Between the Mountains & the Sea

This sleek and modern villa is beautifully designed to help you make the most of your Portuguese holiday, with its own private pool and alfresco dining area. Enjoy good food prepared in the fully-equipped kitchen or on the barbecue as you enjoy the expansive views of the surrounding mountains and distant sea horizon, and work on that perfectly bronze holiday tan on the sun loungers by the calm waters. In the evening, the living space is perfect for gathering on the sofa for a movie night while the sun sets outside and the stars blanket the sky. In the morning, you'll be able to open the blinds to stunning views from all three bedrooms, letting the sunlight bathe the whole home in natural light.

The Calheta village centre is just a short drive away, where you can grab a coffee at the local cafe and soak up the local culture. Nature lovers and those looking to get active on their trip will enjoy scenic walks through the breathtaking Madeiran mountains, accessible right from Arco da Calheta. Drive into the resort of Calheta with its manmade sandy beaches and fantastic local restaurants and shops, or drive a little further to the larger town of Ribeira Brava. The island capital of Funchal is easily accessible by car for those who want a day in the city. At the end of the day, return to your little patch of paradise and watch the sunset over a glass of wine.
