LOVE THIS LITTLE NOOK OF HAPPINESS

It’s very hard to narrow down this amazing experience!! Tanja is AMAZING!! The communication is spot on!!ANY questions you have about anything- she is there to help and very quick to respond . Madeira is very hilly and with a manual car- you have to be on your game. The villa was everything EVERYTHING and more!! The beds are comfortable- kitchen was fully stocked with all kinds of kitchen goodies! The views are breathtaking and the furniture was incredibly comfortable! We definitely will be back soon! Only issues were- not sure where to take the trash and the master bedroom AC wasn’t working- but- she was prompt to get workers booked to fix it- but the day they promised to be there - there was a PortugaFutbol game - and he called off sick. She was so apologetic- but the temp was perfect for no AC and it was still comfortable ❤️ I’d give this place a 10++++ star if I could. ❤️❤️ We will be back!

The perfect home away from home for a family stay in Madeira with the most incredible views.

Tanja and Andy are the best hosts we could have asked for during our 1 month stay in Madeira. My family of 4 stayed at the this amazing home and we absolutely love it. We also had 2 and then 3 additional friends come and join us for a short period of time during our stay. The house handled everyone so well. Every one of us had a comfortable bed and there was plenty of restrooms and shower in every floor. The game room was amazing, we loved playing in the foosball table, the pool table and the ping pong table. My husband enjoyed all the gym exercise equipment. We all had a blast playing with the board games as well. The bedrooms were all spacious and had amazing closet space for everyone. We never ran our of clean towels, which was so amazing! We also had a washer and a DRYER!! The headed pool was a hit with all the kids in the house, specially because they got to swim in the pool even on chilly days. The house had plenty of outdoor areas to sit and enjoy the views. The kitchen was big and super organized with absolutely everything you would need and plenty of everything. There are two access points to the house, which made bringing groceries an easy task. The main part of the house has the a beautiful open floorpan with the kitchen, dinning and living room. The entire length of that floor has sliding glass doors which not only provide a great breeze, but they give you the most amazing views of the that side of the island and the town of Arco da Calheta. The outdoor deck was one of our favorite spots to sit and enjoy watching the paraglider taking off from the mountain across the way and also seeing the clouds come in and out, there was some days we woke up in the clouds and that was incredible. We rented a car and we loved having the parking in the property and having an easy access to all the attractions to the island. Tanja and Andy were are the most incredible hosts, we visited during the holiday season and I mentioned we would be celebrating my son's birthday during our stay. Well, they surprised us with a fully decorated home for the holiday, a beautiful Christmas Tree and plenty of wrapped GIFTS for EVERYONE! I was so touched when Tanja showed me she had a Birthday cake & candles and a birthday card ready for my son's birthday in the freezer-that meant a lot to me. I was so touched that a host will do this for us & after our say, she also took care of shipping my shopping back home for me! & the house was spotless.They are simply the best!

Great villa

We had a lovely stay and Andy the owner was super responsive and helpful with everything! Very roomy for all. We were a group of 6 so we did have 2 cars which was a bit tricky in the car park but not a big deal with an automatic car. Pool was warm and we enjoyed the views very much. We cooked in after long days exploring and found everything we needed. My only regret as first time visitors is not staying closer to Funchal because the tunnels and the gas price!

Excellent house with spectacular views!

The house is very spacious and tastefully decorated. We loved the pool and the terrasses and the space in the living room/kitchen area. It' a 10 minute drive to the coast with some restaurants and a bigger supermarket but the next little supermarket is only 2 minutes away. You need a car and it should have a strong engine as hills are really steep. The view is just great, there's not only the atlantic ocean but also the entire valley to your feet. The only thing which was not so nice was that there are a lot of dogs aound who barked quasi the entire night but that's how it is in most southern Europe countries. The communication with Bill was great and he has provided lot's of very good informarion. We can absolutely recommend the house and would definitely come again!

