Large Family House With Heated Pool And Panoramic Sea Views
This traditional Madeiran family house has wonderful views of the sea from the sunny garden and all south facing rooms. The heated swimming pool (7.9m x 5m x 1.4m deep) is available all year round - the heating cost is included in summer rental rates and costs an extra €20 per night during the low-priced season November to March.
Casa na Colina has easy, level access from the street level into the oak-floored sitting room with picture window and wood burning fireplace, ideal for cooler winter evenings. Sleeping up to 9 adults comfortably in 4 bedrooms plus a sofabed in the sitting room, it is good for couples or families. The master en-suite double bedroom, 2 twin bedrooms and main family bathroom are also on the entrance level.
A beautiful marble staircase leads to the lower floor where there is another en-suite double bedroom and the kitchen and dining area. From here doors lead out to the veranda and garden with its panoramic sea views offering peace and quiet.
The house is situated in a quiet suburb only 2 minutes drive from the Via Rapido which gives easy access to many of Madeira's attractions. A 10 minutes drive takes you to the sandy beaches, cafes and restaurants at Calheta marina. Other villages, with swimming areas and restaurants are also nearby.
There is parking for a small car on the front drive of the property. The road outside the house is not busy, so other (or larger) cars can easily park here.
The house is now under the management of Catarina Gouveia, who has many years experience in the tourist market. She lives in a nearby village and will be contactable during your stay if any problems develop. For guests staying for more than one week, she will provide a mid-holiday bedding change.

A very special place for a wonderful family vacation!
Spacious, spotlessly clean, comfortable and cozy -- we had a lovely week staying at Jayne's house. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals, the fireplace kept us warm in the cool February evenings, and the views from the deck are absolutely breathtaking!
The villa is perfect, the views are beautiful. It has everything you need and the welcome and communication from both Jayne and Catarina was second to none. We will definitely be back and for a longer stay. Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful week in february in the lovely house as a family with three children (7 years, 4 years, 10 month) The children especially loved the heated pool. Catarina was a big help and even brought more wood for the fire place spontanously, when we had finished it.. Everything was perfect!
Our 4 nights here were fabulous. The house is large and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We greatly appreciated the wine for us adults and snacks for our kids that were presented upon check-in. Catarina was very kind and walked us through the basic locations of things in the house and how to properly unroll and roll up the pool cover. The weather was absolutely perfect during our stay and the view from the pool and lounge area makes you feel like a tiny ant as you stare out at the vastness of the ocean. All in all, this was a great stay that we will remember for years to come.
We where 2 families with two teenagers who stayed in this large house. The communications with both Jayne and Catarina were smooth and they always quickly responded.This house is big with 4 bedroom's and large kitchen/dining with huge windows and door to the garden and pool. The house stand high upon in a hill just outside Calheta.The view and the garden is the best about this house.Every day there was a new picture of the sunset or the views over the sea. Everything cleen and not much to complain about. And we loved Catarina the houseHighly recommend but you need a car to stay here.
Our mid-April 2023 stay was fantastic. Basing ourselves on the published pictures and conversations with both Jayne and Catarina, nothing was different from what got. Everything met and even exceeded our hopes.
Catarina, the on site hostess, was very helpful to us.
The kitchen/dining room is large and well-equipped. The house is a very good space for a family.
The pool was wonderful, gardens and view fantastic.
Thank you so much.
Authentiek huisje, zeer netjes, zeer vriendelijke en behulpzame gastvrouw.
Buiten de touristische zones. Rustig gelegen. Kleine supermarkt in de buurt, ook voor vers brood ‘s ochtends. Wel auto nodig om het eiland te verkennen. Zeer proper. Gastvrij onthaal!
Wir haben als Familie, Großeltern, Eltern, Kinder, 10 Tage in diesem schönen Haus verbracht.
Die Lage ist wunderschön, das Haus geräumig und gut eingerichtet.
Die Küche mit allem was man brauch ausgestattet.
Das absolute Highlight der beheizte Pool!
Catarina eine fürsorgliche Verwalterin, die sich kümmert und jederzeit bei Fragen oder Unklarheiten hilft. Danke für dafür.
Es war ein wunderschöner Aufenthalt.
Wir waren sehr überrascht! Das Haus ist wunderschön und mit tollen Aussicht! Gastgeberin sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit , so die Catharina auch.
