Villa holiday rentals in Arco da Calheta

We absolutely loved staying at Isabel's Villa! It was among our top Airbnb experiences. Patricia was a fantastic host, very communicative and willing to answer questions and facilitate transportation arrangements. Her father, Carlos, greeted us upon arrival and checked in on us daily. We loved learning about the history of their home and the women each of the villas is named after. We also fell in love with Masha, Carlos' adorable doggie. The villa was exactly as pictured, and the hosts left us wine, fruit, and snacks. The view from the villa and pool area is spectacular. We were lucky enough to be there during the Atlantic Festival and watched the fireworks display over Funchal bay from the pool area. Being on the outer edges of Funchal and in a neighborhood meant it was quieter, serene - yet only a 15 minute walk to restaurants. We highly recommend Isabel's Villa and look forward to staying there (or in one of their other villas) again in the future!

We had a truly wonderful stay in Calheta! The house is absolutely beautiful, with stunning views, a lush, well-maintained garden, and a lovely swimming pool that gets sun all day. We were a group of six adults plus a baby, and the space was perfect for us. The house was incredibly well equipped - especially the kitchen, which had everything we needed, including thoughtful basics like napkins, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Beach towels were provided for everyone, and we were pleasantly surprised to find a compost box - such a nice touch! It’s also very baby-friendly, with a high chair and a comfy baby bed, which made our stay much easier. The location is peaceful and relaxing, though you’ll need a car to get around and do groceries. A big thank you to our wonderful hosts, Didier and Graziela, who were super responsive and incredibly kind. We felt very welcome and well taken care of. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing and memorable getaway!

Big villa for us three tht went would definitely book again and could take the whole family. Lot of room and was an easy home base to explore the island.

It was a fantastic place to stay with a great view from the balcony! Thank you for having us!

We had a fantastic time on the island. In addition to the nature that makes Madeira so fascinating, we were also able to spend some very relaxing days in our accommodation. Everything was just like in the pictures, so we could start our vacation with a great feeling. The accommodation was modern, clean and very luxurious with a pool and the number of rooms, each with its own bathroom. And who wouldn't want to wake up with a view of the sea? Wonderful. Henrique was also easy to contact if we had any questions and check-in with the key box was very simple. There is a small supermarket in this small town if you need anything. Otherwise, Calheta is not far away with larger shopping facilities. There are a few restaurants within walking distance of the accommodation, although the accommodation with its large kitchen and outdoor grill is of course also perfect for a meal. Thank you for a wonderful time in Madeira, we'd love to come back!

We really enjoyed our stay at Rui's beautiful home! We were in awe of the view the moment we arrived. The house was in pristine condition and looked exactly as in the pictures. Our family of 5 was very comfortable. Rui also left lots of goodies for us, which was appreciated, since we arrived late in the evening. There was also lots of books and toys that our kids played with everyday before and after we went to explore the island. I would not hesitate to come back and would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of booking!

Karol place is definitely a home away home, you relax soon as you step through the door. Very peaceful which is what we like. But also not far from anything. Communication with Karol was great. The lavada walks that start about 2 min up from the villa are definitely worth a stroll, one will take you to Panoest cafe and the other way to Bar Do Papagaio.

One of the best I’ve ever stayed at. The place was so spacious and open, yet felt like at home and cozy. Everything we needed was readily available/ easily accessible. The home is perched up in Ponta do Sol, so the view is of the homes below, and then the drop off to the ocean. Private pool was clean and big enough for our family of 7. Private parking is a gamechanger anywhere in Portugal, and you have a whole driveway which fit our enormous van. Lots of good hikes in every direction so you never feel like you’re driving too much, everything is about 40 minutes from this location, even the other side of the island. Host was so great responsive despite the hour difference from where she is located. Thank you so much for our stay we loved it.

The property easily lives up to the description and the pictures. The houses are fully equipped, very nicely decorated and comfortable. The swimming pools offer stunning unobstructed views of the ocean during the day and of the sky at night. There are no road noises, the place is truly calm. Grocery stores are a few minutes away by car, as are restaurants. Numerous hikes can be found in the region. The host is very reactive and will provide many recommandations related to restaurants and activities. Renting both houses to two families is a great way to spend time together while also having some privacy. I would go back there without any hesitation.

Karine and her family have been super sweet and helpful. We were a family of 6 spanning several generations, and the house is perfect for this. Highly recommended. Everything was new and worked flawlessly. Best recommendations from Kenneth.

