About this property

2 Bedroom Rural Cottage in sunny Calheta with shared pool, WIFI, BBQ, Sea View

The MASSAPIEZ COTTAGES are two typical Madeiran stone cottages converted from older structures. They are located on a cliff overlooking the beautiful Atlantic Ocean in sunny Calheta.

The two cottages are lovingly renovated structures both comprising of two floors each. One of the cottages has two bedrooms (or more correctly one-and-a-half bedrooms as the one bedroom is also the access to the bottom of the house). The smaller cottage is a one bedroom cottage. On the bottom of both cottages a cozy comfortable living room area with its own kitchenette and a shower bathroom are available. To get to the bedrooms in both cottages you climb up a short flight of steps to the top floors.

This two-bedroomed Cottage comprises of two floors. On the top floor it has two bedrooms (or more correctly one-and-a-half bedrooms as the one bedroom is also the access to the bottom of the house). On the bottom floor there is a cozy comfortable living room area with its own kitchenette and a shower bathroom are available. To get to the bedrooms in the Cottage you climb up a short flight of steps to the top floor. It is also possible to accommodate another two guests in the large sofa-bed in the lounge area.

There are excellent barbecue facilities at the Cottage with a large terrace area too. There is also ample garden space with awesome sea views.

There is even an inside stone oven to bake real home made bread - just like the traditional Madeiran way.

There is also a brand new swimming pool available on the property for guests from both Cottages to use. (The pool is shared by the guests of both the one-bedroomed and two-bedroomed Cottage)

The two cottages are perched on a cliff in an area called “Loreto” in the municipality of Calheta. It lies just after the spectacular amphitheatre village area of Arco da Calheta and just before the quaint villa of central Calheta itself.

To take in the best that Madeira has to offer and to enjoy the many facilities it offers we recommend strongly that you hire a car. Facilities such as a supermarkets, restaurants, chemist, views and starting points for levada walks are perhaps a little too far away to be had by foot.

Having said that, there is a lot of niches, paths or “veredas” through terraced cultivated plots of land all around the cottage to enjoy long healthy sojourns by foot without a car though - but these are mostly privately owned properties. The climb to the top of the mountain can be done in one or two hours and to walk down to the beach it may take another hour or two too. But by car it is barely three minutes away.

Typical and traditional mini-markets, snack-bars and bars are also in the vicinity. It is a quiet location. Driving instructions, and how to get there is provided for upon confirmation of reservations.

The greatest feature of the area in which the cottage is located is the beautiful greenery, grape vines, banana plantations, and the awesome blue sea beyond.

The cottages are in a veritable “sun-trap” and enjoy warm sun the whole day. The weather is also one of the best you can find on the island on this location.

NOTE: It is not recommended to stay here without a car. Unfortunately, there is no Uber or Bolt in the area. Using a taxi service will be relatively expensive. Also, many taxi drivers will take advantage of its remote location to "get lost" finding it....

Wirklich authentisch

Unser Aufenthalt betrug 3 Wochen, in denen wir uns gut erholten. Das alte Natursten-Haus ist sorgfältig restauriert. Im Sanitärbereich ist es auch modern und komfortabel angepasst. Der Garten mit Pool ist attraktiv und bietet einen wunderbaren Blick über den Atlantik. Die Photovoltaikanlage über dem kleinen Parkplatz ist lobenswert. Leider dauert es unglaublich lange bis warmes Wasser fließt. Das bedeutet entweder große Wasserverschwendung oder kühl duschen. Die gute Idee des Parkplatzes scheitert im jetzigen Zustand an verschiedenen Fakten: Die Straße ist so eng, das nur ein KLEINSTWAGEN hindurchpasst. Die Stützpfeiler des Daches verhindern das Einparken. Das Ganze ist baulich äußerst schwierig zu gestalten und noch schwieriger für den Gast zu nutzen. Wir waren aufgrund einiger Kommentare schon vorbereitet, allerdings übertraf die Realität unsere Erwartungen auf das Abenteuerlichste. Mit Toyota Aygo kamen wir ohne Schrammen die steile enge Gasse hinab. Diese Fahrt wollten wir allerdings nie mehr wiederholen! In der Straße unterhalb des Geländes neben der Bar fanden wir immer einen Platz. Eine steile Treppe durch Bananengärten war unsere tägliche Herausforderung und gut zu bewältigen. Auch unsere Nachbarn entschieden sich so.. Die Situation kann man mit Humor meistern, jedoch sollte im Vorfeld sehr deutlich darauf hingewiesen werden.

bijzonder leuke authentieke vakantiewoning

Mooie vakantiewoning met prachtig zwembad en mooi uitzicht. Het zwembad deel je wel met een andere vakantiewoning maar dat is prima. Meer dan voldoende ligbedden. De weg naar de locatie is wel spannend. Een echte Madeira Road. Het huis is groot genoeg en voorzien met alles wat je nodig hebt. Leuke authentieke details.

Super mooi uitzicht + zwembad

Toen wij aankwamen moesten we goed kijken naar de locatie, pittige route. Zeker een auto huren met een goede motor en remmen. we werden door de huiskeeper geholpen die niet goed engels sprak maar wel erg vriendelijk! Bepaalde dingen zijn niet voorzien, 1 handoek per gast, sommige keukenswaren niet, alle pannen waren beschadigd, geen kussens of luchtbedjes voor het zwembad. Wanneer je een zachte slaper bent dan moet je niet uitgaan van een zachte nachtrust, wij hebben oke geslapen!! Veel ongedierte in het huisje, inrichting van het huisje was wel erg sfeervol, je rook dat het wel oud was. ( De oude vibes) Veder moderne badkamer, schoon zwembad en rust!

Sitio agradable

El sitio es agradable. Se necesita pericia para llegar al alojamiento y conducir por las carreteras. Tuvimos que pedir limpiar la piscina. Se paga más de lo que merece la pena.
