About this villa rental

With panoramic sea views, three separate lounges, a larger-than-average 9m x 4m private swimming pool and a games room, our spacious villa is ideal for multi-generational families, groups of friends and walkers seeking space, comfort and privacy. Its unique split-level layout offers plenty of room to spend time together while still allowing everyone their own space to relax.

Nestled among banana groves on a terraced mountainside in a peaceful hamlet on Madeira's beautiful south coast, the villa enjoys a tranquil setting with spectacular sea views. The private south-facing swimming pool is exclusively for your use and is never shared. Surrounded by a spacious tiled sun terrace with sun loungers, umbrellas and an outdoor shower, it is the perfect place to unwind throughout the day. Pool towels are provided, and access to the pool is via steps to the lower level.

The villa offers five spacious bedrooms across two floors, comfortably accommodating up to 11 guests. Three bedrooms feature king-size beds, while the remaining two provide two and three single beds respectively, making the villa ideal for extended families and larger groups. Every bed is fitted with a firm memory foam mattress, 100% cotton bed linen and hypoallergenic bedding to ensure a comfortable night's sleep.

One of the villa's greatest strengths is its flexible layout. With three separate lounge areas spread across two floors, guests can enjoy time together without ever feeling crowded. Whether you're sharing family meals, watching a film, reading quietly or simply enjoying the views, there's always somewhere to relax.

Both floors include fully equipped kitchens, making the villa especially convenient for larger groups or families travelling together. The kitchens feature premium Bosch, Samsung, Teka and Hotpoint appliances, along with everything needed to prepare meals with ease. The main family kitchen includes a solid wood dining table, fridge-freezer, microwave and a generous selection of pots, pans and cooking utensils.

The upper floor contains the principal living areas together with three bedrooms. The comfortable lounge opens onto a private terrace where panoramic sea and mountain views provide the perfect backdrop for morning coffee or evening drinks as the village lights begin to twinkle below.

The lower floor has its own independent entrance and offers even more space for families to spread out. Here you'll find a second kitchen and dining area, an additional lounge, a modern shower room, two further bedrooms (one king and one twin), a private BBQ patio and the games room. The two floors are connected by an external staircase with a lockable doors, allowing guests to enjoy both privacy and togetherness whenever they choose.

The games area is available exclusively for guests and includes a full-size pool/snooker table, darts, jigsaws, board games compendium, playing cards and dominoes, providing entertainment for both adults and children after a day exploring the island.

Free high-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout the villa, and the surrounding area offers easy access to some of Madeira's most beautiful levada walks, making the property an excellent base for walkers and nature lovers.

Although peacefully located among lush banana plantations, the villa is within easy reach of local amenities. Two cafés are just a five-minute walk away, while a children's playground and picnic area are also nearby. The charming village centre is around a 15-minute walk and offers bars, a small supermarket, church, post office and ATM.

Calheta's sandy beach and marina are only a short drive away, where you'll find excellent restaurants, cafés, water sports including paddleboarding, wakeboarding and jet skiing, dolphin and whale watching trips, scuba diving and beach volleyball. Arco da Calheta is also one of Madeira's premier paragliding locations, offering spectacular flying conditions throughout much of the year.

Our stay was fantastic from start to finish (we were a group of 6 friends). As mentioned in the listing, it’s really two apartments (connected by an outdoor set of stairs). The top apartment has a huge living room with fantastic views and plenty of sofas, a large kitchen with everything you would need to cook meals (as well as a big table to sit at) and 3 bedrooms (two double beds and a room with 3 singles). The second lower apartment also had a kitchen as well as living room area with a pool table and dartboard (great for evenings in), as well as twin room and double bedroom. To top it all off a large pool area with lots of space to sit around and also with spectacular views. Outside there’s a BBQ and a great swing-seat which is ideal for watching the sunset.Emma and Quim are great hosts, always there to answer questions, resolve any issues and providing clear instructions for meeting them to check in (as well as tips on the local area). If you are looking at the listing, do not hesitate to book as it’s absolutely fantastic and ideal for a large group of adults. We’d love to return one day.

My family truly enjoyed our stay in Arco da Calheta. The hosts, Emma & Quim were so kind and welcoming. They gave us wonderful local suggestions, including visiting a town festival…which was definitely a highlight on our trip! We loved the ability to spread out between the two levels of the home. The pool and rec room were fun additions. The location was great for our activities, like the Fanal Forest (a must see!), sunny beaches in Calheta, exploring seaside villages, the banana museum, and dune buggy rides. We felt well cared for and comfortable in this rental home!

The house is well set up all extras you could ever need a real home from home Setting is stunning ! Waking to a sea view over banana groves is breathtaking.The pictures on the page dont do the house justice its huge ! Room after room is discovered. The games room was a huge positive ! And the pool is wonderful.This side of the island is hotter than most and we only had a fleeting drizzle one day. You are a little out on a limb and definitely need a car to discover the best of the island but the roads are so easy to navigate and well signposted so dont worry.The house is clean with all amenities needed it is a little tired in places but it has real charcater and if 2 families are travelling together its perfect as you can holiday together but still have time apart. The beds are amazing so comfortable.
