Eira Cottage: A Charming Getaway with an Ocean View!

Step by step, through a verdant staircase, you will reach this charming and typical Madeiran cottage. A picturesque house, built of stone and wood, that resembles a shelter. Cottage Eira is an authentic getaway to spend a quiet retreat on our beautiful island. Here you can enjoy magnificent views over the local setting and the Atlantic Ocean. Let yourself be immersed by this unique nature.

Cottage Eira belongs to Calhau Grande, a group of 8 typical self-catering cottages in Arco da Calheta with breath-taking panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean. It is a simple and genuine haven for those looking for a quiet escape and a real experience of Madeira Island’s lifestyle.

Deployed on private terraces, the rustic oceanfront cottages, which have been carefully and eco-friendly restored with love and care by our Family Gouveia, suit the natural environment and are surrounded by tropical gardens. You can feel the smell of the flowers, relax by the swimming pool, enjoy wonderful sunsets and discover our agricultural land with fruit trees, vegetables and aromatic herbs. It is a familiar, romantic and peaceful place away from the stressful city living!

If you are looking for a relaxing vacation in Madeira Island, cottage Eira is a great place for you! This is a comfortable house with two stories. On the ground floor, you will find the living space, the kitchenette area and a bathroom. Upstairs, there is a mezzanine bedroom with a triangular shaped window to the ocean and the local surroundings. Lying in bed, you can rest and meditate with the ocean in the background.
