Cantinho da Calçada Near Same Hiking (with nice view, heat & air-condition)

We had a wonderful time here, the host was very friendly and welcoming! We appreciated your gifts to us very much. The pictures on the listing dont do it justice, its much better than it looks. Fabulous views from the terrace and bedroom. Really good communication meant we had no trouble finding it. Its got everything you need, is close to shops and quiet. 5 stars.

Perfect

Everything perfect, very clean, very kind owners, really good choice!

After a very detailed itinery we were a bit lost after arriving at the Caminho das Florenças ? but relatives of our host were already waiting for us and giving us a very warm welcome ? with typical local snacks and drinks from Madeira to enjoy during our stay. The view from the terrace and directly from the bed ??? is really breathtaking. Enjoying a glass of wine when the sun sets and having breakfast on the terrace in the morning were only some of our highlights. We could also harvest oranges, lemons and tangerines ? in the small garden belonging to the holiday house. And we really enjoyed our evening stays in the Bar do Russo which belongs to José and Mary. The poncha José creates is really worth tasting ?? Don‘t miss the bar with the blue awning - Mary and Joe do whatever they can to make you feel comfortable. Be curious to meet the locals and spend a bit of your time with them when staying at the bar ?

Everything you need, very friendly and helpfull hosts, clean and comfortable. Very nice area. Parking place walking distance including luggage.

This renovated rustic Madeiran guest house is up in the hills above the main town of Calheta, in Arco de Calheta parish. It is comfortable and fairly quiet. The hosts are extremely nice and accommodating and very responsive to anything that is needed, and were very helpful. Finding the property is somewhat difficult initially, both with Google maps (as warned) and even with the provided directions (which are a bit difficult to understand) but Jose' and Mary graciously met us in town when we called being lost, and led us to the property, showed us where to park and showed us into their guest home. For the uninitiated, driving up in these areas is an experience, so be prepared! There are some small limited local groceries and a few bars and snack bars nearby, but otherwise any other shopping or dining out will require an 8-10 min drive down toward the beach or into Calheta so we planned ahead. We acclimated as the week went on! We very much enjoyed the hospitality, being close to the high mountains and the Levadas, seeing the change of weather and the high mountain view of the valley, beach and the ocean. Jose' and Mary are extremely wonderful hosts and their home is very comfortable. It is a wonderfully remote, genuine Madeiran experience!

I have absolutely no complaints. This is a lovely place with kind hosts. Great value, lovely helpful accommodating hosts, very clean, and no traffic noise. The complimentary Portuguese treats were delightful too. The only noise was occasional barking and mooing. I loved staying here with my sibling and parent. I was sad to leave. There is a big master bedroom on the main floor, with a bathroom and large sliding doors that open onto the huge patio with hot tub. Really comfortable place with working internet. A few groceries and many household/kitchen tools at Bar do Russo (owned by host) less than a block away, and main grocery stores are a short drive away. Very steep hills and narrow streets but a respectful and cautious driving culture. Thank you for having us in your magical town!
