At the top of the stairs is a great leisure room with two sofa beds (for the 9th and 10th person), a children's desk and a stand with a selection of books and activities for children, as well as a selection of table games. The front balcony is a great place for an evening drink contemplating the wonderful views over the vineyards and banana plantations to the sea.

Overall a great spacious villa that works as well for a couples as for families, and is perfectly located to benefit from the sun and sea and as a base to explore or for walking holidays.

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
Nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans cette villa spacieuse, bien équipée à tous les niveaux, avec une vue magnifique sur l'océan. Les photos sont tout à fait conformes à la réalité. La localisation de cette villa est excellente pour visiter, randonner, faire différentes excursions. très bon rapport qualité prix/espace/localisation/équipement. Contacts très faciles et rapides avec Our Madeira et avec David, qui tient le café à 50 mètres de la villa. Encore un énorme merci à lui d'avoir été attentif aux différentes demandes (il veille vraiment à ce que les locataires se sentent bien :-) ).
Really nice, clean place with an amazing view to enjoy.
casa ideal para acolher famílias numerosas , excelentes condições. ótima localização e anfitrião extremamente simpático e atento às nossas necessidades.
Séjour parfait !
Beautiful home with all the amenities. would recommend renting a car as location is a 30 minute drive from the main city of funchal but there Is lots to see on this side of the island too! thanks so much for our stay! had the best time with the most beautiful views
Estadia muito agradável e o anfitrião muito prestável! A casa está bem localizada e está bem equipada. Recomendo vivamente!
It was amazing. Thank you very much! 5/5 stars! Only negativ point: it's a bit far away from the beach (45 min walk).
Absolutely stunning villa and highly recommended for a family looking for a private but spacious holiday home with incredible views
Host lives nearby and is very helpfull. House was clean, kitchen was well equipped, rooms were nice, beds were very comfortable. View from the balcony (especially during the sunset) was amazing. Recommend for families and groups of friends.
Great size house for a family or group of friends. Great cooking facilities inside and outside. Area hasn't alot going on so need to drive to get to Prazeres and other areas. We intended to get buses but bus stop was closed so were a bit stranded. Great check on and communication. Very good value.
Property is good and host is cooperative in all manner.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. Nous avons apprécié cette maison spacieuse et bien équipée. La terrasse est particulièrement agréable et la vue sur la mer est magnifique. Très bon accueil et très bonne réactivité des gérants. Bref on reviendra sans hésiter !
Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön, sauber und gut gelegen. Check-in war einwandfrei. Die Küche ist super ausgestattet.David ist sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Die Wohnung ist jedem zu empfehlen!
nicely located with lots of space.... the owners parents have a small grocery shop 100 m away; also Calheta is close to MUDOS Museum which architecture is wort a visit
Onze eerste keer op Madeira. Het was februari, dus elke dag afwachten wat voor weer het zou worden. Elke dag was het beter dan de voorspellingen. Het huis was super schoon en groot. David was zeer gastvrij. Zeer comfortabel huis voor gezin met tieners en jong volwassenen. Bovenverdieping was ruimte voor onze studerende zoon. Twee slaapkamers daar. Ook twee slaapkamers beneden. Drie badkamers. Twee balkons, waar we in de luwte in de zon konden zitten. Het uitzicht was schitterend. Ruime kduken met eettafel. 5 minuten rijden naar het strand. Calheta is een heerlijk plaatsje. Verschillende restaurants vlak bij. Ik zou dit huis zo weer huren!
Grande maison bien équipée et bien située pour faire le sud ouest Toutefois proche de la voie rapide et donc un peu bruyante
Very nice house, perfect location, and very helpful host. Everything was as described and it was always possible and easy to reach our host. Definitely recommend!
Nous avons loué cette maison pour une famille de 9 avec 2 enfants font une en bas âge. Ce lieu est merveilleux, très bien équipé et ne manque de rien. La vue sur l'ocean et le climat du sud de l'île sont un atout considérable. L'hôte a été très réactif tout le long du séjour. Villa à recommander sans hésiter
don't miss this fantastic villa, near by Calheta. Far from the cities, but close enough if you want to move to any imporant city or important place. Front Ocean, excellent access and the house as everything we need, and in my case I had a little baby with 15months
Nice location, nice host and okay equipped house!
