We had such a pleasant stay! They kitchen is very well equipped with fresh eggs daily to use, the beds are super comfortable, the rooftop is nice, we were able to wash our clothes, the bathrooms have really good water pressure and the house is super clean! There is no more we would wish for. We would come back anytime!

The host and the staff make us feel at home. The view is amazing and Calheta is one of the best beaches in Madeira

From the moment we arrived until the day of departure, the hosts went above and beyond to ensure a memorable and comfortable stay. For Christmas they brought us cake and wine, and also a bunch of delicious fruit from Madeira. In addition to the hospitality, the property itself was a gem. But I want to mention that the terrace on the pictures was not from our apartment, it was shared with other units. So the photos may be misleading.
Overall, our experience here was fantastic.
Perched on a cliff facing the Atlantic Ocean, this design hotel is within a renovated traditional farmhouse.

The location is amazing, great view on the sea from the room, the terrace and the restaurant. Very quiet area and comfortable room. Very good breakfast and restaurant. Nice crew.
This small hotel in the west of Madeira offers a restaurant, a bar and panoramic views of the ocean. It is 100 metres from the beach and close to the village of Calheta.

Arco da Calheta is a local parish with character, spread out across a steep, hilly valley with narrow, winding roads, facing the Atlantic. Visitors will likely live among local residents and their wildlife (one or two cows, a few chickens & cockerels announcing their presence; cats & and dogs calmly roaming around), although more holiday accommodation is springing up, and Shopkeepers/restaurants are helpful, and often speak English, though not all! The weather is hard to predict sometimes , and can contrast across different parts of the parish: near the ocean , it is more likely to be calm and sunny; further up the slopes you will get more cloud and possibly wind on exposed sections. A visit to a local supermarket will likely mean either hopping in your car or a very bracing workout for your leg muscles!

Arco da Calheta is a very peaceful part of the island with little traffic and mostly locals. There are some excellent hiking opportunities nearby, most notably 25 Fontes, which is a very popular (and therefore very busy) but beautiful trail. Not recommended without a car as even amenities are long and steep walks away and the hiking trails are only accessible with car too. Taxis don’t work here and buses are very infrequent.

Quieter than the Funchal area and still central enough to explore the island of Madeira. Some small shops, bars and restaurants around.
Close to Calheta where you can find a supermarket and a couple of restaurants. And the most sandy beach of the island!
Living further up the mountains, means driving on more windy. steep and narrow roads. Staying closer to the coast will make driving easier.

This was our second time in Madeira, and first, we stayed in Ribeira Brava. The landscape in Archo da Calheta is very similar, with dramatic cliffs hanging over the ocean. The valley is falling into the ocean, making the place very picturesque. We loved the area and would recommend it to anyone staying there.

Lovely place for family of four.
Lovely place for family of four. Nice, comfortable and quiet location with very local climate. Bar with great coffee below and reserved car park space. Few minutes driving from supermarket and the beach. Weather was usually better then in Funchal. Handy distance to Fanal forest or other attractions on the west side of Madeira. Highly recommended.

The host was amazing.
The host was amazing. I can not say enough good things about her. She was concerned about our happiness throughout the whole stay. Lots of recommendations of where to eat and things and places to see. The house was exactly as described and very clean. I would not hesitate to stay here again if it was available on my next trip to Madeira. Best rental property out of all of my previous stays using Booking.com.

The house is simply amazing. Everything is new and you have everything you need. It has a great view and the surroundings are very very very green. Waking up to the view of the sea and drinikg the coffee on the terrace is a great feeling. Very confortable and has lots of space. It can fit easily 8 people. And can do work from home from here. A supermarket is 8 min by car from the home and also some restaurants. Highly recommend! Can't wait to come back and book more time at this place.
A million dollar view from every hotel room. The rooms are big. Restaurant with delicious meals in the same building. The staff is very nice. The breakfast is quite rich, but they could make decent coffee, only instant coffee was offered. But maybe it would have been given if you had asked. We didn't ask. In February, the pool was freezing cold.
Calheta beach (sandy beach), suitable for swimming, is only 2.5 km away, and there are also several good and affordable restaurants there.
Stunning views, immaculate condition & prestinely clean.
A perfect place to stay with a fantastic view of the ocean. The infinity pool garden was exquisite & a treat to swim in at sunrise & sunset.
Inside there were nice added touches such as books & walking guide which were useful.
Calheta is nearby with nice restaurants & supermarkets.
You will definitely need a car to explore Madiera as it is extremely hilly!
Location was great. A very quiet, clean and cozy house with stunning views over Arco da Calheta. A long terrace on each floor. There is also a veg garden and we were given avocado and some local fruits. The hosts were professional and very kind. Renting a car is definitely recommended when visiting Madeira. The island exceeded my expectations. Beautiful place and beautiful people. We would love to come back.
Excellent house in a very good location, absolutely all needed amenities available. Even lots of pool toys were there. The view is stunning, there’s lots of room inside and on the terrace. The pool is amazing and very big - difficult to get a pool this size on Madeira. Host is very welcoming, he even organized some basics for us upon arrival so we don’t have to rush shopping. THANKS!
I would definitely recommend this place to everyone who comes to Madeira! Eddy was a very welcoming host. The place was extremely tidy and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. We loved the balcony with the stunning view of the ocean and the field of banana plants. We only stayed here for one night but definitely wish we booked it for longer! The pool was also very nice.
Stunning property in a beautiful location. Sun right through until sunset, and the pool area isn't overlooked. Good wi-fi, well-equipped kitchen, on-site parking. Short drive to Calheta with excellent restaurants, supermarket and beach. Local restaurant, bars and shops just about within walking distance.
The property must be managed by the Savoy Hotel chain. I was contacted by email one day before we were scheduled to stay at the Hill Houses. The email stated that they were sorry, but the rental house was no longer available, and they could give me a suite at their 5 star Saccharin Hotel in Calheta.
Great place with a amazing view on the ocean. Nice swimming pool. Hotel is small, all rooms had a view of the sea and swimingpool and balcony. Breakfast was very good and also hotel restaurant offers very good dinner . Parking is available . Staff was very nice and friendly .
We had a fantastic stay and we are so happy that we choose this wonderful place for our Madeira holiday. Such a beautiful apartment, with everything you need, so well equiped in every way and Christina and Kari were the most lovely hosts. We hope to be back soon!
Our house was very nice and clean, Calheta was the perfect place for a family with kids, the beach would be perfect for smaller kids too. Restaurants and Supermarket are 5 min away by car. Communication with property owner was smooth and nice
very friendly and helpful staff, especially Monica. comfortable rooms, ocean view from the room, there is a parking nearby. Hotel restaurant with good and tasty food. The breakfasts are excellent.
Everything was just great! It was one of the best hotels I've stayed in. Also the stuff was very nice, Monica helped us everytime we needed something. Definitely an accomodation to be recommended.
Great location. Be aware that there is an adventure getting into the parking area. The roads in Madeira are very steep, so might be a challenge to park.
