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.

Three terraces offer fantastic views overlooking the sea or mountain side . We very much enjoyed the tranquility and the easy access to the majority of the hiking areas. The local supermarket offers a quite wide range of fresh fish and all we needed during our stay. There's a restaurant in walking distance and some in Calheta (waterfront/marina or uphill) . This property is very well kept and equipped, it met all our expectations. We enjoyed the spaciousness (2 adults only), the outside barbecue area and used the heated pool extensively. The agency as well as the owner provided excellent service, we received all relevant information in advance and a warm welcome upon arrival. Both were approachable at any time and very helpful. Many thanks. We'd love to come back ! ##### Kirsten S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea G. 22 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### sehr schöner Aufenthalt Sehr schönes Haus, optimal gepflegt, mit schöner Aussicht auf das Meer und guter Lage.

Utsikten var verkligen ännu bättre än vad bilderna visade. Pga att vår vistelse ägde rum under COVID-19 så kunde vi endast stanna 3 av 10 nätter. Tillsammans med ägare/agent/vrbo löste vi situationen på ett mycket bra sätt för alla inblandade parter. Pga COVID-19 så blev incheckningen annorlunda, ingen visning av huset etc. därvav betyget.

The pool was cold even though we paid to have it set at the highest temperature other than that it was a lovely villa with great views. Others have mentioned about the tightness of the turn into the drive and how steep it is but when you have done it a couple of times you are used to it. Diana was excellent when we had a problem with the tv. Sorted very quickly. Really the problems mentioned are minor the overall experience was very good. ##### Ian W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 9 Apr 2019 #### So schön können Ferienhäuser sein Die Realität hat die Werbung übertroffen. Wir (4Personen) haben ein Feriendomizil vorgefunden, das in seiner Lage und Großzügigkeit bemerkenswert war. Geschmackvoll und mit Detailliebe eingerichtet, fehlte es uns an nichts. Das Raumangebot ist üppig und die Raumaufteilung lässt selbst bei Vollbelegung zu, dass man bei Bedarf eine "ruhige Ecke" für sich findet. Das gilt auch für den Außenbereich mit mehreren Ruhezonen. Alles sehr sauber und makellos. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sophie R., Le Thor France 21 Mar 2019 #### Merveilleux !

Conseil fortement ##### Jonathan G. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Diane B. 4 May 2018 #### Wonderful week! Beautiful villa with stunning views. Access road to property a little narrow if you have a large vehicle. Tastefully furnished but lacking in parts, no wardrobe or drawers in small bedroom and no mirror in another double. furnishings more like collectors antiques rather than suitable holiday home, I would have worried if small children were staying. Outside areas stunning and beautifully maintained. It would have been nice if certain provisions had been provided as part of welcome pack, coals for bbc and bin bags rather than being asked to provide them ourselves. We arrived late evening and although bread juice and fruit left, no milk. However, on the whole a beautiful villa in stunning area. ##### Diane B.

The pool table was a nice feature but the real stars were the amazing views from the various terraces. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The only area for improvement that is needed is the inadequate pool heating. Despite the fact that we paid €120 to have the pool heated to 24degrees the water remained so cold that we only braved the pool twice despite hot and sunny weather. Perhaps an insulated cover might help to stop the water getting really cold overnight? That's our only criticism - everything else about the property was absolutely first class.

Mecia the villa owner met us on arrival and showed us around her lovely villa. My wife, daughter, son in law and I had a great week. The villa is set high above the village of Calheta, with a long frontage facing South over the sea with mountain views. The village is an easy 30 minute drive from the Madeiran capital, Funchal. The local area is very pretty, green with running streams. The large 4 bed villa had everything, including a pool table which got very good use and an infinity pool. I'm sure we'll be going back. ##### Gordon C.

There was excellent support from the family- directions from the airport were accurate, we were met at the villa and shown around, the owners were attentive to our needs eg brought logs for the wood burner and sorted out internet problems on the same day. The villa has super views across both valley and beach/ coastline. Outdoor space is very well organised and equipped with tables, chairs, recliners and BBQ with table and chairs (that we used for breakfast). The villa was really clean and well looked after by maids. The kitchen was friendly to use. It was good to have a games room. The dining room was spacious and well equipped. We would certainly stay again. The restaurant at the bottom of the drive is excellent. The bars and restaurants on the marina below are excellent also- good food and lovely staff. There is a good supermarket there as well. There are plenty of coffee shops/ bakeries up the hill in the village also. We had not visited the west of the island before and were very impressed with coastal villages including Jardim do Mar and those between Calheta and Funchal. The description is right- you do need a car. Watch the entrance to the drive. We had a large vehicle and we really had to pull mirrors in, and approach the drive from uphill in order to avoid damaging the vehicle. We had two small problems with kitchen electrics- I only mention these as the family sorted them out on the same day. ##### Barbara M.

