Calheta is located in the southwestern part of the island, which has the best weather conditions in Madeira.
A few kilometres away there are stunning cliffs, mountains and Laurissilva forest for nature lovers and hikers.
Nearby you can enjoy many outdoor activities such as hiking, paragliding, mountain biking, surfing, fishing and other nautical activities.
A small grocery shop and cafes are available within walking distance. Larger supermarkets and restaurants are available within few minutes’ drive.
The property has easy access to the major roads.

REMARKS
There is a small construction site to build houses on the land adjacent to the accommodation, which may cause noise and disturbance during the day on weekdays. If the purpose of the trip is to hike in the mountains and other activities, you will not be affected by the construction works. If you intend to stay mostly on the property, periods of disturbance may occur, although the noisiest phases of the work have already been completed.
We are available to provide support during your stay, to recommend places and activities you may like and to find solutions for your needs. We can recommend activities to discover the island off the usual tourist circuits.
A car is recommended, but there are bus stops nearby. You can install the smartphone app Rodoeste to see the bus lines and timetable.
Free car park is available in the property.
The garden, swimming pool, barbeque and parking are exclusive for the guests but are common for the three houses.
Swimming pool is not heated but is open all the year and can be used if the weather is favourable.
Cleaning is done before guests check in and then there is a weekly maintenance cleaning, which includes the change of bed linen and towels. To increase the frequency, an additional cleaning service must be requested.
As it is a rural area, there are insects in the surroundings that can be attracted by food scraps.
The accommodation is officially registered, meets the requirements to ensure safety and comfort, and has a complaints book controlled by the competent authorities.
