About this property
Village Calheta — Luxury Living with Views of Sea and Mountains
Village Calheta — Your Perfect Escape Awaits
Welcome to Village Calheta, where effortless luxury meets everyday comfort. From the moment you arrive, this beautifully appointed villa invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and savour every moment of your stay.
At the heart of the home lies a spacious, fully equipped kitchen — a dream for anyone who loves to cook, or simply to linger over a morning coffee at the charming breakfast table as the day begins. Just steps away, a dedicated laundry room with washing machine, tumble dryer and ironing facilities keeps things wonderfully practical, so you can focus on what really matters: relaxing.
Step outside and the magic continues. The purpose-built barbecue area sets the stage for unforgettable al fresco dining — long, laughter-filled evenings under the open sky, plates shared and glasses raised, all framed by breathtaking views out over the sparkling ocean. As day drifts into evening, prepare to be spellbound: the sunsets here are simply spectacular, painting the sky in glorious hues of gold, amber and rose as the sun melts into the horizon. Take a refreshing dip in the swimming pool, comfortably heated to a pleasant 22 degrees, so you can enjoy the water in comfort whatever the season. A convenient outdoor shower room with toilet means the pool and sunshine are never far from reach, while the more energetic among you can keep the routine going in the private gym, complete with treadmill, exercise bicycle and a triceps/biceps machine.
Upstairs, tranquillity reigns. Five generously sized, elegantly decorated bedrooms offer a restful retreat for everyone — four spacious doubles (two with en-suite bathrooms, one boasting an indulgent Jacuzzi) and a comfortable twin. Three of the bedrooms open onto wide, sun-drenched balconies with sweeping views over the shimmering heated swimming pool, the endless blue of the ocean, and the magnificent scenery beyond — the perfect spot to catch that unforgettable sunset each evening.
Stylish, comfortable and thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and adventure, Village Calheta promises a holiday that lives up to every expectation — and then some.
With the style and comfort of Village Calheta, and views that will stay with you long after you leave, you simply won't be disappointed.

We came to the island for a wedding and have a large extended family. This villa was perfect for all 12 of us and the kids in our group enjoyed the pool. There was enough room for everyone to be comfortable. Cute village that was walkable to get snacks or drinks.
Our stay in the villa was amazing. Everything exceeded our expectations. We would like to thank the host for making our family get together unforgettable event. We all would like to come back sooner then later.

After a slight delay and miscommunication with the house keeper, the house was faultless. The photos simply don’t do it justice..... the pool could have been a little warmer though!

Large comfortable house in the hills above Calheta
The house itself is very spacious and comfortable, with plenty of bathrooms and showers for everybody, and the pool and outdoor seating area are great.
Downsides is that the village of Arco de Calheta is very spread out and you need to drive to get to pretty much everything (there's a mini market and a local cafe a couple of streets up from the house, but Calheta restaurants and supermarket are a drive away).
Also if you're a light sleeper, take earplugs - there are plenty of dogs and roosters nearby.

Lovely Villa
We have just returned from a weeks stay at this beautiful villa. It is very well equipped and in a lovely location. Jose and Maria who look after the villa were lovely and very helpful. We hired a car which we picked up from the airport and Jose also met us at the airport and took the rest of my family to the villa as we could not all get into one car. He also took us to a large supermarket so we could stock up on some essentials. It was my birthday whilst I was in Madeira, we went to Reeds hotel for afternoon tea, it was a beautiful hotel and the food was lovely. In the evening we went to the savoy hotel which was a short car drive from the villa, lovely food and a lovely sunset, Jose took us to both locations and picked us up again. We spent some time in Funchal the capital of Madeira well worth a visit, especially the cable cars and the stunning gardens at the top, plenty to do and see. There is a lovely Italian restaurant a 5 minute drive from the villa, great food at good prices. There is one small supermarket within walking distance and another further on and a couple of local bars. We would recommend either hiring a car or asking Jose to take you to places his prices are very reasonable. We would certainly recommend this villa lovely pool and plenty of outside space with a BBQ and a pizza oven. We found Lilliana so helpful when booking just wished we had stayed longer.

We have spent 2 weeks in this very spacious villa.
The house is exactly as shown in the pictures. It is not brand new but very well maintained. The house is equipped with everything you need and more (especially the kitchen has literally everything you could think of). The view is beautiful and the pool really great. We enjoyed the BBQ area quite a lot. Adriana was really nice and very helpful and very quick to respond whenever we had a question or something. The service was really above our expectations. One time there was an issue with the pool which was solved by Adriana within two hours!!!
We would definitely come back!
Vista incrível, boa piscina, casa ampla e limpa, adoramos!

