Only complaint was that we paid extra for a heated pool and didn’t get to use it, bummer!"

Casa Félix, Calheta: Villa with unique view! Private Pool!

10/10 Excellent

"Casa Felix is an outstanding property. Alferdo, and Celia have impeccable taste the home has all you will need for your stay in Madeira. The welcome basket is a very nice touch. One you stay at Casa Felix you will see why they are premier hosts. Thank you for a fantastic stay,Paul & Elizabeth"

Hotel Jardim Atlantico

8/10 Good

"Great stay and right at start of PR19 trail..2300 steps down to ocean. Only challenge was parking..but it was available with a 8min walk."

Beautiful large property with private heated pool

10/10 Excellent

"The property was comfortable and peaceful with sea views, and well-located for levada walks. We mostly stayed in of an evening, rather than eating out, to enjoy the ambience. Access was steep, so if hiring a car, we would recommend taking account of that. The pool was a little cooler than we are used to, but was fine in the daytime early October sunshine. We would book it again."

Calheta Beach - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"When we checked in the room we were given had a broken door so we were moved to another room. The room we were changed to was not the same as what we paid for. We paid for a double sea view and had a corner view instead. We made the best of it. We enjoyed our stay and the nightly entertainment. The buffet had a different theme each night which was nice. The poor area was clean and had plenty of lounge chairs. The beach and ocean are right there with lounge chairs and umbrellas. There are 2 onsite restaurants which are included with your stay. We only ate at one of them and the food was very good. The resort is very family friendly and has a lot of amenities geared to the children. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it."

Socalco Nature Calheta

10/10 Excellent

"Incredible location, right at the starting point of hiking trails. Breathtaking views. Delicious food. Super friendly and accommodating staff members!"

SPECIAL OFFER VISIT Madeira FebruaryWarm Pool Gardens terraces comfort

10/10 Excellent

"This villa was everything and more than we could have wished for. Sandra met us on arrival to show us round and continued to communicate well throughout our stay. The villa it self was extremely clean and the facilities there is everything you need for the perfect stay. The highlight for us was the outdoor kitchen bbq area where we spend most of our time in the evenings and when we weren’t out seeing the sights. The pool was perfect for cooling off in the hot afternoons. The views are absolutely perfect and the area is very quiet. The marina is only a short drive away which is nice for evening strolls and has some wonderful restaurants to dine in. We found it to be the perfect location for our holiday in Madeira. We would highly recommend a stay here and would definitely want to stay here again in the future."

Quinta Pereira ... beautiful panoramic views and ocean sunsets

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay at Quinta Pereira, which is beautifully positioned in a peaceful spot commanding amazing views of the coastline. The property has multiple areas to sit in the gardens and enjoy the views and offers lots of different ways to keep guests entertained, from pool and table football through to the piano (a very welcome surprise), board games and even an XBOX (latest model, which our 17yo managed to leave alone for once, thrashing us at table football instead!). A hire car is essential as the area's very hilly and we'd recommend a small car or an SUV - our saloon estate was too long and low to clear the bump at the gate and park on the drive - but Wendy was only too happy for us to use the parking space by the road.Walking the levadas and a trip to the lava pools of Porto Moniz were real highlights, as were the Sunshine Pub & Grill and Restaurante O Forno.Wendy was a really responsive host and we'd have no hesitation in returning to this tranquil spot, or recommending to others."