Great place to stay.
What a nice view - what a nice villa! These has been our first impressions after checking in! We've been here as a group of friends, celebrating Christmas. The villa has two floors (each with a very nice balcony) and a top view from both of them to the ocean! The host was very helpful! After we didn't manage to start the oven, he was there in minutes to help us - although it has been on Christmas Eve! The villa was also quite accessible for wheelchair users. There's only a steep ramp to enter, where you probably would need some help, if you're not having an electric wheelchair. But inside it was quite good to get around. Overall our stay was perfect!
Tolle Gastfreundschaft und super Ausstattung Das Haus liegt zentral und verfügt über einen wunderschönen Ausblick. Sehr empfehlenswert für Gruppen Meerzugang leider weiter entfernt
Genial la casa. Buenas vistas y buenas instalaciones
propriétaire à côté de la maison, et disponible
Schönes modernes Haus mit tollem Meerblick. Großzügige Ausstattung mit drei Bädern, Terrasse, Balkon und Außengrill/-küche.
Wir hatten mit fünf Personen einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt. Die Küche ist überdurchschnittlich ausgestattet und die Lage ist sehr gut. Eine wunderbare Sonnenterrasse mit Meerblick. Der Ansprechpartner vor Ort ist jederzeit sehr zuvorkommend für die Gäste da. Lieben Dank dafür David.
The nicest house with the nicest view! It's recommended to have a car - but if you have you can also go everywhere. Barking dogs from the neighbors where the only minus.
Sehr schön und gut ausgestattetes Haus, gut geeignet für 2 Paare und Kinder. Die Küche ist top ausgestattet, schöne Terrasse zum draußen essen, auch den Griller haben wir einmal benutzt. Die Matratzen sind eher hart, wir mögen das, aber manch einer ist da empfindlich. Den Gastgebern gehört das Cafe gleich daneben, wo man im Laden so ziemlich alles bekommt, auch Werkzeug usw. Die Sandwiches dort sind auch zu empfehlen, ebenso der Poncha. In der Nachbarschaft gibt es einige Hunde und Hähne, die einen stören könnten, wenn man einen leichten Schlaf hat. Ansonsten günstig gelegen, man ist gleich auf der Schnellstraße. Unbedingt einen Besuch in der Pukiki Tiki Bar machen und einen Cocktail trinken! Wir waren im Jänner dort, da kann es nachts schon etwas kalt werden und man muss den Heizstrahler einschalten. Insgesamt eine tolle Unterkunft, würden wir auf jeden Fall wieder nehmen.
Beautiful, well maintained and clean Casa in a perfect location with sweeping sea views surrounded by vineyards and banana plantations. The wide double aspect balcony means you can chose sun or shade all day long and there is plenty of outdoor furniture and a traditional barbecue. It's easy to find just a few minutes from the VE3. David and his family are very welcoming, they serve lovely Tostas and home made garlic bread at Café Do 99 just a short walk away, and they have a small shop with basic essentials, wine and beer. There is a larger supermarket 10 minutes walk away but we didn't need to go there. Don't miss an evening or three in the Pukiki Tiki bar 5 mins walk down the road to the East. Calheta Beach is within an easy short driving distance. Funchal is about 30 mins away via the motorways, and the villa is about 50 mins drive from the airport. We had a perfect holiday and would love to come back soon. We booked the villa through Our Madeira and cannot fault the organisation and communication. Thank you so much for everyone who made our holiday so special.
Se trata de una enorme casa con mucho espacio. las vistas son preciosas y el ambiente muy tranquilo. El encargado de la casa David nos ayudó con todas las dudas que tuvimos e incluso nos facilito el transporte y acceso a la comida local de la isla.
This is a great place for staying in Estreito de Calheta! We stayed a week and enjoyed the house (mainly the perfectly situated balcony) very much. It is located conveniently near supermarkets, cafe do 99 and, recommended, Pukiki bar. Also Calheta with beaches, small shopping center and restaurants is nearby. Recommended to rent a car and drive around the complete west part of the Island from here. We went hiking along beautiful levadas (such as Rabacal) and visited almost all coastal towns. The host is very friendly and helpful, has some good tips to enjoy Madeira. Nevertheless, we stayed at 'home' one day and just enjoyed the view and our own coffee.
