We stayed at the villa for five days and didn’t want to leave. It offered much space, large meal tables, spacious bedrooms, luxurious beds and mattresses, and a fully equipped kitchen.

We have stayed in the full furnished apartment, that had perfectly fitted on our trip. Hospitable hosts Conceição and Albertino were very kind and polite. I can recommend that apartment to stay in your trip to Madeira.

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 in perfect condition and very clean. It contains everything you need for relaxing vacations in Madeira. The location is perfect and very quiet. Many small and beautiful villages with vergy good restaurants and shopping are close by and easy to reach with the car.
The communication was also exemplary. We always received all information in a very short time. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. If you are looking for relaxing vacations in a great area, we can highly recommend this house.
Absolutely superb stay here. The owners are so kind and provided really helpful tips when we checked-in, as well as giving us some local fruits & delicious Madeira wine! The apartment is absolutely spotless and really well equipped (blender, food processor, washing machine, smart TV, great oven). There are 2 beautiful, sunny balconies. It is a really quiet and peaceful area with amazing views of the sea and the mountains. We will definitely return here!
This is a very good place to stay in Madeira.
The apartment is very comfy and stylish. There is everything one needs for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything for cooking as well as a coffee machine and a dishwasher. The room is really spacious and you can enjoy incredible views from the balcony!
The host was nice and provided us with some useful information regarding all the interesting spots in Calheta.
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.
The location of the villa is absolutely great. Close to the beach, restaurants, supermarket and all the island attractions (by car). The accommodation is well equipped with everything a family of 12 people and 3 generations could need. Astonishing views of the sea and the mountains.
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!
Lovely view out to the Atlantic and with the mountain behind the Villa. Clean on arrival and well equipped. Comfortable bed and air con which was nice! Good location for a base on Madeira, also a couple of places to eat and drink out within walking distance.
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.
