Nearby
A few minutes by car will take you to the resort town
of Calheta, which, with its man-made golden beaches, is
popular with tourists and locals alike. There is a beautiful marina
and a good choice of bars and restaurants. There is a handful of
boutique shops and a good supermarket.
Calheta is famous for producing the best white rum
'Aguardente', a special ingredient of the
typical Madeiran drink 'Poncha'. If you are interested in
knowing how the white rum is made, we recommend a tour of the
'Engenho da Calheta' the rum distillery where you can
wander around and sample the produce.
Centro das Artes Casa da Mudas is
a new centre located at the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea and
was built to host superb art exhibitions, musical performances and
other events.
Madeira is a paradise for those who enjoy walking and hiking, and Arco da Calheta is ideally situated, having easy access to the road network and most places on the island.
Within 15 minutes are the beaches at Ponta do Sol and Ribeira Brava, the esplanades at Jardim do Mar and Paul do Mar, the laurasilva forest of Madeira (a UNESCO world heritage site - http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/934) and the moonlike landscape of Paul da Serra (1500 meters).
An easy 30 minute drive brings you to the
capital, Funchal.
Madeira
Some seven hundred kilometres west of the African coast,
Madeira is a stunning mountainous emerald island, lapped by the
warm waters of the Gulf Stream. The first island to be discovered
by the Portuguese navigators in 1419, Madeira became an important
resting place on the long trip to the new world. From these humble
beginnings, the holiday trade was formed and this spectacular
island, which used to be the favourite place of the rich and
famous, is now the preferred choice of all sorts of visitors, from
those seeking year-round warm temperatures to nature lovers and
sightseers, sports and active enthusiasts of all ages. Culture,
history, stunning nature, a myriad of sea and land activities,
added to a great foodie scene means Madeira has something for
everyone. No matter where you go on the island you are rewarded by
fabulous scenery, tiny villages and friendly people. With a
population of over 100,000, Funchal is not only the capital, but
also the 'heart' of Madeira and home to many of the islanders. This
makes it a busy, chic, cosmopolitan and fun city, full of shops,
shopping centres, bars, cafés and a great variety of restaurants
and entertainment; a vibrant, cosmopolitan town where historic
splendour and breath-taking natural beauty combine with a
thoroughly modern atmosphere.

Reviews
We loved our stay! Everything was perfect! The house is fabulous with incredible views! Every meal on the terrace was wonderful! Thank you so much!
Super Unterkunft mit toller Lage!
Fantastic stay! Hosts Daniel and Silverio were excellent hosts! The place was clean, had lots of amenities, was in a great location, and allowed us to really experience the beautiful island of Madeira! We would love to come back!
It was even better than expected. The view is really amazing, there is no other house between you and the ocean, just banana trees ;) The surrounding area is quiet and you can find either a sunny or shady place in the outside area no matter the daytime. Inside, the house is comfortable and the kitchen is fully equipped. We would be happy to come back ����
This place is absolutely fantastic. The outside space is a really lovely place to hang out. You hardly need to leave. The bedrooms are really nice, comfortable with great sea views. Calheta itself is dull, but there are lots of amazing places to visit within an hours drive. Would be happy to go there again anytime.
Dieser Ort ist so schön, dass wir immer schwer losgekommen sind, um die Insel zu erkunden. Egal wo man sich auf den drei Terrassen aufhält, hat man immer einen atemberaubenden Ausblick. Der Kontakt ist sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Bei Problemen wurde uns sofort geholfen. Das Wlan funktioniert einwandfrei. Wir werden bestimmt nochmal wiederkommen.
This place is just wonderful in every way - a glorious view (also from bed), peaceful garden terraces with mango and draco trees, beautiful old house with lava stone walls, great location for levada and mountain walking, two fabulous fish restaurants within a 5 minute drive (Beira Mar in Calheta Marina and Moiera in Madalena do Sol). The best place we have ever stayed I think!
