Cottage vacation rentals in Arco da Calheta

We had a wonderful time at Emanuels place. He was a wonderful host, very helpful with recommendations and showing how everything worked. The view from his place is incredible. We spent almost every evening on the terrace, enjoying the view of the ocean and Ribeira Brava. What a wonderful place! Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

We loved staying here in São Vicente. tYhis was our home base for a week while we explored the island. Vanada recommended our favorite restaurant from the whole week- Lavarador. We enjoyed all of the amenities and felt like we got the true Madeira experience!

We loved our stay, the location and the view are stunning. We used the hot tub a few times, lovely stuff. Place has an aircon unit and electric dehumidifier, so there is no dampness inside. The driveway is quite steep and twisty so small car is best.

A nice and cosy countryhouse, detailed video instructions.

This home is perfect for active travelers looking for a private get away. It's far enough away from the hustle and bustle while still giving you access to quality food and outdoor adventures. We loved having the Jacuzzi after our long hikes. We found the car rental very convenient. If you have mobility issues this may not be the location for you as there are stairs to access the property.

Team at Casas de Pedro makes every effort for comfort of their guests. Self Catering breakfast provided daily fresh bread, fruits cheese, and deli meats. Very delicious. Architecture of cottage was beautiful of restored original construction and complimentary style addition. Camelia is a wonderful, restful and rehabilitating escape for a couple.

The house is fantastically located with lots of greenery and direct views over the sea. It is very quiet and fully equipped. There's nothing missing. You should be a somewhat experienced driver and definitely rent a car with some ground clearance, with a strong motor, but not too big. The roads in the village and to the house are good, but very narrow and extremely steep. Carlos and Mauricio are perfect hosts and left us fruit, cakes, bread and Madeira wine. They were always available if there were any questions. Not to forget, of course, the friendly cat who was always around the house. We would book the house again anytime.

+ Very friendly welcome and briefing lots of local greetings many route suggestions in folder well-equipped house with great terrace and view very well equiped kitchen very comfortable bed plenty of laundry and bathroom utensils Poncha Bar nearby - Moisture in the living room and bedroom on the walls due to rain

The accommodation is impeccable, quiet in an exotic environment. Ideal with children, the services are nearby (restaurant, supermarket). The views are beautiful and the owner is responsive. Perfect for visiting Madeira!

A Dream Come True in Porto Moniz! Staying at the Monte Chalet was an absolute dream! From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by the charm and serenity of this beautiful rural retreat. The chalet is nestled in a magical location surrounded by breathtaking nature, making it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The house itself was everything we could have wished for – cozy, clean, and thoughtfully designed with traditional touches that made it feel truly special. The three bedrooms were comfortable, and the living and dining areas were perfect for spending quality time together. The fully equipped kitchen and the indoor barbecue area were fantastic for preparing meals, and the outdoor leisure space was ideal for relaxing while enjoying the fresh mountain air. Its proximity to the natural pools of Porto Moniz (just 2 km away!) and the Bride's Veil Viewpoint made exploring the stunning surroundings effortless. Porto Moniz is truly a magical place !!!!

A lovely home that is very fully furnished. You can easily walk here without a car. We were here for 3 weeks and the first two weeks, we had a great time in this area. You can take beautiful walks. You can get on the bus at the corner of the street to Santana and Funchal. The last week we rented a car so we could also visit the other parts of the island. But we believe this is the most beautiful part of the island. There is a levada walk within walking distance. Luz van a House on Madeira is friendly and very accessible. She responded very quickly and adequately to our messages. Madeira stole our heart! And this place really felt like home to us. So we can definitely recommend this place. If you take a bus to Machicio from the plane, you can take the bus there and you can get off behind the cottage. When you are here, you should definitely walk to the local bakery!

The accomodation was nice, soooo quiet and peaceful. Only the bird chirping we can hear during our stay. the view from the covered terace was amazing. it was easy to reach the house by car. We really enjoyed our stay in this cottage.

Great location, very peaceful and relaxing. Silvia was very organised and helpful. Most comfortable bed ever. Had a great stay.

Really lovely stay! Very peaceful and out of the way but not far to drive to busier destinations! Had everything we needed . it’s an amazing location and bnb!

Villa Papaya is simply one of the nicest airBNB locations we've ever stayed in, of many. The space is elegant and the view is unforgettable. Sofia and Jose Alexandre were excellent hosts, generous in welcoming us, and always quick to respond when we had a question about the place or the area. We were glad we stayed outside of Funchal, and found Calheta to be accessible to most areas of the island in under an hour. We've only been home a few days and are already talking about going back to Villa Papaya with our kids!

Stay in a fabulous environment, you don't get tired of the view from the terraces which is magnificent. Nelson, our host is very welcoming, friendly and responsive. We had a great time in this city that we would recommend without reservation!

José is a super likeable host and takes the time to talk to his guests and give good tips. His house overlooking the sea is super nice, very spacious and also very tastefully decorated. We really enjoyed our stay at this place. José, we'll be happy to come back.

I can honestly recommend this host. The photos in the ad are real. Once there, we found a fully equipped house where we could feel at home. Fully equipped kitchen, bathrooms, laundry room - everything you need to get settled. We have a closed parking lot outside, so you can park your car/motorcycle safely. I sincerely recommend it.

A really fantastically beautiful place to stay with ocean views! Resting on one of the private terraces after strenuous hikes was a highlight of our vacation! We would come back any time and can fully recommend the accommodation of Andreas and Peter!

This is a beautiful historic home located outside the small town of Camacha, about 15 minutes from Funchal by car. Well set back from the road and area is quiet at night, mild road noise during the day if the windows are open. The home is just as described and pictured in the photos with one exception - the paint is mildewed and peeling off in a small section of the bathroom ceiling. The house was very clean and and during our 2 week stay, we also received one housekeeping visit/linen change with no extra charge. We had no need for A/C, and the radiators kept the house toasty at night. There were dehumidifers in the house but we found it dry and comfortable. There was plenty of hot water and excellent water pressure. No rodent/insect issues. A sweet small dog resides on the property. There is a lovely levada walk in the back of grounds as well. Host responded promptly to all questions. Shopping center with supermarket, laundromat 5 minutes drive. Appliances worked well. We enjoyed it

We really enjoyed our stay in Aurelio & Sietske's cozy house! The area is beautiful for beautiful walks and excursions, which is easy to do both on foot and by bus. In addition, there are all kinds of nice restaurants and terraces within walking distance. Furthermore, the house has everything you need and Aurelio & Sietske were very helpful. Thank you!
