Traditional house. Fantastic sea view. Large outdoor spaces with barbecue.

The house was just what we hoped for, a lot of space, clean and very well equipped. Outside there was a large terrace with an amazing view over the Atlantic. The owner did everything she could to make us comfortable. We can give the best recommendations.

Lovely location, nice and quiet and the sea views are fantastic.

We had absolutely lovely vacations with our 14-months-old daughter on Madeira in the beautiful Casa da Rainha. We spent nearly 3 weeks in February in this great house in Calheta. Located close to the city Center with shopping possibilities of Calheta, Casa da Rainha is just a 5 minutes drive up the mountains, the beautiful sand beach of Calheta again is only a 5 minute drive away. The house itself is very cosy and has got 4 beautiful teraces, so you can enjoy the sun at every moment of the day - and you get to see the sun quite often - even if the weather forecast is bad and most of the island is covered in clouds, Calheta obviously is quite a sunny spot! It is very quiet up there, and there is nothing like enjoying the sun set with a glass of wine on one of the teraces. The rooms are tidy, clean and comfortable. The fire place makes the living room very cosy when it is getting colder in the evenings and provides enough warmth for the ground floor; in the rooms in the first floor there are electric heatings, so we had no problems at all to keep it warm enough for our little daughter. The kitchen is very well equipped and so are the bathrooms. Mrs. and Mr. Goncalves were very friendly and helpful, and we were welcomed by a basket of fresh fruits and great Portuguese wine. Also, the directions from the Airport were very detailed and we had no problems finding the house. We would definitely recommend getting a rental car, because Calheta is quite a good spot for day trips to the southern coast, the mountains or even the northern coast. All in all, we had a wonderful time in Casa da Rainha and would strongly recommend this house to everyone who wants to spend relaxed vacations on this beautiful Island!!!

The house and gardens were very well maintained. The house had beautiful views with fantastic sunsets. The owner was very helpful and friendly. We would highly recommend staying in this villa.

A nice, clean, house with a good outlook and good sun exposure, in a convenient location for exploring the beautiful exotic island of Madeira. I think it is about 600 metres above sea-level. The owners are very friendly and speak English and other languages. It is equipped with all one might ever want, but it is marred a little by a noisy thin floor overhead, creaky beds and a hot-water system that needs upgrading. There is only one indoor toilet/shower-room (we did not use the outdoor one, but it might be useful in the summer). It overlooks the main road nearby and is adjacent to a fairly busy local road. There is a supermarket not far away, a car is essential. I recommend highly this property for people who prefer the country to the city.

The Casa da Rainha is a great and quiet get-away, up in the mountains above Calheta, yet close to the town. in less than 5 minutes you can reach the beautiful Calheta beach, supermarket, restaurants etc. The Casa itself has been carefully restored with respect for the traditional style of the house; it is spacious and offers everything you need for a relaxed holiday.There are terraces almost around the house so you can catch every bit of sun (or shadow) you want. We especially appreciated the little herb and vegetable garden that we were invited to use.

The house is located on a beautiful spot and is just perfect in his own way. All you need is available in and around the house. Also is the in- and exterior of the house of a very high level. It was our first stay in Madeira and surely it will not be our last. The couple who own this house are very friendly and helpful. The made our stay even more perfect as the whole Island did, Hopefully we can stay here again very soon. .

everything was really good. The owners even installed a small heater in one of the bedrooms, which does not seem to be that common on Madeira. Thanks again for letting us stay at your house!

We had an amazing vacation in Madeira and I must say the house contributed for that. It is a very beautiful house, with a pretty garden, with an excellent location, close to amazing hikes, levadas, beach, mountains... It was also very clean and had litterally everything one might need! The guests, Vanda and Carlos were very nice and waited for us with a smile way beyond the time we planned to arrive, they made us imediately feel welcome, inviting us to use everything we wanted in the house. They really made us feel very comfortable! It is very a peaceful place, far away from the city, where you can relax and enjoy the sunset every evening. Even though a car is needed to get there, you have a small cafe and a small supermarket with fresh bread everyday within a walking distance. I recommend this house to anyone who wants to visit the real Madeira.

This house is perfect. It has everything you need and is very well equipped. The house is finished to a high standard and is very modern. We have rented a few different properties around Calheta and this is one of the nicest we have stayed in. A car is definitely recommended but that would be no different to any other house you stay at in this area. The owner is friendly and welcoming and very helpful. She is close by should you have any queries. We would stay here again and recommend to others.
