We were let down by another host on the island, and luckily found this villa. An excellent location for exploring the island, the villa is lovely, lots of space, very clean and first class facilities. Easy and helpful communication with the host. We had a lovely week. Thank you.

Breathtaking views and extremely responsive host
This house is a real find. The view from the house is one of the most beautiful we have ever seen. Minutes away from tons of restaurants. 40 mins from Funchal. In our opinion, this end of the island is far more beautiful and far less crowded. House was well appointed and extremely clean.

TRAUMHAFT schöne Villa in sonniger,ruhiger Lage
Könnte man mehr als 5 Sterne vergeben , so würden wir das tun. Die traumhafte Villa in absolut sonniger Lage lässt keine Wünsche offen. Alles ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet und unglaublich sauber, Der Kontakt zum Vermieter ist hervorragend , wir haben viele tipps erhalten und einen unkomplizierten check in and out genossen. Wir werden den wunderbaren Ausblick auf den Atlantik sehr vermissen und werden definitiv wiederkommen zu diesem perfekten Ort zum verweilen,

Magnificent vacation
We stayed in this magnificent villa for 10 days in July. Everything was just as we were hoping for, the villa in perfect condition and the view astonishing. The cooperation with the Lira’s family was extremely good and we felt taken care of already from the beginning. We enjoyed every minute of our vacation and highly recommend it!

Villa Panorama einfach traumhaft!
Wie werden wir diese Aussicht vermissen. Wenn man es morgens nicht abwarten kann, dass die Sonne aufgeht und endlich den Blick frei gibt auf den Atlantik. Grenzenlose Weite, ein Farbenspiel aus unterschiedlichen Blautönen, das glitzern der Sonne auf dem Meer, die grünen Bananen Plantage auf dem dem Hang von Arco de Caletha und die orangen Dächer der Häuser, die aus den Plantagen hervorstechen. Es ist nicht kitschig und auch kein Traum, es ist Realität. Wenn du dann Abends im Whirlpool sitzt und wie aus einem Flugzeug die beleuchteten Hänge von Arco de Caletha siehst, wirst du dankbar für die Möglichkeit eine Weile in dieser tollen Villa gewohnt zu haben. Hier hat einfach alles gestimmt. Danke an Rui das du uns stets mit Rat und Tat zur Seite gestanden hast. Für den Tipp mit der Gelateria in Caletha, die Pizza und das Eis waren super lecker. Wenn wir die Gelegenheit haben, kommen wir gerne nochmal wieder in diese tolle Villa.

Villa Panorama, Arco da Calheta, Maderia
Villa Panorama photos and detail within the VRBO app highlights the quality which you are purchasing. Would highlight that in real life those pictures are quickly dismissed to the true quality of both the villa and the view alike. Arco da Calheta is the perfect place to stay and would recommend this area over others like Funchal but certainly worth a visit for a day but great to get back to Villa. The Villa has everything (and more) that you need and is the perfect base, indeed our group highlighted that you could just stay at the villa and prepare your meals for family and take a laid back approach to your holiday. We choose to use fully the local restaurants across the area, there is many to choose from and range of both quality and price which would suit all. Would suggest that you choose local taxi's to get around, the roads are very steep and you need your wits about you regards thinking about driving yourself around in this area. We found a taxi driver who literally became part of the group, he generally lifted and laid us to all our destinations and indeed took time to show us some spots which only locals would know about. You must budget for this to enjoy your stay, you can walk but this is not for the faint hearted and certainly tests your fitness. Overall the villa and location beautiful, would definitely book again and recommend anyone to enjoy Arco da Calheta from Villa Panorama.

5 stars all the way
Villa Panorama is a modern and airy property in Arco da Calheta. It has the most spectacular views, a lovely infinity pool, and the house is equipped with everything you will need for your stay. The check-in was super easy, and the host very communicative on Whatsapp. Away from the house, Calheta harbour is 5 minutes away (by car) and there are a number of really good restaurants and attractions (e.g., dolphin watching, fishing, etc). I honestly cannot think of anything negative during our 8-day stay so - as the title of this review makes clear - it is 5 stars from me!

Fantastische villa!
Villa Panorama beviel ons nog beter dan op de website beschreven. Zeer ruim opgezet en voorzien van alle gemakken. De villa ligt op bijna 300mtr hoogte en "kleeft" letterlijk tegen de bergwand. Daardoor heb je een fantastisch uitzicht over het dal en over de oceaan. Het contact met de verhuurder was buitengewoon goed. I.v.m. Corona kregen wij uitgebreide instructies en informatie via de WhatsApp. Het was ons eerste bezoek aan Madeira, maar wij hebben nu al plannen om in 2023 2 weken te gaan en zullen zeker deze villa weer reserveren.

Wonderful month at this wonderful villa
My husband and I spent a glorious month at the villa. We had the best time. The villa was in the perfect location and the views were amazing. Our daughter and her family joined us for a week and they loved it as well. Rui was very pleasant, helpful and responsive to any questions we had. We could not have asked for anyplace better. We highly recommend a stay at the villa.

FANTASTIC !!!!
We spent only ten days at the villa and we wish we could have stayed more. Everything is just amazing. From the views and the comfort of the villa to the facilities and communications with villa manager. Weather was fine, food was great and the fine red Portuguese wine made the stay even more enjoyable. We are planning to come back next year for two weeks. Make an effort and travel to Madeira and be amazed by this villa. You are not going to be disappointed!!! Thank you

Toller Urlaub in traumhafter Villa
Die Ferienvilla ist supertoll und mit traumhaftem Blick. Die Ausstattung ist luxeriös und für ein Ferienobjekt überdurchschnittlich. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter war sehr herzlich und auf alle Fragen wurden sofort reagiert. Leider war eine Woche viel zu kurz, aber wir waren sehr dankbar in der Corona-Zeit überhaupt reisen können. Die Organisation auf Madeira war toll und wir haben uns zu jederzeit sicher gefühlt, da such alle an die notwendigen Hygieneregeln gehalten haben. Man fühlte sich keineswegs eingeschränkt, sondern wohl. Es war eine tolle Woche und wir werden sehr gerne wieder auf der wunderschönen Insel und in dem tollen Haus Urlaub machen.

Erholung pur im traumhaften Feriendomizil
Wir waren 16 Tage in diesem wunderschönen Haus. Die Wirklichkeit ist noch schöner als die Bilder. Wir haben uns rundherum wohlgefühlt. Die Lage, der Blick auf Meer und Berge sind traumhaft. Die Betreuung vor Ort mit Begrüßungsgeschenk, Zwischenreinigung und Hilfsbereitschaft (unsere Tochter hat uns mit dem Enkel zwischendurch für 4 Tage besucht) ist vorbildlich und ausgesprochen freundlich. Dafür noch einmal ganz herzlichen Dank. Das Haus ist mit allem Komfort (sogar Bademäntel und Badeschlappen) komplett ausgestattet, sehr gut durchdacht und auch von der Architektur aussergewöhnlich für ein Ferienhaus. Die Terrasse ist nahezu nicht einsehbar, der Pool ein Traum und wir haben uns auch immer sehr sicher gefühlt. Natürlich ist ein Leihwagen ein Muss, aber die Pizzeria im Ort haben wir über die Levada-Wege innerhalb von 20 Minuten erreicht. Ein absolut empfehlenswerter Spaziergang! Das Haus ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet, sogar frische Blumen schmücken das Ambiente, sehr sauber, absolut empfehlenswert. Vielen Dank für einen traumhaften Urlaub, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und bestens erholt. Liebe Grüße Gabi und Christoph
