Apartment holiday rentals in Arco da Calheta

Thank you Kevin for a lovely stay in Madeira! We loved being able to watch the sunset from the balcony and listen to the sound of waves as we fell asleep. The location of this apartment is perfect - a short walk to a few spots along the coast for dinner or drinks and an easy drive to many gorgeous beaches and hikes on the island! Great option if you are wanting to get out of the busier Funchal area. We will be recommending this spot to anyone we know who is traveling to Madeira! Kevin was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed, including setting us up with an easy rental car service!

Had a fabulous 9 day stay at Casa Silva! The place was clean, organized, and as advertized. Met Irene's mother, Maria, at a nearby church, and followed her to the location of the Airbnb. She provided a tour of the space, along with some wine and fresh organic eggs. Tip - the roads are steep, stick to the main road and you'll be fine! Felt very comfortable and safe at Casa Silva. Irene was very quick to respond to any questions. Thank you for the hospitality! Will definitely choose Casa Silva for the next Madeira trip!

We stayed with 4 people in the apartment. The welcome was warm and welcoming. Catarina (co-host) showed us around. Upon entering, there were some goodies ready and fresh fruit and vegetables from your own garden. The apartment is large and very complete with a nice roof terrace. We stayed here from 29-4 to 7- 5. Because the weather was fresh, an electric heater was placed. In front of the house you can park in the parking lot. We communicated via the app before and during the holiday. Catarina responds quickly and likes to think along with you. She will send you a message after receipt with the house rules, sights, locations of the supermarkets etc. She is very enthusiastic and if you ask her anything you will get a quick answer or try to organize or arrange things. During our stay she had a wedding in Cyprus. She was away the same period as our stay. But even now we could text her with questions or tips. I would love to recommend this stay, we loved it.

We stayed 5 nights in Maria and Albertino's accommodation and we were very well looked after. The hosts live right next door but it's not at all disturbing, the accommodation is very well located to do the south and west side of the island. The listing is in line with what's in the accommodation, very well-equipped kitchen and superb view all day. Thank you to Maria and Albertino for their recommendations and small gifts. I recommend it, it's a real favorite

Great apartment with good accessories, in a great location with a very friendly host. We were very pleased and would definitely recommend this apartment. Thank you! :)

Amazing place and location. The Penthouse looks better in reality than in pictures! Totally recommend, I will be back for longer period.

Lovely apartment, very modern and well equipt with a beautiful terrace that overlooks the ocean and a nice pool area that is shared with 3 other apartments. We had a great time here and location was close to the main coastal road to do many day trips. Be carful with the road to the house, if you are not an experienced driver, it is quite steep. All in all a lovely place to stay!

we loved the location - it is a drive away from the main attractions which was great for us as we enjoyed the peace and quiet Sandra was super helpful and we had no problems during the stay the flat provides everything you need, not a high end place but we didn't care about the fancy design -everything was clean and up to date

everything was excellent! Zeza is a very friendly host; she welcomed us and explained all the nuances and details. the apartment was spotlessly clean and cozy, equipped with everything we needed, and offered a stunning view of the ocean and mountains. one of my best experiences on airbnb. I highly recommend it without hesitation. p.s. a warm hello to the kitty who visited our balcony every day! 😁

We´ve stayed for a week and had an amazing time! The flat is big, ideal for 2-4 people. It's fully equipped with everything you need and even more. Basic supplies like oil and spices were there and we even got nice welcome gifts :) There´s a garage so you don´t have to worry about parking at all. Location is also pretty good, with markets, restaurants and some levadas nearby. I can highly recommend this flat and their hosts :)

We had a wonderful stay here! The views are absolutely stunning – floor-to-ceiling windows look out over the ocean and hills, and we enjoyed the peaceful, quiet setting every day. The place was also spotless when we arrived, which made us feel instantly at home. The location is ideal for exploring the western part of Madeira, which also happens to be the sunniest part of the island – we had consistent sunshine throughout our stay, even when other parts were cloudy. The place offers great value for money and was a perfect base for relaxing and adventuring alike. A couple of small downsides: the TV and kitchen appliances could use an upgrade, and the WiFi was down for a day during our stay – but Sandra was very responsive and got it sorted. Overall, a fantastic experience and we’d definitely recommend it!