Haus ist groß und schön eingerichtet. Wir können nur weiter empfehlen.
Très bien accueilli, lieu très calme, villa agréablement agancé.
Un seul petit regret ,il est précisé dans l annonce que la piscine est chauffé, il a néanmoins fallut payé un surplus pour la chauffé.
Traumhaftes Haus in wunderschöner Lage mit beheiztem Pool
Das Haus ist sehr sauber, geräumig und schön eingerichtet. Der Aussenbereich ist sehr gross mit beheiztem Pool und schöner überdachter Terrasse. Die Liegen sind fantastisch und laden zum sonnenbaden ein.
Wir hatten einen sehr liebevollen Empfang am Haus, trotz 6 stündiger Verspätung und genauso lieb wurden wir wieder verabschiedet, lieben Dank dafür Catarina.
Ebenso möchten wir uns bedanken, dass der Pool ausnahmsweise ein wenig länger für uns beheizt wurde, so wurden die Urlaubsfreuden noch ein wenig grösser.
Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder und sagen, bis bald
Luxurious property with a panoramic view out across the sea and sunshine all day. Lovely large heated pool.
Very well equipped house with quality furnishings and fittings. Very spacious and the owner has thought of every small detail.
Very friendly and helpful caretaker.
This was fantastic! We had a great stay an will come back! We were more than 1,5 days late and arrived in the middle of the night. Catarina (the Housekeeper) was waiting for us, still! We were in contact during our whole arrival-chaos, she did a little shopping for us and made us feel very welcome. Thank you so much!
The contact with Jayne, the owner, was very pleasant, helpful and welcoming.
The house itself is huge. Lot's of room for the kids to play, the kitchen ist well equipped and everything you need is there. We did a lot of cooking and missed nothing. The pool-area and the garden are very nice. We loved it all. So, to sum it up - our stay was more than perfect!
super erholsamer urlaub in einem wunderschönen haus
Ein superschönes Haus in dem man sich ganz schnell sehr wohl fühlt. Es ist alles vorhanden, reichlich Platz und einfach nur schön. Der Pool ist beheizt und es macht Laune darin zu baden. Catarina -die Hausseele- ist wahnsinnig freundlich und aufmerksam, sie hilft wo sie nur kann. Wir sind froh dass wir 2 Wochen an diesem schönen Ort sein durften und kommen gerne wieder!!!
Das Haus ist genauso, wie auf den Bildern angegeben. Der Blick über den Atlantik ist einmalig, die Ausstattung lässt keine Wünsche offen. Dank Catarina klappte die Übergabe super und bei eventuellen Fragen ist sie immer ansprechbar. Ein rundum toller Urlaub, wir kommen wieder!!
Start to finish our experience was lovely. We arrived very early (nearer to 11am than 3pm check in time) Catarina the house keeper couldn't have been more obliging. Let us in very early to drop off bags, gave us the tour and explanations of everything and even recommended an easier road for going to and from the house.
Its in a lovely location, away from the bustle of Funchal and near enough to be within 40 mins drive of almost everything.
The houses facilities were lovely, nice clean bedrooms and a large enough kitchen for 7. Also the outside bbq was perfect for us to have homemade bbq food one evening. The reccomendation of Casa Bettencourt in the little book was so good we went 3 times during our stay!
Overall a great experience had by all!
So easy booking this property with very prompt helpful communication with Jayne. Caterina met us at the house and showed us around. Such a lovely comfortable house with amazing views
Wir waren als Familie für eine Woche im Februar zu Gast und haben den Aufenthalt mehr als genossen. Das Anwesen ist geräumig, war super sauber geputzt, der Pool war für die Teenager eine Sensation. Bei Außentemperaturen von 16-18 Grad hat es die Wärmepumpe geschafft, das Wasser auf 27-28 Grad zu erwärmen. Die Poolheizung kostet wegen hohen Stromverbrauch extra, hat sich aber mehr als gelohnt. Nach einem Wandertag in den Pool zu springen, ist super! Parken kann man problemlos auf der Straße vor den Haus. Es gibt einen kleinen gut sortierten Supermarkt ca. 1 km den Berg runter.
Die Haus-Managerin Catharina ist super herzlich und bei Fragen immer schnell per WhatsApp zu erreichen. Vielen herzlichen Dank! Wir kommen gerne wieder.
