Rochão Village by Rent2U, Lda has sea views, free WiFi and free private parking, situated in Calheta, 25 km from Girao Cape. With mountain views, this accommodation features a balcony. When staying at the guest house, guests can use private entrance.

We really liked the challet and the place itself. It was quiet, with great views and with borrowed car we can go anywhere with no problem. The communication over the whatsapp was perfect, we also received nice gift for the beginning - tasty snacks of mainly local food. The beds were comfortable as well as outside sitting, the kitchen had all equipment we needed and even more ,-) The swimming pool is very nice with views, just the watter could be a bit warmer. But our litte one loved it anyway. We have also tried the nearby restaurant and the food was very yummy.

With garden views, this accommodation features a balcony. The guest house provides mountain views, a picnic area, and free WiFi is available throughout the property.

This was the most pleasant stay we had in almost a month on Madeira! The host Luis and his family are so welcoming, kind and helpful. The view from the unit is absolutely beautiful and it is fully equipped with everything you could need. The apartment was so clean and very well maintained. We were treated like family; it was the most personable stay I have ever had anywhere in the world. The town of Calheta is so quaint but yet has everything you could need. It is a perfect place to stay on the island to have a relaxing time yet still be close enough to everything you want to do.

Maison Zita offers accommodation in Sítio do Lameiro, in the Estreito da Calheta area, 5 km from Calheta Beach.

There is a living room at the property, fitted with a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, and certain rooms feature a seating area for your convenience. Some rooms also have views of the sea or mountain.

It's very peaceful place. If you are on Madeira for hiking and looking for place without people, it's right place to be. You will get whole flat - with fridge, kitchen and even washing machine. The awesome terrace with sun afternoon. you won't see sunrise or sunset, there are hills everywhere, but the panoramic view to ocean is awesome anyway. remember - you have to bring everything with you or buy in the next supermarket (powder for washing machine, shampoo etc. I found oil and salt only in the kitchen), which is fully ok, but I think, it's good, if you know it in advance. I went every second day to restaurant and cooked also self (vegetables and fish are very tasty there even from supermarket) there is good restaurant 5 min by car or 10 min walking (but remember - you live on the top, so you have to walk also back after your dinner) and couple of little supermarkets in neighborhood. Easy parking. Car is a must, if you rent this flat. Calheta is 10 min by car - for ocean, beach and whale-watching tours (use H2O company, they are awesome). In lower flat live older man, who was friendly to me and even gave me on my last day some bananas from local garden. (we couldn't communicate due to language, but it was very touchful moment). the owner of flat speaks French and a little bit English, but actually there was no urgent need to communicate (except I asked once about trash - you have to put it in container on the street)

Less than 10 minutes from Calheta Beach, these traditional Madeiran houses offer fantastic views of the Atlantic Ocean and are close to the beautiful waterfalls of Rabacal.

Along with free wireless internet access, the units also have an equipped kitchen and comfortable seating area. Each one also has a private entrance and garden.

Lovely cottages. Beautiful pool area to watch the sunset. Pedro and his wife were the best hosts - with great local recommendations for everything. Small touches that make a difference - cloths for dirty hiking boots, local fruit and herbs, book exchange. A lovely place to return to after a day exploring the island.

Some units have a terrace and/or a balcony with mountain or garden views. At the guest house, each unit includes bed linen and towels.

A real pleasure to stay in this big home sarounded by very expensive homes. While I enjoyed the company with others staying there, I also enjoyed having the home completely to myself throughout most of the day. Excellent views, very clean. The bedroom and bathroom seemed like it's own apartment, very large. The owners husband and wife are very sweet, and I enjoyed sharing lots of stories with the owner.

    Everything! The views , the surrounding nature. The helpful hosts. The added touch of a bag of fresh bread for each pod every morning. Great location for exploring the south of the island , although in all honesty the north is equally as accessible from Calheta. Calheta itself has a lovely beach and promenade area with a good variety of restaurants with chilled beach vibes. The kids loved the pool on site ❤️

    We really liked our stay. The hostel is in a great location, close to the beach, restaurants and supermarket. The room we stayed in was very comfortable and quiet. The windows face the main street, but the room was not noisy. The insulation is very good, and the room also has a fan in case of heat. Very easy check in and check out.

    Peace, quiet and beautiful views of the slopes and ocean. Watching beautiful sunsets every day. Private pool clean and heated. Kitchen equipped very well. Great hosts and convenient, prompt contact with them. Astounding welcome pack upon arrival. I highly recommend renting a car, which is the best mode of transportation locally.

    As others said, Theresa is an amazing, friendly and thoughtful host. Great location if you have a car - half way between mountains and the coast, short drive to each of them. Most of the island is within 45 mins reach. Clean flat on the ground floor with nice view towards the ocean and a green valley below it. Quiet and peaceful location with parking by the property, child friendly. All amnesties one needs even for a longer stay. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend.
