About this property
Pool villa in a quiet prime location, optional pool heating.
In a quiet location in the sunniest part of the island in the romantic village of Estreito da Calheta only 40 minutes from Funchal, Villa 17 ° West with an 8x4 m infinity salt water pool (with environmentally friendly solar cones and solar shower) is slightly elevated on a small hill embedded in a vineyard.
The location of the house is unique. You enjoy the character of the village with its festivals and are only a few minutes by car to the beach.
In Madeira you can experience wonderful temperatures in almost every season and especially in Calheta the climate is particularly suitable for fauna and flora. Everything blooms and sprouts in lavish abundance. Madeira offers very pleasant temperatures in every season.
Open the large panoramic windows and connect the living room with the large terrace and the adjacent pool and palm garden. They overlook the neighborhood wine quinta and the old village church and listen to the 'Sound of Calheta'.
Behind the house you can watch the mountains and the changing clouds or marvel at a rainbow directly over the seemingly endless Atlantic Ocean. At night you can see the fishermen at sea from the bed and now and then pass an illuminated cruise ship towards America.
The free-standing 200 square meter non-smoking architect Villa 17 ° West with its 3 beautiful bedrooms with sea views from all balconies is equipped with every comfort for a relaxing holiday. All rooms have tasteful wooden cupboards with plenty of storage space.
The open living room is furnished in natural-colored wooden furniture and cozy leather sofas as well as a large 42 inch LCD TV. You have a large professional telescope for sea or star observation at your disposal. A DVD player is available as well as other high quality small binoculars.
With the help of the satellite system and the LCD TV you can receive all your favorite programs.
All three bathrooms are decorated in light sand tones. The ensuite bathroom has a toilet and a shower. A bathroom contains a bathtub with a shower function as well as a double sink, toilet and bidet. On the ground floor there is a bathroom with a toilet, sink and shower.
Whether you would like to relax with a book at the skin-friendly brine pool in comfortable sun loungers or prefer to drive 5 minutes by car to the sandy beach in Calheta. All options are open to you. A detour to Funchal is only a stone's throw away and after the hustle and bustle of the big city you can enjoy the Calheta evening again.
In Calheta in the large supermarket on the beach, you get wonderful fresh fish that you can prepare in the well-equipped kitchen. The kitchen has all modern household appliances and is connected to the living room in the open living area. Hear the fireplace crackle as you eat in winter. Heaters are uncommon in Madeira. Wood is available to you.
In Calheta you can take part in very interesting village festivals and follow the Easter procession with the large carpets of flowers. All surrounding villages such as Jardim do Mar and Prazeres can be reached quickly.
Culture in Calheta: 'Casa das Mudas' In Calheta just before the beach, there is a very modern and worth seeing museum that 'Casa das Mudas' is located on a cliff. The changing exhibitions of the museum are worth a visit. The view of the beach and the marina is fantastic. There are some good restaurants in the museum area and on the beach.
Swimming: Calheta Beach has a fine sandy beach and invites you to swim and snorkel.
Diving: Diving courses can be booked at the Calheta Hotel on the beach.
Paragliding: In Arco da Calheta there is the possibility of paragliding.
Piscinas Naturais in Porto Moniz: You can reach the wonderful natural swimming pools in the rocks by z. B. start in Calheta and drive over Prazeres towards Porto Moniz over the mountain.
Whale and dolphin watching: Maybe contact the competent team of Lobosonda in the marina and book a tour with the TV-known restored fishing boat 'Ribeira Brava' and his competent team.
Golf: In Funchal, just 25 km away, you can play on two golf courses or take a trip to Porto Santo by ferry from Funchal and play golf there.
Fishing and big game fishing: Perhaps you are also interested in a fishing trip with the famous big game fishermen in the harbor?
Levadawanderungen: Many interesting levada tours start in the west of the island and a wonderful tour starts not far from the villa and leads to the picturesque village of Prazeres. You pass the well-known levadas and pass hydrangea hedges and the globular agaphantus flowers. In Prazeres it is worth stopping at the Quinta Pädagogica. Have a typical gala dinner and try the cake or homemade bread.
Massage: In the village of Estrella da Calheta there is a beauty salon opposite the petrol station. There you can pamper yourself for very moderate prices and also book massages.

Thank you for your nice comment , yes Calheta is great with the nice Levadas , supermarket in Calheta Beach supermarket Pingo Doce . Nice Restaurants in the Calheta Marina .
Our first visit to this gorgeous island. The villa was well equipped, very clean and had amazing views. Jorge and his family were very helpful and friendly. There are a couple of restaurants and a small shop that are walkable but everything else is a drive away so would recommend a hire car as essential. We had an amazing holiday and would love to return someday.

Comfortable, spacious and clean house for two couples to enjoy time together. A few local bars, a restaurant and some shops in walking distance. Owner and caretaker were very responsive and quick to fix a few small matters.

Dear American guests it was a pleasure meeting you in the villa I hope you all could enjoy the beautiful island. Would be great seeing you again in Madeira
Yours Jessica and the team
This is a very impressive property with fantastic views of the surrounding hills and out to the ocean. The house itself is immaculately clean and superbly equipped for a very comfortable stay, including the wonderful infinity pool. You will need a car, as it is set in the peaceful hills above Calheta, but everything you need is easily accessible and it's a great base for a relaxing holiday.

