Holiday home for max. 3 adults + 2 children
Arco Da Calheta, Madeira, (South coast of Madeira), Portugal

Casa da Pedra is a traditional Madeiran house in the village of Arco da Calheta. The locals reckon that Arco da Calheta has the best micro-climate of all! Ans it’s a quiet location. The house has two bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom. Downstairs is one big room which provides lounge, dining and kitchen areas. The walls are very thick stone – they are over 150 years old, part of the original cottage. This keeps the house cool in the summer, and warm in the winter. Outside there is a swimming pool and south-south-facing terrace. The pool is about 5 metres by 8 metres; the depth is about 1.5 metres, solar heated There are two bedrooms upstairs. Both open onto the balcony, which faces south, giving stunning views over the sea and surrounding mountains. The first bedroom has an en-suite shower room, and there is also a family bathroom. The shops are a short walk away. There is a garden below the swimming pool, with a wooden house (Casa da Madeira). If the owners are staying there, they may use the pool (don't worry, we are quite nice really!). You are welcome to pick fruit from the trees in the garden - these include, custard apples, passion fruit, and some young citrus trees. Pool refurbishment: The pool was refurbished in December 2008, so you will have an even better swimming experience!
