Cottage holiday rentals in Arco da Calheta

We had a wonderful time at Emanuels place. He was a wonderful host, very helpful with recommendations and showing how everything worked. The view from his place is incredible. We spent almost every evening on the terrace, enjoying the view of the ocean and Ribeira Brava. What a wonderful place! Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa do Cantinho do Muro. The house is spacious and ideal for 4 people. We really enjoyed the extra summer kitchen with the barbecue. Everything was ready to use and easy. The neighborhood is quiet, the view is magnificent with the mountains that surround the valley.

Photos do not do this place justice! Incredible, incredible place. Thank you

A nice and cosy countryhouse, detailed video instructions.

Fantastic views from the garden. The host was super helpful and quick to respond. There was a very generous welcome gift of fruits and local produce.

We had the privilege of renting this efficient and comfortable home for a month. Mary is an extraordinary host. Directions were precise, information was thorough and she was available to offer assistance, and answer questions at any time. Fresh citrus trees were available for picking just off the generous patio. We enjoyed the hot tub and having a washer and dryer and outdoor clothes rack. The Poncha Bar down the street is the best!!! Mary’s husband Joseph is the owner/bartender/coffee maker and general store manager….he does it all! Joseph’s Poncha is hands down the best we found on the island! A safe and welcoming neighborhood, in a central location on a stunning island.

We had a great stay. Unfortunately, during our stay, a glass lid fell from the cupboard above the hob onto the hob. It was broken. Immediately reported and arranged with the owner. Very nice. Furthermore, the location is great, it is very quiet and beautiful. You are exactly on the right sunny side of Madeira. The cocktail bar a little further, pukiki, is within walking distance and very nice to go to. Shops are close by, the beach is close by and the beautiful hiking trails are perfect to drive to. There is no air conditioning, I think that if it gets warmer you will notice the heat, but there is a fan. The beds by the pool had collapsed, so we just used our outdoor chairs. Everything in the cottage is otherwise great. No great luxury but perfect for the price, the location and everything you need is present.

The accomodation was nice, soooo quiet and peaceful. Only the bird chirping we can hear during our stay. the view from the covered terace was amazing. it was easy to reach the house by car. We really enjoyed our stay in this cottage.

the house was satisfactory for all of us guests, well served, clean and everything worked perfectly

We can clearly say: this was the most beautiful Airbnb we have ever stayed in!!! The location, the property, the pool and above all: the beautiful little cottage. Every detail is just right, so tasteful and authentic, beautiful materials, not one element too many or too few. You'll fall in love! Normally, we almost always go out for breakfast and eat, but here we often preferred to stay on the beautiful veranda. Dustin and Paula were always there for us and made sure that we always had everything we needed. We will be happy to come back!!!

If you're looking for a quiet area to get away from the crowds in the cities this is a wonderful place. It's nestled in the mountain valleys near Ponta do Prago but quite near the ocean. We loved our 6 day stay at Frederica 's. She provided good, clear instructions to get there. She also gave us very useful information on local attractions, restaurants and supermarkets. The house is on a very steep pitched road so walking up and down it can be a challenge ( we are in our 70's ) We did it a few times. There is a walk from her house to the waterfalls . It took us about 2 hrs. Rnd-trip but it was well worth it. If we were to return we'd go back in April or later.

We spent two wonderful weeks at Maria's fantastic accommodation. Everything was very nice, tidy, and clean. The garden was beautiful, and we had a wonderful time. We definitely recommend this accommodation. Maria is also super friendly and helpful. Check-in was easy, and the accommodation was easy to find.

Good place to stay. The host is very responsive and goes out of his way to answer any questions or problems. We found a cockroach and ants in the property. Cat droppings in the garden were cleaned up after consultation. The location is good, but the path to the beach is more complicated than described. 20min downhill or uphill ;) I was satisfied with the stay! The bathrooms are modernized, the kitchen is well-equipped. The garden furniture/ sunbathing areas appear outdated. We destroyed a lamp while hunting for insects. This was not charged to us. Armando was very nice and I can recommend the place.

This place is amazing! In the middle of the mouintains and almost no one around - felt magical ! Nice view of the ocean with green surrounding. It is also close to the small village with good coffee :) House looks like in the pictures, cozy, big and clean. Garden is well kept with many areas to hang out. We have the worst weather but with two electric heaters it was warm inside. The host was friendly, helped us with all issues that we asked and made this holidays really easy-going for us :) thanks! Highly recommended for memorable and relaxed holidays :) PS The swimming pool can be heated but it costs 45€/day and it has to be heated for at least 5 days.

Perfect for a couple. Walk to Marina and shopping . Views are unmatched! We enjoyed ( and marveled at the view) every minute! Small pool is very good for a quick dip . BBQ grill a real plus - we used it several times. Kitchen well appointed ( perhaps obtain a larger coffee maker?) All in all - excellent.

Very beautiful villa. Great for holidays for families or groups of friends. The +: The pool, the barbecue and the terrace with its ocean view. A car is necessary because the house is in the hills, but a closed courtyard even allows you to park 2. Flexible, we were able to leave the accommodation at 2 p.m. instead of 11 a.m.

The house is amazing, we had a great time In this accommodation- very recommended! It is very secluded and calm🙂 The interior is very cozy, had all the necessary equipment for cooking and barbecue on the terrace. The view is stunning - very beautiful location. For cat lovers there is a great bonus - there are cats that are coming from time to time to the terrace of the house - they are very cute and friendly - we recommend to grab some additional food to have something to feed them🙂 This house is a great and unique place to stay and we loved it but there are few things to keep in mind for guests of this accommodation: - there is no cellular network in the house - WiFi is unstable (the house is not suitable for working), we stayed for 4 nights and there was no internet connection during this period of time almost at all. - It’s very secluded and most of the things around close pretty early so you have to plan & buy your food in advance, also to buy in advance a lot of water (for dri

Great stay in a beautiful and quiet house What a nice place! The house is even more beautiful than in the photos and the description actually falls short. It is very quiet with a beautiful view — ideal for relaxing. Everything was perfectly maintained and sparkling clean. The kitchen is fully equipped, you really have everything you need. Unfortunately, the weather was not good and we were unable to enjoy the outdoor space due to the rain. We would have liked to stay here much longer. Highly recommended!

It was a very Nice stay , quite in the evening and morning ,tho quite close by all needs ! Would stay here again!

Thank you so much to Costa and Siestke, their home is beautiful and was our perfect base - we were so happy to have slow mornings there and return home there in the evening after exploring the island. Porto de Cruz is a great little village with the old rum factory and beaches, we really loved our stay here. Costa ans Sietske were so gracious, sharing the history of the building and local recommendations, it was a pleasure to meet both of them. Thank you so much for everything! 10/10 highly recommend, especially if you want a cosy, authentic place to yourself on the island. Perfect!
