Situated in Santa Cruz, Villa Calçada features accommodation with a private pool, a balcony and sea views. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The property is non-smoking and is set 1.4 km from Palmeiras Beach.

It's a mix of old stone made house (when you come to the parking) and a very cool modern villa with a pool is you are in the front side. The view is stunning, you have an overview of Santa Cruz, Atlantic ocean and planes going to the FUN airport. A lot of space, 2 BRs, 3 toilets. The host was very helpful and eager to help with any kind of request we had.

Featuring a garden with a children's playground, sun terrace and free WiFi, Casa da Horta by Atlantic Holiday is a holiday home in Santa Cruz. Guests staying at this holiday home have access to a balcony. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available.

A very comfortable house, undoubtedly a great place to stay in Madeira. Located away from tourist centers, yet only 5-10 minutes by car to the VR1 highway. We can choose either a very steep route with a slope of 30-40% in places, or a slightly longer, more comfortable route, although also steep in places. Peaceful and quiet neighborhood. The house is located in the rural area of Santa Cruz. In the morning we were woken up by the crowing of roosters and the singing of canaries :) There we could experience how the local inhabitants live. The house is surrounded by cultivated terraces, there are narrow walkways between the houses and the crops, along which irrigation channels have been improved. On the other side of the road, slightly below, there is a levada, different from all levadas visited by tourists - here you can see how lavadas are used in practice to irrigate crops. The house itself is very comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen, living room and two bedrooms in the attic. There is a small garden and a barbecue area. Sea View. Beautiful sunrises. There are planes landing and taking off below, but their noise is barely audible. Hosts from Atlantic Holiday were very helpful and we were able to get all necessary information via WhatsApp. We strongly recommend Casa da Horta! (or no... don't go there and leave a slot for us to book again ;) ) We want to come back here again!

Spacious and clean house. Excellent kitchen and a large table for a group of friends. Beautiful view of the ocean, Funchal and landing planes. Quite a steep road for a car. It is better to use the serpentine rather than the road suggested by the navigator.

Looking for a vacation home?

Great for families or large parties, vacation homes are privately owned accommodations, available for long or short-term rental. These homes are furnished and equipped with kitchen facilities, though breakfast might be offered as an add-on. These properties have their own independent front door, which makes them different than apartments.