The house is extremely well located, in a quiet area with a stunning sea view. It is the ideal place to rest and enjoy the scenery. The house is equipped with everything needed for a comfortable and worry-free stay. It was a great experience — I highly recommend it!

Fantastic views, really quiet but easy to get to places. Great villa, would be happy to stay again when next in beautiful Madeira

Beautiful, clean, open and inviting home! Jeanne and her family were wonderful hosts! Quick and easy trip into Funchal but so nice to have the privacy! Thank you so much!!

Beautiful house overlooking Funchal & ocean. House was well equipped with everything you may need during your stay (pool towels, baby high chair, gym equipment, fresh linens & very well stocked kitchen appliances). Short drive to shops & restaurants. The house is on a steep hill, you will likely need a car to get around town. Host was responsive and communicative. Would stay again.

Superb 5 days at Grey Rock Villa! A beautiful place to stay, extremely well equipped with amazing views. Very responsive hosts who have thought of everything to enhance your stay. Would highly recommend, we would love to return in the future! Thank you!

Fantastic villa. We stayed there as a family of four and loved the accommodation. The villa was spacious, clean and well equipped. The view was incredible looking out to sea from all the bedrooms, the living space and the pool area. The location was wonderful and close to beaches and hiking areas, less than a 20 minute drive to Calheta or the trekking areas in the mountains behind the house. Not really that far to anywhere on Maderia and we also had days out in Porto Moniz and even Canical was less than an hours drive. House was easy to find, check in was easy and hosts were very helpful throughout. Would highly recommend.

Great location, very peaceful. Fantastic getaway! Hopefully we’ll be back again!

wonderful place, beautiful views! The house is very modern with great amenities and has everything you need.

Where to begin with Arbor Villa? I'll start by saying that it surpassed all our expectations and was far and away the best AirBnb stay we have ever experienced. About the home - It is stunning , luxurious, and welcoming with all the comforts of home. The design is impeccable. Emma and the architect/designers thought of everything and there was no detail overlooked. The materials, color palettes, furnishings, art and decoration combined with the beautiful setting in Campanario create an experience that is in harmony with nature and create a serene and relaxing environment. After long days of exploring the island and hiking the PR's it was so wonderful to come home to this beautiful sanctuary. And the view - Breathtaking. Then there's Emma, our superb host. Her care and attention to detail is second to none. She was forthcoming with excellent recommendations and accommodated our requests to make our stay even more special. She has elevated the AirBnb experience. Highly recommend!

We had an unforgettable stay at this beautiful home in Madeira the moment we walked up the flower lined path and took in the panoramic views, we knew we would have an amazing time. The pool was sparkling, clean and perfect for relaxing, and the surrounding gardens were absolutely enchanting so many flowers and trees. It felt like a private oasis. . The location was peaceful yet close enough to the city. It’s walkable if you’re up for the challenge of steep streets, otherwise buses and taxes are easy options. Either way it’s perfectly situated for both relaxing days , trips into the city or countryside.. There was also parking inside the gated area.. The hosts were very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful and they made our stay that much better. This place is ideal if you’re looking to just unwind beside the pool or go into the city or tour the island we only wish we could’ve stayed longer. We plan on going back very soon !!!

We had the most amazing stay, I'll be honest when we booked this we felt it was a bit to good to be true and was expecting it to not look as good as the photos...but wow the photos don't do it justice. The views were breathtaking, our villa was completely private and so peaceful. We loved watching the sunset every night and waking up to the view of the ocean from our bed in the morning. There's lots of really pretty wildlife to see too. I would definitely recommend renting a car to get around because it is out in the mountains. Sofia was a really good host, she was at the property when we arrived, really lovely and helpful. She sent lots of recommendation to us for places to explore and places to eat. We'd spent 3 days in Funchal before travelling out to the mountains. This Airbnb made our trip to Madeira so so special.

Hands down one of the best Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed at. The property was spotless and the view is unreal. Incredibly peaceful and great for a recharge. A rental car is properly your best bet for getting around the area, although you can get lucky and find Ubers occasionally. There is a parking spot available with a gate to enclose the property. That said, the area is incredibly safe and tranquil. Henrique was incredibly responsive, which I greatly appreciated. Overall, an amazing time. I highly recommend the place to anyone coming to Madeira.

this was our second stay with Louise which says alot! the accommodation is ideally situated to explore the island with a rental car and for walks down to funchal. the apartment was super comfortable and lovely to relax in. can't wait to come back for a third time!
