All bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, air-conditioning and the same wonderful views.

The second staircase leads to the bedroom hall (which also has a door to the rear of the property) and the second double bedroom and twin bedroom.

There are many walks around Calheta and easy access to the plateau of Paul da Serra, with its many levada walks, makes this villa perfectly located for walking in Madeira and for enjoying a lovely holiday surrounded by the beautiful Madeira countryside.

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.

    Liebevoll restauriertes Haus

    Sehr liebevoll gestaltetes Haus. Jedes der drei Schlafzimmer verfügt über ein eigenes Bad, Küche, Wohnzimmer und Essbereich sind sehr schön eingerichtet und gut ausgestattet. Bei unserer Ankunft standen einige Einkäufe bereit und sogar eine kleine Spielecke für unsere Tochter war vorbereitet. Der Pool und der kleine Garten sind sehr schön und bieten Raum für Entspannung und Abkühlung nach Wanderungen oder anderen Aktivitäten. Die Besitzerin ist sehr freundlich und hat auf jede kleine Anfrage sofort reagiert. Die Aussicht auf den Atlantik ist sehr schön und der Strand von Calheta ist mit dem Auto schnell zu erreichen. Gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind ebenfalls in der Nähe. Insgesamt ein sehr schönes Haus um einen entspannten Urlaub zu verbringen.

    Super

    Das Haus befindet sich in einer sehr guten Lage, zum Strand und Ort ist es nicht weit und auch die weiteren Teile der Insel sind schnell zu erreichen, vor allem das Wandergebiet Rabacal. Das Haus hat eine wirklich schöne und moderne Innenausstattung. Das Babypaket war super, es gab sogar ein Tipi und jede Menge Spielzeug. Der Weg zum Haus führt stetig bergauf durch relativ enge Straßen und ist etwas abenteuerlich, aber gut machbar.

    Fantastic villa in a beautiful part of Madeira. Will definitely return.
    We had a fabulous holiday in Casa Das Orquideas. Everything was exactly as described and Elizabeth is the perfect host. Calheta is a beautiful part of Madeira. Very peaceful but with lovely bars and restaurants down by the harbour. Exactly what we wanted for a wonderfully relaxed stay. Thank you Elizabeth for providing the perfect home from home in your lovely villa and we hope to see again soon.

    Stunning villa with beautiful views

    The information given in the listing was accurate, and it is as beautiful as the photos suggest! The property was clean and well maintained. The owner was very welcoming. Would certainly recommend this property. It is a good idea to have a car as it is a long walk up from the marina at Calheta (though there are taxis around).

    Fabulous

    This was a fabulous villa in which to spend a holiday. The directions to the villa were excellent and we were met by the owner when we arrived. The owner made us very welcome and took us on a tour of the villa, and we were greeted with some food and drink in the fridge. The villa was spotless and very well equipped. The pool was also kept very clean and maintained regularly although we never saw it being maintained. The view from the villa was superb. The surrounding area was very quiet. However any visitors need to be aware that the road to the villa is very narrow and steep. A car is essential if you want to enjoy the island. We would recommend the villa.

    Quiet location, superb views,lovely house

    The property has been lovingly restored, well maintained in a quiet location. Ideal if you have extended family staying with you. We had a lovely time relaxing by the pool and on the numerous patios/outdoor seating areas. The house is well equipped and plenty of room for 6 people, did not feel crowded.

    Beautiful house, beautiful area and wonderful host

    We had an amazing time staying in this beautiful house. Elizabeth welcomed us wonderfully, thinking about all the smallest things to help make our stay comfortable and easy especially with our little one. The house was very well equipped, it had everything you could need. The garden was lovely and the veg and herbs were a bonus. We found the location was superb for exploring by the island. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and very much hope to be back. We would highly recommend. Thank you Elizabeth.

    Simply stunning

    Casa das Orquideas is simply the most beautiful house we've ever seen! Staying for 9 nights we would highly recommend this property. It's setting in the beautiful Calheta is breathtaking. The home is modern yet traditional. The owner Elizabeth has thought of every detail (even pool toys for our little boy) which makes your stay even more enjoyable. The herb garden and pick your own strawberries were a hit with the family. With easy walking access to the local shops and restaurants and a 5 minute drive to the marina, Casa das Orquideas is perfectly placed. Whether laying beside your pool or napping in the hammock you are guaranteed to become the definition of relaxed in this outstanding property.

    A wonderful review. Thank you so much for taking the time to post it. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and hope you will return one day.
    One of the best villas we have ever stayed in

    This is a lovely villa. We were welcomed by the owner, and found an excellent range of food, milk and even beer in the fridge left for us. The pool area is lovely with full day sun and plenty of shade. The house is very clean, modern and has a lovely garden with herbs, strawberries and vegetables. Madeira is an interesting, mountainous island where driving is difficult.There is plenty of attractions, plenty of walks, but we enjoyed relaxing by the pool best. We would certainly recommend the villa.We loved our stay.

    Another super review which is fantastic. So pleased you enjoyed all that the villa had to offer: The owner is very thoughtful in the preparation of the villa for her guests and your enjoyment is very important to her. Thank you.
    Stunning Villa with beautiful views.

    What can we say, this is an absolutely stunning villa. Beautiful bedrooms with exceptional en-suites. Everything you could need has been provided including a well stocked fridge and larder. Elizabeth is a wonderful hostess, welcoming you to her villa and ensuring your stay is as memorable as the villa itself. The views of the Atlantic are breathtaking and can be enjoyed while relaxing by the lovely pool. Enjoy cooking outside and then relax in the hammock. Cannot speak highly enough of our stay at Casa Das Orquideas. Thank you so much!
