    The house was extremely clean and comfortable. It had everything you needed, the fireplace was welcome in evening (we did visit in November)and owners left firewood for us which was great. Lovely hot shower and garden beautiful. Parking on road outside but was easy. Overall would thoroughly recommend this house.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Karen's beautifully restored accommodation. She spoiled us with homemade cakes and desserts. The only downside was the poor internet connection, which usually only worked at night.We can highly recommend Karen's cottage.

    We really loved this house. It looks small from the outside, but inside it is big enough and everything is there. It was a pity that we could not enjoy the nice outside space because the weather was very bad when we were there.

    A little traditional stone hut, carefully renovated containing all necessary things for a satisfying holiday stay. We found a washing machine even with washing powder. This is ideal for sportive hiking holidays. The kitchen was well- stuffed and even offered waste-bags, salt and sugar. We travelled in winter. So it was very comfortable to light the log burner in the living room to have cozy evenings. The house has a very nice view over blooming busshes (even in winter!!!) down to the sea.It is an ideal base to discover the island. One of the levada walks starts some hundred meters from the house. The landlord offered a lot of information, books and maps in the house. Everything was prepared perfectly, the check- in and check-out without any problems. We can really recommend.

    Great property in a good location...not as peaceful as expected as the road next to it is quite busy. We had a wonderful walking holiday.Thank you.

    Karen has done a fabulous job renovating this lovely property. It has the perfect layout, from top terrace views watching the sun setting with a handy BBQ. To the lower terrace where you can soak up the sun surrounded by a delightful planted garden. You will have all you need inside too. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the local bar/supermarket watching the comings and goings of the village, with the help of a few Ponchas. We would highly recommend this cute villa to anyone looking to experience the real village life of Madeira.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cozy cottage. The cottage was very clean and perfectly peaceful. Close to markets, restaurants and cafes. Calheta is perfectly situated on the island where it is easy to drive to most areas.
