About this villa rental
Our villa offers everything you need for a relaxing, comfortable stay on the stunning Madeira coast. Set within banana groves on a terraced mountainside in a peaceful hamlet, the property features a private, south-facing swimming pool (9m x 4m) with panoramic sea views, sun loungers, umbrellas, an outdoor shower, and a large tiled sunbathing patio. Pool towels are provided, and access is via steps to the lower level. The pool is completely private and never shared.
The villa has 5 large and spacious bedrooms spread across two floors. Three rooms feature king-sized double beds, while two rooms include single beds (one with 2, the other with 3), making it perfect for groups of up to 11 guests. All beds are fitted with firm memory foam mattresses, 100% cotton bed linen, and hypoallergenic bedding, ensuring a restful and comfortable night's sleep for all.
Both levels of the villa include fully equipped kitchens with premium appliances from Bosch, Samsung, Teka, and Hotpoint. The upper-level family kitchen also includes a solid wood dining table and chairs, microwave, fridge/freezer, and a generous selection of pots, pans, and cooking utensils—everything you need to prepare and enjoy home-cooked meals with ease.
The upper-floor living room opens onto a private patio with incredible sea and mountain views—the perfect spot for relaxing evening drinks as the village lights twinkle below. This level includes three of the five bedrooms and the main living spaces.
The lower floor offers an independent open-plan living space with its own entrance. It includes a second kitchen and dining area, games room, private BBQ patio, and a modern shower room. Two bedrooms (one king, one twin) are also located on this floor. An outdoor connecting staircase (with a lockable door) links the two levels, making it ideal for extended families or groups of friends who want both togetherness and privacy.
Games Room: Available to all guests, the games room includes a full-size pool/snooker table, darts board, playing cards, and dominos—perfect for laid-back evenings or family fun.
The villa has free high-speed Wi-Fi and offers easy access to popular levada walks, perfect for nature lovers and hikers.
Set among lush banana plantations, the villa is in a tranquil location yet still close to amenities. Two local cafés are just a 5-minute walk away, and a children's play and picnic area is also nearby. The charming village is a picturesque 15-minute walk, offering bars, a small shop, a church, post office, and ATM.
Local Activities:
Paragliding: Arco da Calheta is one of Madeira’s top spots, just 10 minutes away, known for its year-round flying conditions and spectacular views.
Beach & Marina: The nearby Calheta beach and marina offers a selection of excellent restaurants, water sports rentals - jet-ski, wakeboarding, SUP etc., dolphin-spotting trips, beach volleyball, scuba-diving and more.
Rental Options:
The villa can be rented as a 2-bedroom apartment or a 3–5 bedroom full villa, depending on the season and your group size.

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!

We loved the house. It was big enough to give everyone plenty of space. The pool was excellent and the boys loved the games room.
Overall, as a family of 8 we had a wonderful holiday.
Emma & Quim are friendly helpful hosts.