We were met by the lovely owner who showed us round and gave us an information booklet. The villa has great views all around and the patio area is completely private. The restaurant below the villa is excellent but our favourite was New Era on the marina front. You do need a car and the steep driveway takes a bit of getting used to but once we realised it was easier to go around the block and approach it downhill then it was much easier. We went to Funchal and the cable car is definitely worth the trip, we wished we hadn't bought a return and had come down on the toboggans. We also drove to Sao Vincent and along the North Coast which is stunning but our favourite place was Jardim do Mar which is right next to Calheta. We would definitely recommend this villa. It was really easy to book via Our Maderia and we were impressed with the efficient service and driving instructions etc. That together with the lovely welcome we received makes such a difference to your holiday. Many thanks to the owner and Our Madeira for a lovely holiday. ##### KAREN B.

The villa is beautifully decorated and furnished throughout (being the owners former family home) and provides everything you might need. The views out to the sea, overlooking the beach at Calheta are wonderful as you relax on a sun lounger or in the infinity pool. This was our second stay in Madeira and Calheta itself so we took things a bit easier. I can recommend you visit Calheta Diving Centre if you enjoy scuba diving, Pizza Naye in Loreto for wonderful pizza and Convento do Vinhas restaurant at the bottom of the road for a nice meal. We also visited the Porto Moniz natural pools again for a fun afternoon's sunbathing and swimming. Just one point to highlight is that a number of the surrounding properties do have dogs (and cockerels!) that stay out in the open and can make a bit of a racket at times, but we generally tuned it out. There is also some building work happening close by with the occasional noises being heard (cement mixer etc.) Overall we really enjoyed our stay and the villa was perfect for us. ##### John M.

The pool was great for cooling off on a hot day whilst enjoying great views out to sea (you can see dolphins swimming with the boats!). We found Calheta to be a great place to stay with plenty of local bars/restaurants to eat out, but also a great Base from which to explore other parts of Madeira. The only very slight negative was the noise from the local dogs and cockerels from early in the morning! ##### Lisa H. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [TravelodgeUK Hotels in Lutterworth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lutterworth-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-0-d180822--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near London Coliseum](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Coliseum-Hotels.0-l6078979-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Ladbrooke Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Ladbrooke-Hotel.h40026305.Hotel-Information) > > [The Views Baia - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Four-Views-Baia.h2775468.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Can Picafort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Can-Picafort-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6035246-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hostels Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hostels.d2205-aaHostels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotel Quintinha São João & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Hotel-Quintinha-Sao-Joao-Spa.h1589294.Hotel-Information) > > [Cavalieri Hotel Malta, a member of Radisson Individuals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Julians-Hotels-Cavalieri-Art-Hotel.h2290462.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Punta Cana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Punta-Cana-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d601906-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Castanheiro Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Castanheiro-Boutique-Hotel.h12618949.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Cliftonville](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cliftonville-Hotels.d3000699075.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Beaumont Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hexham-Hotels-The-Beaumont-Hotel.h82133.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Koufonisia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Koufonisia-Hotels.d6161079.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Bailey's Hotel London Kensington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Baileys-Hotel-London.h523223.Hotel-Information) > > [Barefoot Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Barefoot-Beach-Resort.h1375270.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Caju](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Caju-Le-Petit-Hotel.h41332904.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Copenhagen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copenhagen-Hotels.d178252.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel PortoBay Santa Maria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Hotel-Porto-Santa-Maria.h906083.Hotel-Information) > > [Quinta Jardins do Lago](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Quinta-Jardins-Do-Lago.h1063017.Hotel-Information) > > [Quinta Bela Sao Tiago](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Quinta-Bela-Sao-Tiago.h2336387.Hotel-Information) > > [Quinta Funchal Gardens – Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Quinta-Das-Vistas-Palace-Gardens.h921256.Hotel-Information) > > [Family-Friendly Hotels in Bordeaux](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bordeaux-Hotels-Family-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d6023322-tFamilyFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Evia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Evia.d6052533.Hotel-Destinations) ### Flights > [Flights from LON-All Airports to Grenoble - Isere](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lon/gnb/london-to-grenoble) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Zanzibar Town (ZNZ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/znz/london-to-zanzibar) ### Cars > [Van Car Hire in Stoke-on-Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Van-Car-Rentals-In-Stoke-On-Trent.d5701-tVan.Car-Rental-Guide-Class) > > [Car hire in Dubrovnik Old Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Dubrovnik-Old-Town.d6144439.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Packages > [Slovakia Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Slovakia.d162.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### Holiday Rentals > [Delft Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Delft-Holiday-Rentals.d5297.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) ### General > [Visit Roissy-en-France](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Roissy-En-France.dx10346)
