Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay, especially appreciating the location and view. Your feedback is greatly valued and we're delighted that everything was 'extra' for you. We look forward to welcoming you back anytime.
Directly upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the host Rita. The house was just wonderful, very clean and well-equipped with everything one could possibly need. We immediately felt at home and spent 10 marvelous days there as a family of four. We already miss the breathtaking 180 degree Ocean view. Our kids (6 and 8 yrs. old) especially enjoyed the great pool.

We'll be back :-)
We had a fantastic week at Searenity Home I and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful house, the incredible outdoor areas, and the lovely pool. As everyone else mentions, Rita is a fantastic host, and we would be very happy to come back another time. It’s hard to add much new, but we can mention that the kitchen knives have been sharpened (there’s a knife sharpener in the drawer), and the banana palms only make the already stunning view even better. It might also be helpful to know that the private parking space is large and spacious, and the gate opens and closes electronically.

Perfect Villa!
Thank you so much we had an amazing holiday! Firstly the initial contact with an Island Apart was excellent. Every question was answered quickly by a friendly team member.
The Villa itself was perfect, there was nothing at all we would change. It was spotless, luxurious and immaculate. Every little detail had been thought of and everything you needed was provided.
Rita was lovely, friendly, kind and very welcoming. She is also obviously very thoughtful and considers everything for a lovely stay.
We love Madeira, such a beautiful Island to explore.
We’d definitely return and would definitely recommend this Villa and an Island Apart.
Thank you

Wir haben einen traumhaften Urlaub in diesem einmalig schönen Haus genossen, alles blitzsauber und mit allem ausgestattet was man im Urlaub benötigt. Die Gastgeberin Rita war stets erreichbar und hilfsbereit und hat uns sogar mit einem selbst gebackenen Orangenkuchen verwöhnt. Wir würden die Unterkunft jederzeit wieder buchen.

Hideaway on Calheta Hills
Very spacious and modern bungalow style house with perfect sea view near Arco da Calheta.
Perfectly equipped with all you need to have relaxing a vacation. Fits for a family or 4 adults.
Excellent hub to start Madeira hiking tours or just to have relaxing days at the private pool.
Good pizza place in walking distance as well as a little supermarket or traditional Poncha bar.
Rita is the best host you can imagine and she definitely makes sure that your stay will become unforgettable.

Lovely place
Lovely place with all you need, fantastic views and very friendly host. Absolutely recommended!
Das Haus entspricht komplett der Beschreibung und den Bildern. Es fehlt an nichts und alles war sehr sauber. Die Terrasse mit dem Blick auf den Atlantik ist fantastisch, zumal man von Vormittag bis zum Sonnenuntergang komplett Sonne hat. Fussläufig gibt es einen kleinen Supermarkt und eine Pizzeria, für alles weitere kann man runter nach Calheta fahren. Ein Auto mit ausreichender Leistung ist erforderlich, die Umgebung ist wie die ganze Insel sehr steil. Rita, die die Gäste betreut, ist ein Engel. Immer besorgt, immer ansprechbar und immer bemüht, den Aufenthalt noch schöner zu machen. Wir waren begeistert.

Fantastic house
All is perfect in Searenity Vacations Home I, the size of the house, the panoramic view over the sea, all equipments available inside and outside the house. It is really a great vacation home. We recommand highly.
Herrliche Lage mit wunderbarer Sicht auf den Atlantik. Wir genossen die ruhige Lage.
Die Vermieterin ist äusserst zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Sogar ein Willkommenskorb mit lokalen Spezialitäten stand bei der Ankunft bereit. Wir wurden sogar mit einem selbstgebastelten „Madeiracake“ verwöhnt.
Die Kommunikation verlief unkompliziert auch via WhatsApp.
Ein Mietwagen ist Pflicht. Damit ist aber die die ganze Insel ideal zu erkunden.
In der Nähe zur Unterkunft befindet sich ein kleiner, gut sortierter Supermarkt und eine Pizzeria.
Am Hafen von Calhetta (10min Fahrzeit mit dem Auto) gibt es viele Geschäfte und diverse (darunter auch sehr gute😊)Restaurants.
Wir kommen wieder...
