About this property

Cantinho da Calçada Near Same Hiking (with nice view, heat & air-condition)

If you like nature and want to be away from busy, noisy, stressful city; this stone wall house offers you a great place to relax and have a romantic time near the nature and not far from Calheta beach sea front.
It is in a very quiet, peaceful; in the middle of a small village called “Florenças” there you can feel like you are in paradise.
We just kept the cottage in an old Madeira style with thick stone walls, so it can be fresh in summer and not so cold in winter.
A beautiful, holiday house fully equipped, located in the quiet village of Arco Da Calheta on the south west of the island. Accommodation consists of 1 bedrooms, 2 bathroom with fitted shower, kitchen, lounge with a lovely patio area outside through patio doors with a BBQ area; where one can enjoy the panoramic views of the mountains, ocean and sunsets and a nice place to relax and enjoy a nice glass of wine. This house is situated at just a few minutes way from supermarkets and coffee shops. The price includes all utilities (water, electricity, wi-fi internet, bed linen, towels, heat and or air-condition), end cleaning and cleaning in between stay cleaning if requested.

Great stay at Catinho da Calçada

After a very detailed itinery we were a bit lost after arriving at the Caminho das Florenças 😅 but relatives of our host were already waiting for us and giving us a very warm welcome 🤗 with typical local snacks and drinks from Madeira to enjoy during our stay. The view from the terrace and directly from the bed 😅😃👍 is really breathtaking. Enjoying a glass of wine when the sun sets and having breakfast on the terrace in the morning were only some of our highlights. We could also harvest oranges, lemons and tangerines 🍊 in the small garden belonging to the holiday house. And we really enjoyed our evening stays in the Bar do Russo which belongs to José and Mary. The poncha José creates is really worth tasting 👍😋 Don‘t miss the bar with the blue awning - Mary and Joe do whatever they can to make you feel comfortable. Be curious to meet the locals and spend a bit of your time with them when staying at the bar 😃

Ein traumhafter Platz zur Entspannung

Die Lage der Ferienwohnung ist wirklich top. Tolle Terrasse mit grandiosem Meerblick und Sicht auf den Sonnenuntergang. Sehr entspannend der eigene Whirlpool. Ausstattung in der Küche ist prima, man könnte auch außen grillen. Zwei Duschen / Toiletten. Die Zufahrt bis zur Unterkunft ist - madeiratypisch - schon eine gewisse Herausforderung. Die Vermieterin (mit ihrem Mann) ist sehr freundlich, zuvorkommend und einladend. Wir haben zur Ankunft und auch sonst kleine Aufmerksamkeiten erhalten und haben uns darüber sehr gefreut. Vielen Dank ...

Schönes Haus am Berghang

Das Haus mit Aussicht aufs Meer liegt schön ruhig an einem Berghang. Es ist gut ausgestattet und verfügt über eine große teils überdachte Terrasse. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit und wohnen im gleichen kleinen Ort. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen.

Authentic Suburban Guest House overlooking Calheta

This renovated rustic Madeiran guest house is up in the hills above the main town of Calheta, in Arco de Calheta parish. It is comfortable and fairly quiet. The hosts are extremely nice and accommodating and very responsive to anything that is needed, and were very helpful. Finding the property is somewhat difficult initially, both with Google maps (as warned) and even with the provided directions (which are a bit difficult to understand) but Jose' and Mary graciously met us in town when we called being lost, and led us to the property, showed us where to park and showed us into their guest home. For the uninitiated, driving up in these areas is an experience, so be prepared! There are some small limited local groceries and a few bars and snack bars nearby, but otherwise any other shopping or dining out will require an 8-10 min drive down toward the beach or into Calheta so we planned ahead. We acclimated as the week went on! We very much enjoyed the hospitality, being close to the high mountains and the Levadas, seeing the change of weather and the high mountain view of the valley, beach and the ocean. Jose' and Mary are extremely wonderful hosts and their home is very comfortable. It is a wonderfully remote, genuine Madeiran experience!

Toller Urlaub

Das Haus ist super, bietet einigen Luxus(Spülmaschine, Waschmaschine, Trockner, 2 Bäder). Aber... das Haus liegt hoch in den Bergen, 15 Minuten kurvige Straße von Calheta, muss man mögen. Dafür hat man einen wunderschönen Blick von der tollen Terrasse (mit Grill).

Komplett eingerichtetes Haus mit großer Terrasse, Meeresblick und Jacuzzi

Der Weiler Florencas ist zwar etwas abgelegen, etwa 10-15 Autominuten oberhalb von Calheta, aber Einrichtung und Ausblick machen das vollständig wett. Bis Funchal sind es etwa 45 Minuten. Natürlich braucht man bei der Lage ein Mietfahrzeug. Zum Empfang durch die sehr engagierte Vermieterin Maria (spricht Englisch und Spanisch) gab es Wein, Limonaden, Kuchen, Kekse, Früchte und mehr. Bei Problemen war sie schnell vor Ort, wohnt gleich um die Ecke. Das Haus verfügt über 2 Badezimmer, 3 Schlafräume, von denen einer etwas düster ist, der obere allerdings der "Knaller": mit Blick auf das Tal und das Meer. Bei gelegentlich kühlen Temperaturen war auch die Klimaanlage/Heizung sehr willkommen. Die Küche war vollständig ausgestattet, u.a. mit Geschirrspüler, Waschmaschine und Trockner. Die Terrasse ist mit Grill, Gartenmöbeln, Liegen, Sonnenschirm und neuerdings einem Jacuzzi ausgestattet, den wir ausgiebig genutzt haben. Insgesamt, auch hinsichtlich des Preises sehr zu empfehlen, jedenfalls für 2-4 Personen.

Clean and comfortable spot with a beautiful view

I have absolutely no complaints. This is a lovely place with kind hosts. Great value, lovely helpful accommodating hosts, very clean, and no traffic noise. The complimentary Portuguese treats were delightful too. The only noise was occasional barking and mooing. I loved staying here with my sibling and parent. I was sad to leave. There is a big master bedroom on the main floor, with a bathroom and large sliding doors that open onto the huge patio with hot tub. Really comfortable place with working internet. A few groceries and many household/kitchen tools at Bar do Russo (owned by host) less than a block away, and main grocery stores are a short drive away. Very steep hills and narrow streets but a respectful and cautious driving culture. Thank you for having us in your magical town!

Einfach klasse!

Suuuuuper tolle Gastgeber, die uns auch während des Aufenthaltes weiter verwöhnt haben (ohne die Hand aufzuhalten). Das Motto vom Gastgeber: Du sollst Urlaub machen und genießen! Wir hatte. Im Novemner ab 9 Uhr morgens Sonne und dann bis zum Sonnenkntergang. Gegen 11 kamen mal ein paar Wolken. Im Schnitt hatten wir tagsüber ca 20 Grad Celsius - an der Küste direkt sind es 4-5 Grad wärmer. Es war einfach nur „spitze!“ Immer wieder.

Prima appartement

Goed verzorgd appartement in een landelijke omgeving. Zalig rustig en met prachtig uitzicht over de zee. Goed uitgangspunt voor de meest mooie wandelingen en dicht bij de zee om daarna een lekkere verfrissende duik te nemen. Een autootje heb je wel nodig. Je wordt gastvrij ontvangen en de gastvrouw is zeer goed bereikbaar. Prima vakantie gehad.