First of all the view is fantastic! The garden is incredible with iconic endemic dragon tree! The house is close to the supermarket as well. Everything was so thoughtful in the house, all the amenities were there too. Towels, cleaning supplies, even complimentary water and essential food like bread, jam, tea and coffee. Great place to grill vegetables outside, there were candles for romantic dinners too. Vanda, who was our manager was wonderful and very helpful! Thank you!
La propriete etait en tous points conforme aux photos. Tres propre, tres bien situee car nous avions une vue magnifique face a la mer. Un decor de reve avec un jardin tres agreable, tres bien paysage et ombrage. La prestation est de qualite avec un changement de linge de maison a mi-sejour ainsi qu'un peu de menage. Rien a redire si ce n'est qu'on quitte cet endroit a regret ..
Kommt man nach einer Wanderung oder einer Besichtigung zurück in dieses Haus, so vernimmt man das Rauschen vom unterhalb befindlichen Meer und den Wind durch die umgebenen Bananenplantagen. Das Haus selbst ist renoviert worden und im portugiesischen Cottage-Stil eingerichtet. Es sind alle notwendigen Gerätschaften vorhanden - könnte hier und da vielleicht noch etwas ergänzt werden. Im Garten verspürt man eine exotische Stimmung. Der Ort ist eine Oase der Ruhe. Sehr empfehlenswert.
this was our first visit to Madeira and Stonecliff Cottage proved to be an excellent choice. The property description and photos are accurate. It is well positioned for exploration of the island if you can tear yourself away from it's idyllic location, with great coastal views. Various shopping and eating places are just a few mins drive away, parking is easy. The covid situation was not a big problem for us although we did limit our activities a little and was probably to blame for the lack of a change of linin for our second week and the cottage is in need of a bit of maintenance here and there. Our biggest disappointment was that the pillows are in need of replacement, but otherwise, it was all ok. The gardens are very well kept and have an interesting array of plants. If we visit Madeira again we would definitely book again
Wunderschöne Lage. Einfach entspannend.
Traumfinca an der Südküste
Das Haus liegt wunderschön. Der Ausblick ist ein Traum. Es war sehr sauber und der Vermieter hat uns sogar ein Willkommensgeschenk inform von 1 Flasche Wein und ein Snack bereitgestellt. Die Übergabe mit Varna war unkompliziert und sehr sympathisch. Es war ein traumhafter Urlaub auf einer traumhaften Insel.
Das Objekt hat in jeder Hinsicht die Erwartungen von uns erfüllt. Die Bilder im Internet entsprechen voll den Tatsachen. Es war sauber und man hatte seine Ruhe. das Haus liegt an einer Klippe und ist umgeben von Bananenplantagen. Der Meerblick ist sehr schön. Besonders beim Sonnenuntergang. Die Straße mach Calheta (Einkaufsmöglichkeit) direkt vom Haus war gesperrt wegen Bauarbeiten. Man musste einen Umweg durch den Tunnel fahren. War einiges weiter aber machbar.
We had a terrific stay in Stonecliff Cottage and what an absolutely amazing view. If you want a good base for discovering the island, look no further. Definitely highly recommended.
Eine schöne Unterkunft mit perfekter Lage . Als Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen optimal. Die Strasse zum Calheta Beach ist allerdings gesperrt. Steinschlag!Ausstattung wie beschrieben.Alles perfekt.
Wunderschön gelegenes Haus mit Blick aufs Meer. Besonders schön die beiden Terassen, der Garten mit Mango- und Drachenbäumen, Sitzgruppe, Bank und Hängematte bieten Möglichkeiten zur Entspannung. Das Haus mit niedrigen Decken ist gemütlich, bei 2 Bädern und gut eingerichteter Küche bleiben keine Wünsche offen.
