Arco da Calheta rentals with pool

Lovely property and fantastic hosts very much enjoyed our time there.

This is the second time we have stayed at Casa Das Flores. Its great. Spacious, clean and really well appointed. Great location and so quiet too. We simply love it and we will return. Thanks Camilla - look forward to booking again soon.

We were let down by another host on the island, and luckily found this villa. An excellent location for exploring the island, the villa is lovely, lots of space, very clean and first class facilities. Easy and helpful communication with the host. We had a lovely week. Thank you.

Beautiful house, well looked after and thoughtfully included everything we needed. Swimming pool was fantastic. Lots of things to do nearby if you have a car. Brilliant host who looked after us very well and made sure we had an amazing holiday.

You often hear that the photos don't do the property justice, these really don't. Our initial conversations with Olga were assisted by Google translate as my German is as non existent as her English - and they had the support of a local, English speaking lady to show us around which was great. The property was spotlessly clean and really well equipped with coffee machines and a nice welcome pack of fruit and wine - and a nice touch of villa monogrammed dressing gowns. The view from the terrace over the valley below and the village and sea beyond was stunning - we never tired of it. The initial drive up to the house (you will need a car) was a little surprising and hilly but you get used to it after a while. All in all, a beautiful place to stay, we had a wonderfully relaxing and luxurious week, thankyou so much to Olga and Alexandra.

Hugo and his team are very welcoming and helpful before and on arrival. The view is wonderful at all times of the day and the accommodation perfect for our party of seven. We hired cars for the duration, a must to enjoy what Madeira has to offer. We very much enjoyed the local village and various spots along this southern coast line. Calheta beach offers an array of restaurants and a supermarket close by. A very chilled and enjoyable holiday on this sunny side of the island.

The property is very well equipped & the outside bbq was great. Made use of the washer, so took far less clothes. It is quite a steep walk to the property from the road where there is a local bar, so just bought enough shopping to be able to carry down in one go. We didn't hire a car, opted for the local taxis to take us on half day trips around the west & east of the island, plus they were very knowledgeable. Spent a full day in Funchal (check bank holidays as museums, cathedral & market were closed) Cable car, tropical gardens & toboggan run were impressive. It is a 30 minute walk up to Loreto from the villa, where there is a fantastic pizza restaurant. There are also a few bars & a small local supermarket. The supermarket in Calheta is a lot bigger & cheaper, which takes an hour to walk, all downhill & less than 10 Euros back. Take binoculars as the dolphins swim by the fishing nets, which is where we saw them on a boat trip. You could see the villa & it's prominent position from the boat & it is a good way to see the coastline. Spent an evening in Ribeira Brava, which has nice bars, shops & restaurants. Had a good meal at Muralha & not expensive. The church was beautiful & we went to the Ethnography museum, which is well worth a visit. We did the Rabacal walk to the waterfalls, which was beautiful, but very busy so go early in the morning. You need decent footwear & a torch for the tunnel. Duarte was very helpful & generous with plenty of fruit. Would highly recommend.

We enjoyed our fortnight here last summer so much that we booked it again and stayed for another two weeks this year. It is a stunningly beautiful property with huge rooms that are well furnished plus a lovely heated swimming pool. We learned our lesson last year and hired a more powerful car this year which made it so much easier negotiating the steep hill and hairpin bends to access the property
