Calhau is a lovely typical stone cottage – the main house of our property, where everything was started. Initially, it was our family rural house to spend weekends and holidays in a calm and natural place away from the city centre of Funchal. We started the first restoration process of this house in 1995 and, now, we are more than happy to share this important and special place with you. Calhau is the ideal place to spend holidays in Madeira Islands with your family or friends. Being in Calhau’s garden you will feel the serenity of the natural sounds, the calmness of the air breeze and the immensity of the ocean – a true peace of mind that you will always remember.
Calm, rest and a real example of Madeira Island’s lifestyle. Familiar, romantic, cosy and peaceful! You can feel the smell of the gardens, relax in the swimming pool, enjoy wonderful sunsets, discover our agricultural land with fruit trees, vegetables and aromatic herbs.
The garden area has a good space to allow a good contact with nature, enjoying the pure air, the agricultural sounds and the sun.
On our garden, we have several plants and native flowers: banana trees, palm trees, yam, cardinal, cacti, jasmine, daisies, "maçaroco", elephant foot, angel trompets...
We can also find a well with permanent running water with fish and frogs.
In the garden exist some water springs that can be found throughout the year, even so with bigger abundance in the winter. Part of this water is accumulated and used on the irrigation of plants, trees and orchard.
Special features
The cottage has free wireless internet and access to the gardens and pool area. If you wish to use the aromatic herbs from the orchard, you´re Welcome! Outside, there´s a parking place for your car.
We are located on the western part of Madeira Island, Calheta in the village of Arco da Calheta.
Leaving the airport, follow the expressway in the direction of Funchal - Ribeira Brava - Ponta do Sol - Arco da Calheta. There is a roundabout, follow the direction Ledo. Turn left onto "Rocha de Gouveia" Street. 1 km ahead on your right, there is a sign stating "Calhau Grande", which points the way to the car park of the cottages.

Hier stimmt einfach alles. Das Cottage Levada war unser Zuhause auf Zeit und wir fühlten uns einfach nur wohl und super herzlich Willkommen geheißen von der gesamten Familie. Es ist, als ob man im Paradies gelandet ist. Der wundervolle Garten, der wahnsinns Ausblick,die Liebe zum Detail , alles perfekt. Uns wurde so viel Freundlichkeit entgegen gebracht und Tipps um die Insel zu erkunden. Es war unser Traumurlaub, eine unbeschreiblich schöne Erfahrung diese Insel und Menschen kennengelernt zu haben. Tausend Dank