Thank you for review. Was a pleasure to have you in our house.
Das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet, was für einen Aufenthalt benötigt wird. Pool, BBQ und der Blick sind wunderbar.
Die nicht mehr ganz so scharfen Messer haben das Schneiden das eine oder andere Mal zur Herausforderung werden lassen ;-) Was aber das Urlaubserlebnis in keinster Weise geschmälert hat.
Das Haus können wir uneingeschränkt empfehlen.
Spacious, stunning views, comfortable, well equipped, friendly caretakers, great location are the best way to describe our stay of 8 adults. As indicated by others not the easiest to find but we did it the first time.

Wir haben uns in dem Haus sehr gut erholt. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig. Pool und BBQ sind fantastisch. Auch der Ausblick von der Terrasse und den Balkonen ist wunderschön.
Die Küche ist perfekt ausgestattet und auch die Inneneinrichtung lässt keine Wünsche offen.
Wir haben nur zwei kleine Anmerkungen: Eine Klimaanlage mit Verbindung nach außen gibt es nur in einem Schlafzimmer - wir haben sie während unseres Aufenthalts nicht zwingend gebraucht, aber wir hatten aufgrund der Beschreibung erwartet, dass eine solche Klimaanlage in allen Schlafzimmern installiert ist.
In dem Informationsfaltblatt des Hauses ist beschrieben, dass zum Beginn der 2. Woche eine Reinigung erfolgt und auch dass Freitags um 10:00 Uhr jemand zur Poolreinigung kommt - beides fand nicht statt.
Wir möchten aber ausdrücklich betonen, dass diese 2 Punkte unseren Urlaub in keiner Weise beeinträchtigt haben und wir bestimmt einmal wiederkommen.
We found the description of this villa and the location prior to visiting Madeira, it was as we expected. Easy to drive to from the airport on major roads, and we had booked our car for the 14 days. We would suggest any guests do the same if they want fresh 'British tasting' milk from the supermarket sold at Pingo Doche at the beach in Calheta. The villa is located up the hillside and there is ample of onstreet parking immediately outside. We walked to Arco Da Calheta village corner shops and Loreto which sell fresh bread and rolls and most other essential products, but only fowl tasting longlife milk!! - Lina's at the end of the road is a great find for shoes, clothes, kids toys, household goods, the equivalent of UK's Bargain Buys shops. The church was lovely too.
We used the pizza oven and BBQ which were great. Along with the garden and pool, which was short of pool toys but quickly rectified by Gorete during our stay. We didn't use the pool house. There was a great supply of pool towels, sun loungers and cushions, and a washing line.
We found the kitchen to be of a good size, with enough utensils and crockery for the 9 of us who stayed.
Open planned sitting room/hall/stairs/dinning area was very comfortable and we could all sit around the table of an evening to play games (Uno is provided!) along with completing the children's puzzles and challenging adult puzzle also provided.
Bedrooms upstairs, along with bathrooms and balconies are a lovely size with loads of light. Blackout blinds are provided on the 4 bedrooms to the rear of the property that face the sea views, as this is where the sun rises and sets.
We felt safe and secure in the house, and village at all times and thoroughly enjoyed our big family summer holiday with our 7 year old, 11 year old, 13 year old and couples.
Gorete is very friendly and welcoming, and responds extremely quickly to any contact you have with her.
The villa was centrally located on the Island for our visits by car to Calheta's beach and supermarket, Jardim du Mar's beautiful promenade, Porto Moniz's stunning lagoons, the volcanic caves at Sao Vincent, Funchal's CR7 Museum, Monte Palace Botanical Gardens, tut tuts, cable cars and shops, Santana's thatched houses, Santa Cruz's waterpark, and of course the airport.
Enjoyed our stay, villa very spacious with beautiful gardens & pool but was mislead by description of amenities ie, no sofa beds in any of bedrooms, 2 bedrooms having double beds & not king as described. No bicycles ,no pool table or table tennis facilities. Contacted the owner regarding the latter& was told these was extras & needed to be booked & paid for in advance but nothing is stated on the website regarding this . Also a bit of confusion regarding the address of the villa as no taxi driver could find it . Other than that we had a fantastic holiday & would visit madeira again.

