Stunning Sea and Mountain Views, Private Pool, Games Room, and optional Massages

Our villa offers everything you need for a relaxing, comfortable stay on the stunning Madeira coast. Set within banana groves on a terraced mountainside in a peaceful hamlet, the property features a private, south-facing swimming pool (9m x 4m) with panoramic sea views, sun loungers, umbrellas, an outdoor shower, and a large tiled sunbathing patio. Pool towels are provided, and access is via steps to the lower level. The pool is completely private and never shared.

The villa has 5 large and spacious bedrooms spread across two floors. Three rooms feature king-sized double beds, while two rooms include single beds (one with 2, the other with 3), making it perfect for groups of up to 11 guests. All beds are fitted with firm memory foam mattresses, 100% cotton bed linen, and hypoallergenic bedding, ensuring a restful and comfortable night's sleep for all.

My family truly enjoyed our stay in Arco da Calheta. The hosts, Emma & Quim were so kind and welcoming. They gave us wonderful local suggestions, including visiting a town festival…which was definitely a highlight on our trip! We loved the ability to spread out between the two levels of the home. The pool and rec room were fun additions. The location was great for our activities, like the Fanal Forest (a must see!), sunny beaches in Calheta, exploring seaside villages, the banana museum, and dune buggy rides. We felt well cared for and comfortable in this rental home!

Huge property with amazing views and great facilities.

We had a wonderful time. The property is lovely with fantastic views overlooking the banana plans and the owners are wonderful. They couldn’t do enough for us. We had a few teething problems with Wi-Fi and they immediately had someone around to fix it. They were so attentive. It’s a lovely place that’s quiet restful and relaxing. There weren’t any negatives to highlight. Our group did hope to be closer to a restaurant or a little bar that was walking distance. The one beside the villa only opens once per week. However l, there was a great gym nearby along with hiking trails and we could drive down to Calheta within 10 mins. Overall, I’d highly recommended this place for families and friends alike. Really well set up and an absolute pleasure to spend time at. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay. We hope to be back very soon!

Fabulous property for group of 10

Excellent property, well equipped. Kids enjoyed the games room, beautiful views, pool delightful although a bit shallow Quim and Emma great hosts and whole family x3 generations enjoyed fun night out with them in a local bar near by. Layout worked really well for two families as two separate floors meant you could retreat a have your own space if needed. The local fish restaurant ‘Leme’ recommended by Quim & Emma was excellent, we ended up going twice. A great holiday and great fun.

Absolutely fantastic villa! Highly recommend - 5/5.

We were delighted with this villa - it was luxurious, the bedrooms spacious and comfortable, the kitchen well equipped with everything you could ask for, including a coffee machine, panini grill, indoor pizza oven, and large fridge-freezer. Even the ice cube tray had been filled for us. The annex was also well equipped, spacious, and very comfortable. There is more than ample indoor and outdoor seating, catering for both those who like sun and the shade. The pool is gorgeous and there are plenty of loungers with cushions provided, and two large umbrellas for when shade is required. I cannot express how fantastic the views are from this villa - they are absolutely breathtaking- and the lounge area has a large window one side of it so you see the views every time you walk into it. The games room was well equipped with pool table and darts and provided good entertainment in the evenings we stayed in. The villa was immaculately clean, and it was a huge bonus that beach towels were provided. The beach nearby is lovely and sandy and there is a supermarket nearby which is very convenient. The owners, Emma and Quim, live in the villa upstairs and were so incredibly helpful and responsive whenever we needed anything, or had questions to ask about where to eat, and were able to book taxis for us at a discounted rate. Would not hesitate to recommend and would certainly stay here again. Thank you for a lovely holiday Emma and Quim!

Fantastic stay at Casa Vista do Ledo

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Vista do Ledo. The property is spacious, clean and very well equipped and the view from the villa is out of this world. Quim and Emma were excellent hosts and Quim was always available to help with anything we needed. We also really appreciated the Poncha that they brought us to sample. Calheta is a brilliant place with two great beaches with safe swimming which was perfect as we had young children with us. It was also an excellent base for exploring the island. We hope to return soon!

