Our villa offers everything you need for a relaxing, comfortable stay on the stunning Madeira coast. Set within banana groves on a terraced mountainside in a peaceful hamlet, the property features a private, south-facing swimming pool (9m x 4m) with panoramic sea views, sun loungers, umbrellas, an outdoor shower, and a large tiled sunbathing patio. Pool towels are provided, and access is via steps to the lower level. The pool is completely private and never shared.

The villa has 5 large and spacious bedrooms spread across two floors. Three rooms feature king-sized double beds, while two rooms include single beds (one with 2, the other with 3), making it perfect for groups of up to 11 guests. All beds are fitted with firm memory foam mattresses, 100% cotton bed linen, and hypoallergenic bedding, ensuring a restful and comfortable night's sleep for all.

Both levels of the villa include fully equipped kitchens with premium appliances from Bosch, Samsung, Teka, and Hotpoint. The upper-level family kitchen also includes a solid wood dining table and chairs, microwave, fridge/freezer, and a generous selection of pots, pans, and cooking utensils—everything you need to prepare and enjoy home-cooked meals with ease.

The upper-floor living room opens onto a private patio with incredible sea and mountain views—the perfect spot for relaxing evening drinks as the village lights twinkle below. This level includes three of the five bedrooms and the main living spaces.

    Our stay was fantastic from start to finish (we were a group of 6 friends). As mentioned in the listing, it’s really two apartments (connected by an outdoor set of stairs). The top apartment has a huge living room with fantastic views and plenty of sofas, a large kitchen with everything you would need to cook meals (as well as a big table to sit at) and 3 bedrooms (two double beds and a room with 3 singles). The second lower apartment also had a kitchen as well as living room area with a pool table and dartboard (great for evenings in), as well as twin room and double bedroom. To top it all off a large pool area with lots of space to sit around and also with spectacular views. Outside there’s a BBQ and a great swing-seat which is ideal for watching the sunset.Emma and Quim are great hosts, always there to answer questions, resolve any issues and providing clear instructions for meeting them to check in (as well as tips on the local area). If you are looking at the listing, do not hesitate to book as it’s absolutely fantastic and ideal for a large group of adults. We’d love to return one day.

    My family truly enjoyed our stay in Arco da Calheta. The hosts, Emma & Quim were so kind and welcoming. They gave us wonderful local suggestions, including visiting a town festival…which was definitely a highlight on our trip! We loved the ability to spread out between the two levels of the home. The pool and rec room were fun additions. The location was great for our activities, like the Fanal Forest (a must see!), sunny beaches in Calheta, exploring seaside villages, the banana museum, and dune buggy rides. We felt well cared for and comfortable in this rental home!

    We loved the house. It was big enough to give everyone plenty of space. The pool was excellent and the boys loved the games room. Overall, as a family of 8 we had a wonderful holiday. Emma & Quim are friendly helpful hosts.

    We had a wonderful time. The property is lovely with fantastic views overlooking the banana plans and the owners are wonderful. They couldn’t do enough for us. We had a few teething problems with Wi-Fi and they immediately had someone around to fix it. They were so attentive. It’s a lovely place that’s quiet restful and relaxing. There weren’t any negatives to highlight. Our group did hope to be closer to a restaurant or a little bar that was walking distance. The one beside the villa only opens once per week. However l, there was a great gym nearby along with hiking trails and we could drive down to Calheta within 10 mins. Overall, I’d highly recommended this place for families and friends alike. Really well set up and an absolute pleasure to spend time at. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay. We hope to be back very soon!

    Excellent property, well equipped. Kids enjoyed the games room, beautiful views, pool delightful although a bit shallow Quim and Emma great hosts and whole family x3 generations enjoyed fun night out with them in a local bar near by. Layout worked really well for two families as two separate floors meant you could retreat a have your own space if needed. The local fish restaurant ‘Leme’ recommended by Quim & Emma was excellent, we ended up going twice. A great holiday and great fun.

    We were delighted with this villa - it was luxurious, the bedrooms spacious and comfortable, the kitchen well equipped with everything you could ask for, including a coffee machine, panini grill, indoor pizza oven, and large fridge-freezer. Even the ice cube tray had been filled for us. The annex was also well equipped, spacious, and very comfortable. There is more than ample indoor and outdoor seating, catering for both those who like sun and the shade. The pool is gorgeous and there are plenty of loungers with cushions provided, and two large umbrellas for when shade is required. I cannot express how fantastic the views are from this villa - they are absolutely breathtaking- and the lounge area has a large window one side of it so you see the views every time you walk into it. The games room was well equipped with pool table and darts and provided good entertainment in the evenings we stayed in. The villa was immaculately clean, and it was a huge bonus that beach towels were provided. The beach nearby is lovely and sandy and there is a supermarket nearby which is very convenient. The owners, Emma and Quim, live in the villa upstairs and were so incredibly helpful and responsive whenever we needed anything, or had questions to ask about where to eat, and were able to book taxis for us at a discounted rate. Would not hesitate to recommend and would certainly stay here again. Thank you for a lovely holiday Emma and Quim!

    We had a wonderful stay at Casa Vista do Ledo. The property is spacious, clean and very well equipped and the view from the villa is out of this world. Quim and Emma were excellent hosts and Quim was always available to help with anything we needed. We also really appreciated the Poncha that they brought us to sample. Calheta is a brilliant place with two great beaches with safe swimming which was perfect as we had young children with us. It was also an excellent base for exploring the island. We hope to return soon!

    This villa is pretty nice for a big group of persons. We were 11. Actually, the owners are living just above the private part of the villa that is rented. The house is really well equiped : toilet paper, dishwasher tablets, detergent... Quim is really friendly and available for any request or question ! The view is gorgeous. Everything corresponds to the ad. Thank you !
