Stay at Casa do Julio

Nice and really large house at the hill side with nice views. Pool is smaller than it looks on the photos, though. Quite norrow and steep road towards the house.

Hello Martin, I am glad that you enjoyed the house and it's amazing views, that are only possible due to the location of the property and it's challenging accesses. In regards to the swimming pool, it's the first time that anyone made that comment.

Lovely!

Property was great - lots of space and light, was clean and comfortable. The pool was great for cooling off on a hot day whilst enjoying great views out to sea (you can see dolphins swimming with the boats!). We found Calheta to be a great place to stay with plenty of local bars/restaurants to eat out, but also a great Base from which to explore other parts of Madeira. The only very slight negative was the noise from the local dogs and cockerels from early in the morning!

Wonderful property, great view

The house is located on a hill in a quiet residential area, just 5 min. from Calheta waterfront/marina and 1 hour from Funchal Airport. Three terraces offer fantastic views overlooking the sea or mountain side . We very much enjoyed the tranquility and the easy access to the majority of the hiking areas. The local supermarket offers a quite wide range of fresh fish and all we needed during our stay. There's a restaurant in walking distance and some in Calheta (waterfront/marina or uphill) . This property is very well kept and equipped, it met all our expectations. We enjoyed the spaciousness (2 adults only), the outside barbecue area and used the heated pool extensively. The agency as well as the owner provided excellent service, we received all relevant information in advance and a warm welcome upon arrival. Both were approachable at any time and very helpful. Many thanks. We'd love to come back !

Fantastiskt hus och utsikt

Fantastiskt rymligt och härligt hus med magisk utsikt. Utsikten var verkligen ännu bättre än vad bilderna visade. Pga att vår vistelse ägde rum under COVID-19 så kunde vi endast stanna 3 av 10 nätter. Tillsammans med ägare/agent/vrbo löste vi situationen på ett mycket bra sätt för alla inblandade parter. Pga COVID-19 så blev incheckningen annorlunda, ingen visning av huset etc. därvav betyget. Men också helt förståeligt pga rådande situation.

A good place to stay

The house was a delight although not the cat with the kittens who appeared at the dining room doors on most occasions when we got back from day/evening out. The pool was cold even though we paid to have it set at the highest temperature other than that it was a lovely villa with great views. Others have mentioned about the tightness of the turn into the drive and how steep it is but when you have done it a couple of times you are used to it. Diana was excellent when we had a problem with the tv. Sorted very quickly. Really the problems mentioned are minor the overall experience was very good.

So schön können Ferienhäuser sein

Die Realität hat die Werbung übertroffen. Wir (4Personen) haben ein Feriendomizil vorgefunden, das in seiner Lage und Großzügigkeit bemerkenswert war. Geschmackvoll und mit Detailliebe eingerichtet, fehlte es uns an nichts. Das Raumangebot ist üppig und die Raumaufteilung lässt selbst bei Vollbelegung zu, dass man bei Bedarf eine "ruhige Ecke" für sich findet. Das gilt auch für den Außenbereich mit mehreren Ruhezonen. Alles sehr sauber und makellos.

Wonderful week!

Beautiful villa with stunning views. Access road to property a little narrow if you have a large vehicle. Tastefully furnished but lacking in parts, no wardrobe or drawers in small bedroom and no mirror in another double. furnishings more like collectors antiques rather than suitable holiday home, I would have worried if small children were staying. Outside areas stunning and beautifully maintained. It would have been nice if certain provisions had been provided as part of welcome pack, coals for bbc and bin bags rather than being asked to provide them ourselves. We arrived late evening and although bread juice and fruit left, no milk. However, on the whole a beautiful villa in stunning area.

Thank you for your comments. We have had lots of families in the past and children love the house, so nothing to be concerned about. Sorry about the milk, it must have been an oversight.

Fabulous house with amazing views

The house was excellent in every way. The pool table was a nice feature but the real stars were the amazing views from the various terraces. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The only area for improvement that is needed is the inadequate pool heating. Despite the fact that we paid €120 to have the pool heated to 24degrees the water remained so cold that we only braved the pool twice despite hot and sunny weather. Perhaps an insulated cover might help to stop the water getting really cold overnight? That's our only criticism - everything else about the property was absolutely first class.

Thank you for submitting your review and we are happy that you enjoyed the house, the views and that the owner was helpful. We were surprised to read your comments about the pool heating because as we understand from the owner, when you brought this to his attention he attended immediately and showed you that the temperature was in fact at 26º, 2 degrees more than you had paid for. Sometimes with the hot sunshine the water temperature can feel cooler than it is.

Fabulous villa, our best yet.

Mecia the villa owner met us on arrival and showed us around her lovely villa. My wife, daughter, son in law and I had a great week. The villa is set high above the village of Calheta, with a long frontage facing South over the sea with mountain views. The village is an easy 30 minute drive from the Madeiran capital, Funchal. The local area is very pretty, green with running streams. The large 4 bed villa had everything, including a pool table which got very good use and an infinity pool. I'm sure we'll be going back.

A fantastic holiday villa

6 adults stayed for a long holiday. There was excellent support from the family- directions from the airport were accurate, we were met at the villa and shown around, the owners were attentive to our needs eg brought logs for the wood burner and sorted out internet problems on the same day. The villa has super views across both valley and beach/ coastline. Outdoor space is very well organised and equipped with tables, chairs, recliners and BBQ with table and chairs (that we used for breakfast). The villa was really clean and well looked after by maids. The kitchen was friendly to use. It was good to have a games room. The dining room was spacious and well equipped. We would certainly stay again. The restaurant at the bottom of the drive is excellent. The bars and restaurants on the marina below are excellent also- good food and lovely staff. There is a good supermarket there as well. There are plenty of coffee shops/ bakeries up the hill in the village also. We had not visited the west of the island before and were very impressed with coastal villages including Jardim do Mar and those between Calheta and Funchal. The description is right- you do need a car. Watch the entrance to the drive. We had a large vehicle and we really had to pull mirrors in, and approach the drive from uphill in order to avoid damaging the vehicle. We had two small problems with kitchen electrics- I only mention these as the family sorted them out on the same day.

Beautiful villa with a great view

Casa do Julio was a beautiful quality villa and much bigger than we thought. We were met by the lovely owner who showed us round and gave us an information booklet. The villa has great views all around and the patio area is completely private. The restaurant below the villa is excellent but our favourite was New Era on the marina front. You do need a car and the steep driveway takes a bit of getting used to but once we realised it was easier to go around the block and approach it downhill then it was much easier. We went to Funchal and the cable car is definitely worth the trip, we wished we hadn't bought a return and had come down on the toboggans. We also drove to Sao Vincent and along the North Coast which is stunning but our favourite place was Jardim do Mar which is right next to Calheta. We would definitely recommend this villa. It was really easy to book via Our Maderia and we were impressed with the efficient service and driving instructions etc. That together with the lovely welcome we received makes such a difference to your holiday. Many thanks to the owner and Our Madeira for a lovely holiday.
