This place is amazing, Durante was so responsive and even had fresh eggs, bananas and a bottle of wine from his farm. Truly an unforgettable experience and I recommend this location to anyone looking to travel to Madeira.

Great place to stay. Duarte is such a nice host, taking care of everything. He responds quickly and is there when help is needed. In our case, the toaster wasn't working, and within a very short time, he brought in a new one.The view...just amazing. We highly recommend this accomodation. Thank you, Duarte.

Amazing stay

Perfect host, friendly check in and great communication from start. Location was great and so peaceful. Quiet clean and really pleasant. All facilities were up to standards and rooms were comfortable and airy. The location almost isolated makes It a perfect getaway.

Great stay

My wife and I and another couple stayed with Duarte. We were very happy with our stay and the location was great for us. Many restaurants in the waterfront area. Duarte was a great host and responded very quickly to messages. A car is a definite requirement for Madeira and Duartes place gave us a perfect launching point. We would definitely stay there again.

This was our first time in Madeira and we felt our stay here was very authentic to the island (this includes the hike into the property;). The space was great for a family of four with two adult children. The view was breathtaking! Arriving with fresh eggs and bananas grown on property was nothing short of a host that cared for their guests. You can see the pride Duarte has in his property and sharing it with others. Book it! You won’t be disappointed….

We really loved the stay in the house of Duarte. Unfortunately we only booked for 3 nights. You alredy wake up with a beautiful view of the ocean and in the evening you have the most beautiful sunset you can imagine. Another big plus of the house is the owner Duarte. He helps you with everything you need and in the beginning he provided a basket with different fruits and eggs for the first days. We really loved it!

Notre séjour de 5 nuits pour 3 personnes s'est très bien passé. L'accueil de notre hôte était amical et attentionné. L'accès à la maison se fait à pied sur un chemin assez long avec un petit dénivelé. La maison est très confortable et offre une terrasse superbe avec vue mer. Le calme est absolu et l'environnement très zen.

Belle experience chez Paulo

Nous avons ete tres bien acceuillis par Paulo, qui est un hote attentionne et disponible. La maison est conforme a l'annonce. Elle est bien equipee et la vue est exeptionnelle. L'environnement est tres sympa (plantations de bananiers) et la proximite des axes pour rayonner partout sur l'île est parfait. Le village de calheta, où vous trouverez une plage, des commerces et restaurants, est à quelques minutes de voiture. Je recommande le logement de Paulo.

Perfekter Aufenthalt

Unser erster Urlaub auf Madeira war wunderschön. Casa Sol e Vista war genau die richtige Wahl! Ein unglaublicher Ausblick auf das Meer und auch die Berge, ein herrlicher, gepflegter Garten und ein toller Pool (konnten wir selbst im Dezember nutzen!), ein sehr gut ausgestattetes Haus (alles da, was man braucht), eine gemütliche Outdoorküche (wir haben leckeren Fisch und Fleisch gegrillt) und viel Ruhe! Alle Ausflugsziele sind gut zu erreichen. Wir danken Duarte und seiner Frau sehr für ihre herzliche Gastfreundschaft. Besonders haben wir uns natürlich über den Wein, die Eier und die Früchte gefreut. Die Bananen sind fantastisch! Alles Gute für die ganze Familie und schöne Weihnachten!

Einfach Traumhaft

Der Gastgeber ist super zuvorkommend, nett und hilfsbereit. Man merkt sofort das es ihm wichtig ist, dass seine Gäste zufrieden sind und einen bestmöglichen Aufenthalt haben. Das Haus lässt ebenso keine Wünsche offen. Super sauber und schön! Der Ausblick den man hat, ist jedesmal wenn man aufsteht wunderschön. Alles in einem eine Top Unterkunft, wo es einem an nichts fehlt. Jede Bewertung hier kann ich komplett nachvollziehen. Ich denke mal es war nicht das letzte mal, dass ich dort war.

Tolles Haus, superschöne Lage und Aussicht

Wir haben 2 Wochen das tolle Haus mit der einzigartigen Aussicht aufs Meer genossen. Alle positiven Bewertungen können wir bestätigen. Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet, alles blitzblank sauber und Duarte und Vanessa sind ausgesprochen sympathische Vermieter. Zusätzlich gab es noch jede Menge frische Bananen und Eier. 👍 Wir kommen bestimmt nochmal wieder Ewa und Michael

Urlaub in Madeira im Oktober 2023

Wir verlebten knapp zwei Wochen in einer tollen Unterkunft, immer versorgt mit frischen Bananen und Eiern vom Vermieter in Arco da Calheta. Das Ferienhaus ist schön gelegen mit einem wunderbaren Blick auf das Meer und die Stadt. Wir können es jederzeit und gerne weiterempfehlen.

Private Hideaway

The property was excellent and the owner was very helpful, I would recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing private holiday. The only thing I would advise is that the accommodation is away from the road and would not be suitable for infirm visitors.

Fantastisch!

Wir haben zwei wunderbare Wochen in diesem sehr sauberen und gut ausgestatten Haus mit einer fantastischen Aussicht verbracht. Das Haus befindet sich nicht weit von einem guten Strand und von den mehreren schönen Ausflugszielen in den Bergen. Die Küche und der Grillplatz mit Terrasse waren mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Der Pool mit extra Dusche und Toilette draußen hat eine fantastische Aussicht. Duarte mit seiner Familie sind sehr gute, nette und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Vielen Dank für guten Wein, Eier, Bananen, Kartoffel, Zwiebel!!! Wir haben unsere Zeit auf Madeira sehr genossen und möchten definitiv wieder kommen.

A magnificent view and a very hospitable host

We loved the place we stayed at…very clean with lots of space..very true to the listing…Host is amazing and helps in every possible way to make your stay enjoyable. One cannot expect a more stunning view from both bedrooms and of course from the patio/swimming pool area. We made use of the outdoor fireplace, (which was enclosed) nearly every night and that was where we had our dinners….wood for the fire was plenty and all there for us to use..we would definitely like to come back for another stay in the near future

Traumhafte Tage auf der Frühlingsinsel

Anfang Dezember hatten wir 10 schöne Tage in dem herrlich gelegenen Haus. Es war gut ausgestattet und wir wurden umfangreich vom Eigentümer betreut. Sollten wir wieder nach Madeira reisen würden wir die Unterkunft wieder in die engere Auswahl ziehen
