Top Calheta Hotel Reviews

Saccharum Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had an absolutely incredible stay here! we spent nine nights here and it was nothing short of perfect. It was for our honeymoon and as a lesbian couple, we felt very safe and welcomed here. The Beach Club was THE favourite spot for us. And we recommend getting the Bali bed at least once. the breakfast buffet was wonderful and the treatments at the spa were so relaxing and really made us feel special. We went in the beginning of October and the weather was absolutely perfect. Zero rain the entire time we were here! Only one thing to note that if you are wanting to do tours, most of them come out of Finch so as we didn’t rent a car, we were constantly taking both to and from Funchal so if you can renting a car is nest for seeing the island. Can’t wait to come back one day!"

Calheta Beach - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"When we checked in the room we were given had a broken door so we were moved to another room. The room we were changed to was not the same as what we paid for. We paid for a double sea view and had a corner view instead. We made the best of it. We enjoyed our stay and the nightly entertainment. The buffet had a different theme each night which was nice. The poor area was clean and had plenty of lounge chairs. The beach and ocean are right there with lounge chairs and umbrellas. There are 2 onsite restaurants which are included with your stay. We only ate at one of them and the food was very good. The resort is very family friendly and has a lot of amenities geared to the children. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it."

Socalco Nature Calheta

10/10 Excellent

"Incredible location, right at the starting point of hiking trails. Breathtaking views. Delicious food. Super friendly and accommodating staff members!"

SPECIAL OFFER VISIT Madeira FebruaryWarm Pool Gardens terraces comfort

10/10 Excellent

"This villa was everything and more than we could have wished for. Sandra met us on arrival to show us round and continued to communicate well throughout our stay. The villa it self was extremely clean and the facilities there is everything you need for the perfect stay. The highlight for us was the outdoor kitchen bbq area where we spend most of our time in the evenings and when we weren’t out seeing the sights. The pool was perfect for cooling off in the hot afternoons. The views are absolutely perfect and the area is very quiet. The marina is only a short drive away which is nice for evening strolls and has some wonderful restaurants to dine in. We found it to be the perfect location for our holiday in Madeira. We would highly recommend a stay here and would definitely want to stay here again in the future."

Quinta Pereira ... beautiful panoramic views and ocean sunsets

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay at Quinta Pereira, which is beautifully positioned in a peaceful spot commanding amazing views of the coastline. The property has multiple areas to sit in the gardens and enjoy the views and offers lots of different ways to keep guests entertained, from pool and table football through to the piano (a very welcome surprise), board games and even an XBOX (latest model, which our 17yo managed to leave alone for once, thrashing us at table football instead!). A hire car is essential as the area's very hilly and we'd recommend a small car or an SUV - our saloon estate was too long and low to clear the bump at the gate and park on the drive - but Wendy was only too happy for us to use the parking space by the road.Walking the levadas and a trip to the lava pools of Porto Moniz were real highlights, as were the Sunshine Pub & Grill and Restaurante O Forno.Wendy was a really responsive host and we'd have no hesitation in returning to this tranquil spot, or recommending to others."

ANGEL'S SUNSET T2 ESTRITO DA CALHETA

10/10 Excellent

"Had mostly everything that we needed. Clean and comfortable and with good facilities including designated parking.The only things I would like to see added:1. A kettle - us Brits like a cup of tea and some of us even like instant coffee.2. Fans for the bedrooms. As they don't have windows it can get stuffy and hot overnight.Our host, Elisabete, was wonderful. Gave us some welcome gifts and advice on where to go and what to do.Be aware that this is a set of 4 apartments that share the outdoor facilities. I didn't cotton onto that when I booked."

House / Villa - Arco da Calheta

8/10 Good

"Sehr gute Unterkunft und vor allem die perfekte Lage ( 5 Minuten und du bist am Strand). Das Haus wie beschrieben, sauber, mit allem notwendigen ausgestattet. Sehr große Terrase mit dem Blick auf die Atlantik. Die Kommunikation lief reibungslos, die Betreuung vor Ort ebenfalls. Viele Dank dafür. Was das Parken angeht, ist generell auf Madeira eine Herausforderung, da die Straßen sehr eng und steil sind, aber machbar. Ein Tipp für den Strand. Wir haben uns für den Strand, wo meistens die Einheimische sind, entschieden. Im Navi einfach Ficus Julia im Madalena do Mar angeben. Der ist zwar steinig, aber mit einem kristall sauberem Wasser und nicht überfüllt wie in Calheta (außer am WE), mit einem großen kostenlosen Parkplatz. Da kann man sich nach dem Schwimmer einen Hotdog oder Hamburger (wirklich zu empfehlen, ist groß, lecker und macht einen richtig satt) holen. Fazit: Preis -Leistungs Verhätnis stimmt. Ich würde die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen."

Casa Félix, Calheta: Villa with unique view! Private Pool!

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay at Casa Felix. The property is exactly as shown on the listing and is stunning. It was immaculately clean and very comfortable and well equipped. The master bedroom bed was very comfortable, although quite hard, and there were plentiful towels and good quality bed linen. The outside space is the real wow-factor and allows you to enjoy the spectacular view, which we never tired of looking at. Our check-in process was very smooth, and Celia met us at the property to complete a full hand over. She was very helpful and gave us recommendations for local services we may need. The villa is located at the top of a very steep hill. It is about a 15 minute walk down the hill to the port, but we didn’t attempt the walk back up. On a couple of occasions we got a taxi, but these were hard to find after about 9pm, even at the weekend, and there was no Uber service available. Therefore, most of the time we drove. I would recommend getting the smallest hire-car possible as the road is narrow, precipitous and incredibly twisty, best suited to very experienced drivers. Casa Felix is a stunning property that exceeded our expectations, and we very much enjoyed our time staying there."