Dear Lynn,
Thank you so much for your comment.
Just to help and support some clarifications. The sofa beds only are installed when is requested by the client. The house has 2 double beds with draw where accommodating 4 people, when the client bring or require accommodation for additional people we install the extra beds. To economise space we don’t leave the transportable beds in situ.
Some missing understood the house has 4 bedrooms with king beds and one room with two double beds with draws. Bicycles, boat, pool table must be ordered in advance. This is not included in the price. It is important that you travelling with the map we send to our clients to make sure the find the house. Always the client can call and we are available to support to find the location. Unfortunately we had some damage from your stay. Part of the linen bed and the kitchen utensil went to the bin with damage and was replaced. I am totally recommend you to have some caution in future vacancies.
Thank you so much for your stay. You and your family are always welcome.
Thank you

Unbelievable Villa, blown away by how nice and spacious it is inside.
Went with family of 12.
6 of them children. Lots of space, nice size pool. If there had to be a down side it would pool not heated but children still enjoyed it. (We did know this when we booked though) Villa has everything you need and Gorete was easily contactable with any questions we had.
Highly recommend a stay at this Villa.

About the host
Hosted by Lili
Hello, and welcome! I'm the proud host of Village Calheta, and there's nothing I enjoy more than sharing this beautiful corner of the world with my guests. I've always been drawn to the peace and beauty of coastal living — the sound of the ocean, the fresh mountain air, and those unforgettable sunsets that never fail to take my breath away. When I'm not hosting, you'll usually find me out on the hiking trails discovering hidden viewpoints, at the helm of a boat with the wind in the sails, or in the kitchen cooking up something delicious with fresh local ingredients. These are the simple pleasures that make this place so special to me, and I love nothing more than sharing them with my guests. I take great pride in making sure every guest feels completely at home, with a comfortable, well-cared-for space and a warm welcome from the moment you arrive. Whether you're here to unwind by the heated pool, dine al fresco under the stars, or simply soak up the stunning views of the sea and mountains, my hope is that you'll leave feeling refreshed, recharged, and already dreaming of your next visit. I'm always happy to share my favourite local tips — the best hiking routes, the finest spots to eat, and the loveliest places to explore along the coast — so please don't hesitate to ask. Your comfort and enjoyment mean everything to me. I look forward to welcoming you to Village Calheta!
Why they chose this property
I fell in love with this neighbourhood the moment I arrived, and I've never looked back. There's a rare magic to Calheta — that perfect balance of tranquillity and natural beauty, where the sparkling ocean stretches out before you and the majestic mountains rise up behind. It feels like the best of both worlds. At the heart of it all is Calheta beach — one of the most amazing beaches on the whole island, with its golden sands and calm, inviting waters. It's the perfect spot to soak up the sun, take a refreshing swim, or simply relax and watch the world go by. Just moments away, the lively marina adds to the charm, and the area is dotted with wonderful restaurants serving everything from fresh local seafood to international favourites — all within easy walking distance. What I enjoy most is the gentle, unhurried pace of life here, combined with the joy of having so much right on the doorstep. Mornings begin with coffee and sweeping sea views, days can be spent lazing on the beach, hiking scenic mountain trails or sailing from the marina, and evenings are made for strolling to a nearby restaurant and lingering over dinner as the sky lights up with one of those unforgettable sunsets. It's the kind of place that lets you truly switch off and reconnect — with nature, with loved ones, and with yourself. Everything you need is close by, yet it never loses that peaceful, away-from-it-all feeling. That's exactly why I chose it, and why I think you'll fall for it too.
What makes this property unique
What truly sets Village Calheta apart is its unbeatable combination of luxury, comfort and location — all wrapped up in views you simply won't find anywhere else. From here, you're treated to breathtaking vistas of both the sparkling ocean and the majestic mountains, with spectacular sunsets that turn every evening into something magical. The villa itself is spacious, beautifully decorated and thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and adventure. There's a heated swimming pool for year-round enjoyment, wide balconies made for soaking up the scenery, and a purpose-built barbecue area perfect for al fresco dining under the stars. Inside, a fully equipped kitchen, elegant en-suite bedrooms (one with an indulgent Jacuzzi), and even a private gym mean you have everything you could possibly need right at your fingertips. But beyond the features, it's the feeling that makes Village Calheta special — that rare sense of peace and escape, combined with having one of the island's most amazing beaches, a charming marina and wonderful restaurants all within easy walking distance. It's a place where you can do as much or as little as you like, and leave feeling truly refreshed. Luxurious yet welcoming, secluded yet superbly connected — Village Calheta offers the very best of island living, and that's what makes it unforgettable.
