Antiga Fábrica da Manteiga – Traditional House

Antiga Fábrica da Manteiga is a unique property that combines tradition, history and comfort, located in Arco da Calheta, one of the island’s most pleasant and sunniest areas. This former butter factory has been carefully adapted for holiday accommodation, preserving original pieces and museum-style elements that pay tribute to traditional butter production, visible upon entering the ground-floor living room.

The main house features a cozy living room, a fully equipped kitchen and a bathroom with a shower. On the first floor, there are two bedrooms: one with a double bed and an en-suite bathroom, and a second bedroom with two single beds, ideal for children or friends.

Outdoors, guests can enjoy a pleasant open-air area with a dining table, sun loungers and an outdoor shower, perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach or exploring the island.

The property also includes an independent annex, known as “Casa 4 Netinhos,” consisting of a studio with four single beds, a bathroom with a shower and a small support kitchen, offering additional privacy and flexibility.

With a maximum capacity of 7 guests, this property is ideal for families or groups seeking comfort, space and a special connection to local history.
