If you want to get away from it all, relax and simply enjoy the beauty of Madeira's dramatic coastline, then Villa do Mar is the perfect choice. Situated in Fajã Do Mar, where temperatures never drop below 19ºC, 30 metres above the deserted pebble beach, this idyllic, this character 3 bedroom air-conditioned villa is a veritable oasis and the ultimate holiday retreat, ideal for holidays with friends and family.
The outside space is fantastic and the views will take your breath away. The doors from the lounge open on to the wooden terrace which surrounds the front area of the villa, with outdoor dining facilities and a built-in barbecue. The garden is large with a variety of indigenous plants and palm trees and leads down to the sunny swimming pool area, with sun loungers and parasols. The perfect spot to relax with a glass of wine and watch the beautiful sun sets.
Steps lead down to the main door, which leads to the hall and open-space lounge dining room overlooking the garden. The quirky but fully equipped kitchen wraps around the old bread oven chimney.
The master bedroom, with en-suite bathroom, and one of the twin rooms, has direct access to the garden, and the third bedroom has a balcony with sea view. The second and third bedrooms can be made up as a double bed or two single beds. The mezzanine above the lounge has 2 single beds - ideal for children.
The villa is secluded and off the beaten track and accessed via a narrow steep driveway. Villa Do Mar I has been the home to many a happy holidaymaker for the past couple of years. It was originally built and used as the owner's summer retreat.
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.

Nearby
Madalena do Mar is a small village located on the southwest coast
of the island with beautiful sea and cliff views. Its name came
from the legendary Polish Prince of the 15th century, Henry
Allemão. He lost a battle in 1444 and was given land by João
Gonçalves Zarco and established a great-populated farm where he
built a chapel and dedicated to the Saint Mary Madeleine.
It is a characteristic fishing village with a beautiful promenade
along the pebble beach. Its location and accompanying climate has
helped it to establish the biggest banana plantations on the
island.
There are several restaurants for lazy lunches or evenings
out.
Calheta with its man-made golden beaches is popular with tourists
and locals alike. There is a beautiful marina and a selection of
bars and restaurants.
Calheta is famous for producing the best white rum 'Aguadente', 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.
Within 15 minutes DRIVE are the beaches at Ponta do Sol and
Ribeira Brava, the esplanades at the surfing paradises of Jardim do
Mar and Paul do Mar.
An easy 30 minute drive takes you to Funchal.
The beautiful Madalena do Mar is the nearest village along the coast. Known for its long bay, wonderful climate and for producing the best bananas on the island, it has a selection of cafés and restaurants, a lovely promenade and partially sandy beach.

Reviews
Super friendly welcome and staff, absolutely exceptional location, quiet and beautiful garden, great view, amazing sunsets.
beautiful villa with seaview and nice swimming pool. We loved the beachhouse, with fireplace, kitchen and dining table!
Super séjour ! La villa et son extérieur sont encore mieux qu'en photo ! Le chemin pour y parvenir est extrêmement pentu. Prévoyez une petite voiture puissante.
Just an amazing place with an unbelievable view over the sea. The garden and the house are perfect to the very last detail. Our whole family felt in love with this little paradise. The remarks about the road are true :) Make sure you rent a strong car.
Absolut wundervoller Blick aufs Meer. Villa ist sauber und sehr geräumig. Der Pool ist riesig und hat einen traumhaften Blick auf das Meer. Ich kann die Villa absolut weiterempfehlen. WLAN und Ausstattung waren ebenfalls super. Zur Villa gehört zudem ein kleines Strandhaus mit privatem Zugang. Der Eigentümer war sehr nett und gut erreichbar. Wir kommen auf jedenfall gerne wieder.
Wir können diese Villa nur empfehlen, ein unglaublich besonderer Ort mit tollen Möglichkeiten. ...Allein der Ausblick morgens beim Frühstück!! Wir haben uns wirklich sehr wohlgefühlt und es genossen. Allerdings waren wir auch nur zu zweit und man muss wissen, dass es ein sehr helles freundliches Schlafzimmer gibt und die anderen eher dunkler sind, muss man dann untereinander auslosen wer, in das helle darf....Die Kommunikation mit Bruno war sehr freundlich und zuverlässig. Ein wirklich besonderer magischer Ort!
Sehr schönes Haus mit wunderbarem Garten, Pool und Aussicht aufs Meer. Strandhaus und eigener Zugang zum Strand. Nicht von den Steinen abschrecken lassen, das Wasser ist herrlich. Die Fahrt von der Straße über den Privatweg zum Haus ist nichts für Fahranfänger ( steil und eng ). Wir haben eine wunderbare Woche verbracht, danke auch an Bruno. Unbedingt die Restautants des Eigentümers besuchen,es lohnt sich.
Absolutely stunning place with a beautiful garden. The pool and the Beach house are better than the pictures. We will come again! Thanks a lot.
Beautiful sunsets, surrounded by nature and a fabulous welcome. Thank you for allowing us to stay in this little bit of paradise.
Perfect garden ... Barbecue outside
Me and my friends had an amazing week in Madeira. Villa Do Mar I takes your breath away. The pool, the views, the daily sun, the house itself... Everything was where it was supposed to be; the rooms had all the comfort you might need. The villa is located in a very quiet area, so the only things you hear are the waves. Sometimes workers come for the banana trees or for the new constructions, but it's still quiet. Even though the acces was indeed steep and narrow, that wasn't a problem at all. After a few times, you get used to it. But at the end of this road, you truly find a piece of heaven. The island it's so beautiful, more beautiful than expected. We rented a car (which is a must- Our Madeira helped with that) and visited the entire island. North, South, East and West, as much as we could. But a lot of things still left "untouched". We already think about next year and plan the next trip to Madeira and to Villa do Mar I, which we'll love to have again. We also loved that the house has around a family of cats with kittens, which made our holiday even more beautiful and made us feel like home (we are animal lovers and have pets as well). We bought some cat food for them and we truly hope that the others to come, will do the same and feed the souls that live there. We have to take care of one another. See you next time and thank you for everything!
Wunderbarer Ort zum Urlaub machen
da passt einfach alles - wir waren rundum zufrieden
Beautiful Villa, stunning location, the photos do not do it justice. However you would need to be a highly experienced driver to manage the very steep road to and from the villa.
Great stay and warm welcome from the owner and Manager. Wonderful location with an amazing garden and pool. The property with Madeira style is very well decorated with a gorgeous view on sea. Very easy and confortable access to the pebble beach. Good place for snorkeling
We liked it very much. First of all we were impressed by the fact that the villa were even better than it appeared on photos. We admired very much kind and warm attitude of the owners and management. Compliment wine, wonderful evening in the restaurant, all that was very kind. Thank you!
