Feel part of the beautiful coast, sea and quiet countryside in this unique and charming design villa facing south, air-conditioned with infinity heated pool, near the village of the south coast of Prazeres and 6 km from the sea.

Surrounded by a peaceful landscape with panoramic views of the coast and the ocean, it is a very private villa and only 6 km from the sea, this beautiful, recent, contemporary villa, with air conditioning, heated pool and barbecue area, has all conditions and everything for a great vacation.
Built from an old stone barn, it was designed and decorated, inside and out, personally by the young couple of architects who own the house. It is an open house full of natural light. The living room and kitchen is an especially nice sitting area with large sliding glass windows that open onto the solarium and pool, and makes it have a direct relationship with the exterior and surroundings.
You will love the dining experience on the outdoor terrace or swim in the infinity pool while enjoying these wonderful views.

The open space of the living and dining area, blends contemporary and 50's furniture, and offers seating for 6 people on two leather sofas and a dining table for 6.
Large glass windows can be opened to bring the outside, widening the opening with the south facing terrace to the deck and pool solarium.

The kitchen is also part of the open space and is fully equipped with crockery and utensils, with 4 rings cooker, built-in electric oven and microwave, combined refrigerator, dishwasher, coffee maker, electric kettle, toaster and magic wand.

There is an additional social bathroom and utility room with washing machine.

The three bedrooms are double and have a private bathroom.
One bedroom is located on the ground floor. The other two on the first floor, and share a large balcony facing south.

This villa has a terrace area and outdoor barbecue table and chairs, leading to the herb garden and lawn, which surrounds the infinity pool and solarium.

During the season, guests are free to pick fruit from two fig trees that give the house its name. The owners have also planted a herb garden that guests can use for tea infusions or cooking.

A bread van passes through the villa daily in the morning, and guests can purchase fresh bread and pastries or make a daily order - perfect for panoramic breakfasts.

There is a beautiful marina and a good choice of bars and restaurants, a handful of small shops, a supermarket with everything you could need, a bank and pharmacy.

Calheta is famous for producing the best white rum 'Aguardente de Cana de açucar', a special ingredient of the typical Madeiran drink 'Poncha'. If you are interested in how white rum is made, we recommend a tour of the 'Engenho da Calheta' to the rum distillery where you can walk around and taste the products.

Arts Center "Casa da Mudas" is situated on the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea and was built to welcome excellent art exhibitions, musical performances and other events.

Simply lovely
Beautiful, thoughtful sand simple design make this an effortlessly relaxing space to enjoy. The care and attention to detail in design just worked for us from the minute we arrived. A couple of issues were dealt with by the delightful owner , who also shared beautiful produce from their own garden nextdoor. The whole family were totally charming, really genuinely caring for our stay to be the best it could. The listing had not shown the new house very recently built nextdoor but it is beautifully dedigned( again!), oriented away from this property and was not a problem In the slightest. A fantastic spot for exploring levadas or mountain trails , though be prepared to walk up some steepish hills before you start, just treat it as part of the adventure. Prazeres is a great little village community and access to the north and west of the island couldn’t be better. Really really longing to return, there is nowhere else on this island that I would rather be.

A quiet place perfectly located
Vanda and Hugo are great hosts. They are there, if you need them and if not, you do not recognize them. The place is perfectly located for hiking or swimming. Everything is nearby. The house has a stunning view over the Atlantic Ocean. The house has a fully equipped kitchen and a Madeira style grill place. The rooms a nice with air condition. There is a big terrace on the first floor and a terrace on the ground floor with a very nice garden. Last but not least an infinity pool an the lower terrace to cool down with outdoor shower. Overall, it is a great place, if you like it quiet. We had a great stay and it was the perfect base for our day trips.

House with a beautiful view
The location and the view of the house are very exciting and especially. What we have to complain about is the cleaning of the pool. After 9 days the water of the pool was completely green. In our opinion, the water quality of the pool should be checked every few days and the pool cleaned accordingly, so that this does not happen. But the cleanliness of the house itself was okay. Some maintenance in the house are due, e. g. the board under the dishwasher kept falling off, the fuse of the lights in the living room aren't stable and at the additional extra bed for kids two slats were broken. Also - one small thing - a vacuum cleaner would be great. And the check-out process wasn't very clear to us either. Nevertheless we had a really great time in the house and we're grateful that we could do this journey to the beautiful Madeira island in this pandemic time.

Fantasische, ruhige Lage mit mega Ausblick
Das Haus liegt sehr ruhig, mit fantastischen Blick auf den Atlantik und die Berge. Die Ausstattung ist komfortable und sehr gepflegt. Auch die Betreungdurch den Vermieter bzw. Hausverwaltung ist hervorragend. Wenn man Ruhe und Erholung sucht ist man hier genau richtig. Trotzdem findet man alle Annehmlichkeiten in der Nähe wie Restaurants oder kleine Supermärkte.
