Fabulous holiday accommodation

My daughter and I enjoyed a wonderful stay at Casa das Flores. The house is amazing, set in beautiful grounds. Lovely pool, very private. Arco da Calheta is a perfect, central yet quiet holiday base to explore Madeira. The ocean view is just breathtaking!Great contact with the owners before travel. Super efficient check-in etc. We‘d love to stay again.

Beautiful house, fantastic views.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is very spacious, exceptionally well equipped with a really good kitchen and the beds were very comfortable. Plenty of hot water, although it takes a while to run hot. We particularly enjoyed log fires in the living room as it was actually quite cold while we were there. The only downside of our trip was that the weather wasn’t great while we were there. The flowers in the garden are exceptional, and particularly the scent of the gorgeous Jasmine bushes I shall never forget. All in all we very much enjoyed this house.

Very lovely Villa in a beautiful location

We enjoyed our stay at the Villa very much. The Villa itself was very good and the local management people were also helpful and courteous. The location and views from the Villa were spectacular. This was our first visit to Madeira and we hope it won't be the last. I would recommend this property to anyone.

Second stay - which says it all!

We fell in love with this property last year and brought all the family this year. It’s so spacious, well appointed and clean, and for me the view, flowers and little garden make it special. We had 2 cars this year and used the helpful garage. Convenient location while still being so private. Hoping to return one day. Thank you!

This is an immaculate property, with a beautiful setting. I particularly loved the garden areas which are expertly tended. The pool is a good enough size to exercise up and down if you wish. The whole house is very well equipped and exceeded our expectations. We hope to return one day. Emma & Barry CLINTON

Fantastic Holiday Location

Not often in life do you get to stay in a property of this quality in such a special location. The weather was almost perfect and we enjoyed two super weeks exploring Arco Da Calheta and Madeira. The pool and pool area at Casa Das Flores are amazing, we used the pool every day. The villa has everything you need come rain or shine. Access to walks and shops/bars from the door also a bonus. Our only critique was the noise from locals who appeared to be racing their cars at night near the property. Overall, a 5 star property in a fantastic location.

We arrived in the middle of the night due to the weather conditions and straight away we were impressed. Lovely garden, great pool - very good size. There was everything we needed and more. Very well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, cosy lounge. Very spacious home and as mentioned in previous reviews the photos do not do the villa justice. Stunning views of the ocean.

We had such a lovely holiday staying at Casa Da Flores. The location really was perfect for exploring the island but also loved that we could walk to a couple of local bars and shop. Calheta was great for a nice meal and a Dolphin/whale watching trip. Levadas are close by. The house was nicest one we have ever stayed in. The views were amazing and it had everything you needed. If we ever visited again we would have no reason to look anywhere else and would 100% recommend to anyone. Thankyou for the best holiday.

We had a wonderful week in Casa Das Flores. The house is immaculate. The pool is brilliant especially as we had it heated. All the equipment of the house is of a high standard. The house decoration is amazing for a rented house. Vanda was very nice and helpful. As a final thought, this is by far the best house we have ever stayed in.

FABULOUS!

The property is beautiful and well kept. The owners are always available and the grounds keepers are great! wonderful area, beautiful island. Rent a car if you stay in this area to see the island , but you can always grab a cab if need too. They have everything in the house! huge beautiful windows for the best views! BBQ and pool area fantastic! I would recommend a pillow topper in the main bedroom bed its very firm, but that is my only "complaint" haha if that classifies as one. highly recommend!! This was so great we were 4 days into our holiday and rebooked for June next year!

Very spacious and well kept house with large pool, outdoor kitchen and stunning view over the ocean. Kitchen extremely well kept (Miele appliances). This would be a straight 5 stars, with one exception. The surrounding was not as quite as we have hoped. Several neighbours with yappy dogs and quite some traffic on the nearby street.