Easy, clean and enjoyable place to rent and stay in. Pool and area very clean. Great location with bars restaurants and cafes within walking distance. Walk to local town achievable via paths and main road. Supermarket nearby. Facilities clean and usable. View knock! Lots to do, visit, boat trips, walks, markets, shops, local beaches, water parks, whale watching. Hire a car or use local taxis and support local businesses hosts will sort out for you. Made friends, great people. Love the country and coast. Would love to return and highly recommend. See you again Quimm and Emma!

Wonderful piece of paradise

The house is well set up all extras you could ever need a real home from home Setting is stunning ! Waking to a sea view over banana groves is breathtaking. The pictures on the page don't do the house justice it's huge ! Room after room is discovered. The games room was a huge positive ! And the pool is wonderful. This side of the island is hotter than most and we only had a fleeting drizzle one day. You are a little out on a limb and definitely need a car to discover the best of the island but the roads are so easy to navigate and we'll signposted so don't worry. The house is clean with all amenities needed it is a little tired in places but it has real charcater and if 2 families are travelling together it's perfect as you can holiday together but still have time apart. The beds are amazing so comfortable.

Spacious villa with fantastic sea views in a lovely part of the island

I stayed at the villa for a week with 10 members of my family. We had a wonderful week and were sad to leave! Emma & Quim were extremely helpful and responsive to messages ahead of our arrival (and during our stay). Miguel met me at the villa and arranged for a local taxi driver, Nelson, to take me to the supermarket before the rest of the group arrived. Nelson is absolutely brilliant and took us on a great tour to Porto Moniz one day - stopping to show us several view points on the way there and back which we wouldn't have known about otherwise. The villa is extremely spacious, very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The views from the balconies and pool area are spectacular. The pool isn't heated but we used it every day we were there (in October) - you just have to be a bit brave about getting into it! Having two kitchens and two living rooms plus the pool area and game room meant that there was plenty of space for us all without it ever feeling crowded. The neighbours are lovely - we got talking to the people who live over the road and they recommended things to do locally - including the trip to Porto Moniz which was one of the highlights of our stay. The villa is located in a small village called Arco da Calhetta - there are a few shops and snack bars about a 12 minute walk from the villa (the local supermarket there is very small but has the essentials and some fresh fruit and vegetables). Calhetta is about 5 minutes drive away. It took us just over an hour to walk down there one day but it's very steep and there is no pavement so it would be better to drive if possible. We didn't even think about walking back up! The local supermarket in Calhetta is much bigger and had everything we needed. There are several restaurants in Calhetta - we had a fantastic meal on our last night there at the Savoy Calhetta Beach Hotel (Onda Azul restaurant). It's well worth a visit. There's also a restaurant at the other end of the hotel that has tables outside by the beach and serves nice ice cream. We took a public bus from the village (the stop was 20 minutes walk from the villa) to Funchal one day. It cost 4 Euros each way and took 1.5 hours but it was well worth the longer journey for the scenery - the public bus takes the coastal route through all of the villages rather than through the tunnels. I would love to return one day and I would be more than happy to stay at this villa again.

Perfect holiday

We were all absolutely amazed by the property. It actually exceeded our expectations. All the rooms and there is plenty of them to accommodate 11 people, were spacious with spectacular views. There is also a large game room with a pool table, dart board a Foosball table for those who get bored or tired after challenging climb to Pico Ruivo. When you get all the way down to the bottom of the building, you will find a large terrace with a swimming pool with a clear water, overlooking the Atlantic ocean. If you like the smell of burning meat and aubergine, there is a BBQ grill and a near local shop, where you can buy your sausages.

Was allemaal verschillend , van alles en niet één lijn. Bij het zwembad zou ik in de breedte nog een extra afscheiding plaatsen, wij hadden het nu afgebakend met ligstoelen. Onze kleinzoon van anderhalf is geen zwembad gewend en erg onderzoekend, moesten hem steeds corrigeren. Verder een prima verbllijf en kan het aanbevelen. Erg mooie plek voor een vakantie.