Amazing views and beautiful villa

This was our first trip to Madeira, and my family and I loved it. The views from the villa are breathtaking, and you never tire of them. We totally enjoyed the pool, and it was actually hard to get motivated to leave and explore the rest of the island. We frequented the store in the village down the street which offers everything you could need while on holiday. The prices were super reasonable. We also discovered Casal Mendes-a blue sparkling wine. Totally appropriate for sipping at blue ocean villa. The hills are challenging whether walking or driving, but if walking, definitely a great cardio workout. We also would stop at the little café up a block from the villa. The people were nice and seemed to appreciate our attempts to speak Portuguese. The kitchen is modern and easy to use. We cooked several meals, and we even used the BBQ to grill fish. So good. The balcony was the perfect place to enjoy breakfast, coffee, cocktails etc. The sunsets were spectacular. All in all we had a great stay at the beautiful villa and hated to leave. Our only negative would be the dogs barking. One morning they barked incessantly for almost 2 hours. Definitely annoying, but closing the doors helped. Loved the villa and would definitely recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Tanja Holzhaus

Hello, We are Andy and Tanja and we live in the Netherlands. Andy is originally from England and I was born and raised in Amsterdam. We've been married for over 20 years and we love to travel whenever we can. We have our own company in IT and Photography which allows us to work from different locations. When we came to Madeira for the first time we just loved it immediately. After a few more visits we decided to look for a second house here and after more then 4 years we finally found 'the one' .

Madeira is so beautiful, versatile, safe and friendly. It has a vast history, culture, beautiful nature, unique sea water-swimming pools, a network of Levadas and mountain trails. You can go to the beach and catch some sun and then later set of in the ancient Lauris Lava (laurel tree Unesco protected forrest) and find yourself amidst the clouds. The weather is very nice throughout the year (give or take some windy or stormy days sometimes) and there are whales and dolphins swimming near by the coast. (there are several Sea-life watching trips with guaranteed sightings) There are many different and affordable restaurants with great local dishes and loads of little (Poncha = local alcoholic specialty) Poncha and traditional bars. For real clubbing and nightlife Funchal is the place to go. Most people speak (some) English so it's easy getting around without speaking Portugese, although a few words are always highly appreciated :)

Why they chose this property

Although we love Funchal and the surrounding area, and also many other different places around the island, Arco de Calheta has overall the best weather, more direct acces to the mountains and sea-life and a small (handmade) beach surrounded by a cute harbour and nice restaurants and 5* hotels. It is less busy and very central to go anywhere on the island.

This property was shown to us because we were in the area looking at another house. And while it was bigger then what we searched for, the moment we stepped upon the balcony we were sold! The view is all we ever wanted, the pool is an unexpected plus and the spacious house with it's modern and local features truly our style. Luckily it turned out that it was already a Holiday let with impressive reviews and that the property managers would keep running it for us as they did. They are a couple from England and Madeira and such wonderful service-minded and friendly people, that we dared to make the leap and here we are.

Although perfect at is we are looking at some future improvements and extra's, without taking away anything that made people love it so much so we truly hope we can make people love their stay their as much as we love to be there :)

What makes this property unique

Here I'm supposed to say what our UNIQUE benefits are and I'm not sure what 'unique' would be as not much is unique nowadays but I can say what WE love about the house; The view (oh had I already mentioned that?) the 10 x 3.5 infinity pool, the sunrise over the mountain on the left - sun all day - and then the sunset on the right into the ocean. The spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, the balconies top and poolside overlooking the ocean. (Even from the top floor you have constant view around thanks to the glass walls and windows) The side terrace with garden and BBQ.. The fact there is room for a full size game room and that everything is well kept and modern in style .I love to cook, so a fully equipped kitchen is a must and I love the granite cooking island.
I guess maybe in short it's better to ask what I don't like :) - The climb back up on foot with groceries - Taking the wrong road up (read OUR directions not Google maps!) in the car (Holland is as flat as a pancake so I have to get used to some of these steep hills- maybe their no bother to you) but other then that we just totally love the place.