Wir verbrachten 2 wunderbare Wochen in diesem gemütlichen, rustikalen Landhaus und haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt. Besonders der atemberaubende Meerblick und die romantischen Sonnenuntergänge haben uns jeden Tag aufs Neue beeindruckt! Im Haus hat es uns an nichts gefehlt, auch die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Mehrere Sonnenterrassen laden zum Sonnenbaden ein und man findet hier immer auch ein schattiges Plätzchen. Für die nötige Abkühlung sorgt die Gartendusche. Und wenn wir mal nicht auswärts Essen gehen wollten: der Grill funktioniert hervorragend! Durch die vorteilhafte Lage, erreicht man problemlos in wenigen Minuten die Marina, den Strand, einen gut sortierten Supermarkt und einige gute Restaurants. Die Tauchschule können wir sehr empfehlen. Die "Insel-Autobahn" oder die alte Landstraße sind in Kürze erreichbar, eine Bushaltestelle befindet sich in der Nähe der Quinta. Wir haben die Insel problemlos mit dem Mietwagen erkundet und einige herrliche Wanderungen unternommen. Wir können das Stonecliff-Cottage jedem empfehlen, der einen ruhigen, erholsamen und doch auch interessanten Urlaub auf Madeira verbringen möchte. Danke auch an das Team von Our Madeira, ihr habt uns sehr gut betreut! Ihr seid echt Spitze!
Stonecliff Cottage ist eine herausragende Ferienunterkunft in Caletha. Das Haus ist groß, schön eingerichtet und hat eine große Terrasse mit Liegestühlen, Hängematte, Grillstation und vielem mehr. Viele Anbieter versprechen nur den Meerblick - hier trifft es uneingeschränkt zu! Der Check-In mit dem Vermieter war völlig problemlos, und nach einer Woche gab es frische Handtücher und frisches Bettzeug. Die vorhandene Waschmaschine haben wir gern genutzt, um unsere Bekleidung nach Wanderungen wieder zu reinigen. Das Internet funktionierte super. Das Ferienhaus ist zu empfehlen, wenn man Madeira erkunden möchte, aber durchaus auch einige Ausruhetage in schöner Umgebung einlegen will.
Man ist so dicht am Meer, dass man das leise Rauschen der Brandung hört und den ganzen Tag Ruhe und die Aussicht auf Meer und Küste genießen kann. Wunderschöne Sonnenuntergänge egal wo man sitzt. Im Schatten der Bäume, der wunderbaren Terrassen oder direkt in der Sonne. Das Haus ist innen und außen wunderschön und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Für Selbstversorger ist alles da, was man braucht. Für uns eines der schönsten Unterkünfte, die wir bisher hatten. Unser Tipp: Die Bewertungen lesen und das Positive behalten; es stimmt absolut. A&G aus Bochum
Beautiful cottage, spacious and very relaxing. Amazing views and great location!
Our third stay at this stunning location. Home from home with views over the Atlantic ocean and surrounded by banana trees what more could you ask for. We loved the veranda with outside eating area and the extra shower room. The house is quiet, clean and has all necessary facilities. Recommend this renovated house for a peaceful vacation.
The cottage was very spacious inside as well as the grounds outside. Everything was clean and well kept.The view out to the Atlantic was excellent and we watched many sun sets. We enjoyed our walks down to the harbour and the supermarket,but not always the very steep walk back. We had a hire car but because the cottage and grounds were excellent we did not use the car much.
Wij hebben een heerlijke vakantie gehad op het prachtige eiland Madeira! Het huis was schitterend gelegen met een geweldig uitzicht! Alles benodigdheden waren in het vakantiehuis aanwezig. Een minpunt was de slechte staat van de waterkranen in de badkamer en douche met bijna altijd koud water. Dit huis is zeker aan te raden voor een heerlijke vakantie!
We were very warmly welcomed. The house is very functional, the garden and overlooking the Atlantic Ocean are fantastic. The information before the holiday were very helpful and everything went quickly. We would always come back gladly.
This cottage is just perfect. We experienced a very warm welcome with a short tour through the cottage. The inside of the house is well maintained , well equiped and very clean. We really felt comfortable during our week in the cottage. The outside is just perfect. We spent lots of time on the beautiful terrace and could not get enough of the view. If we ever come back to Madeira we would stay here again and again!
The house very nice with two big bedrooms. The garden was absolutely great. Spacious, full of beautiful plants, trees and flowers. Just eighty meters above the ocean in between banana plantations; the view was just great. The best house we ever had on Madeira!