Dear Malcolm,
thank you very much for your review. I guess you had a nice and relaxing family time. The weather was as well perfect with around 24 to 26 degrees in November! We hope to see you and your family soon again in lovely Calheta.
All the best regards from Jessica and the 17°West Team
Dear Camelia thanks for visit ,as described in the advertisement we are not offer a heated pool. In these times of great energy crises, heated swimming pools are no longer appropriate. I was very pleased to have met you and your family. I very much hope that you were able to explore the beautiful island best regards Jessica
The views from this lovely property are staggering! Straight ahead from the main bedroom balcony or the patio or from the infinity pool you look down onto the sea and coastline in the distance. To the left and slightly behind are stunning views of the hills & mountains. The villa itself is very spacious and well maintained and the swimmong pool is a delight.

Lovely home in Calheta Madeira! The house was very spacious with a lovely view, great deck space and an amazing pool. The fireplace was great on the cooler nights. The host Jessica was very quick to respond and very helpful. The house is on a quiet street and within walking distance of several restaurants and two markets. It made for a great vacation location and I hope we will be back again some day!

Dear lovely guests from Canada we hope to see you again with a bit more time so much more to discover all the best Jessica and the team
Best holiday villa we have ever stayed in! The villa was so spacious, well equipped, clean and comfortable. The view from the villa’s infinity swimming pool was truly stunning! We received a very warm welcome from Jorge on our arrival to the villa. Jorge was extremely helpful and gave us excellent recommendations for nearby restaurants and places of interest to visit on the beautiful island of Madeira. The villa is only a 5 minute drive from Calheta beach and marina. We were spoiled for choice! Thank you for a wonderful holiday

Thank you so much we are thankful that you like our Villa hope to see you again. Jessica and the team
We had a wonderful stay at this amazing villa. The villa was equipped with everything we needed and was lovely and spacious. The beds were comfortable and we appreciated the thick curtains to stop children waking too early. The children particularly loved the pool and we enjoyed being able to relax on the loungers and outdoor seating whilst they were splashing about. The views from the master bedroom balcony were lovely and we spent every evening up there after the children had gone to bed watching the ever changing sky - blissful! We enjoyed being able to get down quickly to Calheta to go to the beach and the easy accessibility to everywhere on the island that we wanted to visit. The local shop is also very handy and has pretty much everything you could need. We also had a delicious evening meal at the local vineyard. Jorge was very responsive for anything we needed and gave us some excellent recommendations of places to eat and visit - the whale watching tour he recommended was an absolute highlight for all of us. Overall, a brilliant stay!
The villa completely lived up to our hopes and expectations! It was very well equipped and had plenty of space for 6 adults to relax, both inside and out around the pool. Easy, off road, parking for two cars. The housekeepers was always available to answer any questions, and to give suggestions for places to eat. We also made use of the telescope to enjoy the views of the night sky! It is also worth knowing there is a great little restaurant nearby ("Bago"), just 2 minutes walk. (It's rather well hidden, not even a sign outside because its part of the Quinta das Vinhas hotel, but it is open to people not staying at the hotel)
We loved our stay at 17 West. The views were stunning. We even saw whales out at sea through the binoculars one day. You have to have a car to stay here, but we would highly recommend having a car to properly explore the island.
We used the local supermarket and shop and the larger supermarket in Calheta to do a bigger shop. The kitchen had everything we needed and we used the bbq in the garden one night. The bottle of wine and crisps and juice was a nice touch when we arrived too.
The villa was very clean and comfortable. The bedrooms are large and all have lovely views and balconies. The beds are huge and comfortable. We did use the aircon in the rooms only when we went to bed as it was quite humid overnight and also to keep it quieter with the local cockerels in the morning. So we all slept very well.
We also really enjoyed the pool. It isn’t heated but being summer it was a lovely refreshing temperature.
Jorge who was the local villa manager was very friendly and helpful and answered any questions quickly. He also helped to tell us where to go when our daughter got an ear infection and we needed to see a doctor.
We loved the island and would love to visit again one day.

Dear Guests thank you for your stay with us we hope to see you again in lovely Calheta
We cannot say enough about our experience and the property. Trust the reviews and make this your vacation home-base. Jessica was a pleasure to communicate with - answering all questions in a timely manner and even making recommendations for our initial stay in Funchal. She even popped in to introduce herself and make sure we were settled, which was a thoughtful personal touch we greatly appreciated. The property manager Jorge was equally responsive and made our check in seamless; we were even able to check in earlier than planned and Jorge’s son walked us through the property to ensure we had what we needed. A lovely welcome gift was an added touch and very much appreciated!
The listing was true to its word and there was plenty of space indoors and out. The location ended up being perfect, both for those lazy days of just enjoying the stunning views and the outdoor pool space, and central to travel the island and explore. The parking space was a huge bonus once we started to see the lack of space in other properties. Everything you need is either a short walk (a great glute workout given the elevation and steep roads… a welcome opportunity to burn off the wine!) or short drive to Calheta and local market.
We would absolutely return to this property and highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed 😊
