Arco da Calheta Villa

On arrival we were met by the host, we had both arrived on a late flight, so timed well for key collection, He quickly showed us what was needed and left us to settle, also very responsive on whatsapp for any questions. The villa its self, was perfect for us, the master bedroom was very comfortable. The villa was immaculately cleaned. All things thought of, iron, hair dryer, clean towels for pool and shower etc. Facilities are lovey, the pool is best in the morning/ early afternoon if the suns out, plenty big enough and was an ok temp, to follow the sun early evening the roof top balcony is a perfect spot with an amazing view! The area is mostly quiet with a stunning sea view. My husband particularly enjoyed the large tele that worked with his air drop for watching the motor racing.

The oven is a tad slow but other than that great kitchen equipment. You definitely need a car! There are a couple of bars in walking distance but up hill at least 20 mins! The nearest supermarket is a good 30 min walk again up hill!

La maison est très bien située, proche des grands axes, mais dans un endroit calme avec une belle vue sur la mer. Très grande et bien agencée. La piscine est un vrai plus après une journée de randonnée. Equipement multimédia au top. Litterie de qualité.

Le seul vrai défaut est le manque de chauffe eau, ce qui vous fait attendre longtemps pour avoir de l'eau chaude. Uniquement un petit chauffe eau à gaz en bas. Aussi avoir un peu plus de vaisselle.

La barbacoa, la piscina, las camas muy cómodas, las vistas al océano, la plaza de garaje, la amplitud de todas las estancias

El acceso al camino de entrada a la casa. Hay que dar vuelta más arriba para acceder al camino entrando desde arriba.

For two of us - great choice. Huge house with everything we needed. + For aircon, without it it would be cold. Really close to the sea by car, 6 min to the closest supermarkets by car, 20 min to popular levadas. Easy check in and check out. Btw, we had a small SUV(ford puma), and it was not a problem to get to the house, but still, some parking skills are required. Try to enter the road from uphill and it's so much easier.

The pool was cold as it's only March, but we expected it based on the reviews.

Schoon, compleet, ruim en mooier dan op de plaatjes

Het binnen rijden van het straatje was pittig.

We had a great stay! The house is close (6min drive) to the supermarket where you can find everything you could need, it is spacious and well equiped. It is located in a quiet area, although a bit far from the most known hiking trails, but perfect for exploring the ones that are not so famous.

Excellent house in a great location but you need a car! (Like the whole island in my view) The house was overlooking Banana plantations, the mountains and the sea. Very quiet. Ideal spot

Great location, big size, beautiful a views and the host is very accommodating.

Be careful as you are in a middle of a banana plantation so there are ants everywhere. Do not leave out any food. Some items in the kitchen broken just needs updating. Also the pool can only be used in the day as it seems to shut off the jets in the evening and gets filled with bugs.