Perfect RoofTop apartment. Beautiful and quiet view. I recommend it and we'll be happy to come back.

We had a great time here. Unfortunately we had to cut our stay short but Monica and Jason were very understanding with this which made it less stressful. We were sad we couldn’t stay longer as the flat was great! Very good kitchen amenities and shower, great central location so was perfect for wandering around the area. Monica provided us with loads of great recommendations of things to do and places to eat which was really helpful!

This is a beautiful place! The pictures did not do it justice. It was open and spacious, we felt relaxed the minute we stepped in! We traveled with our 3 adult children and we had plenty of space. There were a lot of extra touches-fresh flowers, a cooler to use, swim towels, complimentary cake and wine, and blankets for use out on the patio. The parking was convenient as we rented a car for travel on the island. We took the path to town and wish we would have done this earlier to enjoy the beach. The view was mesmerizing and we even saw some dolphins! dolphins! We woredolphinsdolphins

Stunning views from the property, very peaceful and comfortable place. Marta gave lots of helpful recommendations for local restaurants and activities. The property was clean and in perfect condition. Would recommend !

Very helpful hostess, quiet area away from busy Funchal. Amazing views, spacious apartment, super king size bed. Useful utility area with washing machine and drying area. Good cooking facilities. Enjoyed sitting on the balconies for breakfast and evening meals. Near bus stop and supermarket. We are fit 70yr olds so steep drive and stairs didn’t bother us.

Everything was great! Communication went smoothly. The location is ideal. From there you can get all over well and there is a shopping center with supermarket directly across the street. Thanks !

We are glad we booked at this spot! The balcony was wonderful to have and everything was clean. What stood out the most was our very responsive host making sure we got all checked in even while her car was broken down on the side of the road! Despite the emergency, she responded to all our messages promptly and helped us check in. I was extra grateful when I woke up extremely sick from some bad fruit the night before and we were allowed a late check out until I recovered! We even left one of our passports at check out and she made sure the staff kept it safe for us. Very helpful owners, would recommend.

Betty is the top host! She welcomed us with open arms. Very fast to respond, friendly and helpful! We were able to check out in the afternoon and enjoyed our last lunch at home before leaving for the airport. The view of the mountains is breathtaking at day and night time. The apartment is absolutely huge. It was our 3rd visit to Madeira with our elderly mum. She got beautiful bedroom with en suite bathroom and walk in shower. Betty also got an armchair for mum so she could relax on the balcony. We had such a comfortable and great stay! highly recommended!

This was a beautiful Airbnb with a great patio. Tons of wonderful restaurants were in walking distance. Paulo was a very friendly host and even delivered fresh bread every morning!

Nice apartment to stay for a long holiday with beautiful views of Praira Formosa. Infinity pool, ample space, well equipped kitchen and washing machine. Free parking in the apartment's garage. The location was perfect being just outside of Funchal with easy access to ER 101. The apartment sits up on the hill with a short walk to the promenade; you can walk either towards Camara de Lobos or Funchal. Lots of restaurants on the promenade and on Estrada Monumental. There is a supermarket (Continente) just 2-3 blocks down the street from the apartment. The local host met us at the apartment to show us around. The apartment was clean and comfortable coming home after a day of hiking (purchase trail tickets 3E on Simplifica for all the PR# trails). A car is a must if you are going to hike and see Maderia. No Jacuzzi and gym is old and poorly equipped.

If I could, I would give to this accomodation and Patricia way more stars :) The flat is perfect. Great location, ocean view, everything was clean, nice and neat. Also those little, but big, details - dimmable light, extra fluffy blanket (not going to spoil more:) Watching stars while in jacuzzi.. Just awesome :) And Patricia is amazing host. Always quick answer, helpful, proactive, friendly. We enjoyed our stay very much and I will definitely book this place again, if we ever come back :)

Cristina was a wonderful host, always available with helpful tips and recommendations. The apartment was very clean and tidy, furnished, arranged and equipped in the best of taste. Stunning view, very quiet, even if very near to the expressway, and because of that perfect located to get everywhere easy and quick. Restaurants of all kind available within short driving time. Overall - very advisable!

We really enjoyed our stay in Madeira. This was the perfect home base for exploring the island. This home was amazing; larger and greater than expected. We really enjoyed the hot tub after a long day of hiking and exploring. I would definitely recommend this to others and would love to stay here again!
