Villa Calcada Portugal

Villa Calcada sits poised on the waterfront, with the fresh sea breeze weaving its way through the gardens and living spaces, whilst the villa looks out to the ever-changing landscape of the Gulf Stream. This charming property is situated in Fajã Do Mar, where temperatures never drop below 19ºC. Positioned thirty metres above a deserted pebble beach, this idyllic, character-filled three-bedroom villa feels like a private retreat and an idyllic holiday home for friends and family on the dramatic Madeira coastline.
Throughout the property, there is a relaxed atmosphere. Modern furnishings blend in with character features to create a warm and welcoming holiday home, with special touches that make your holiday feel completely unique. Within the villa, the main living space is bright and open plan with large windows looking straight out over the gardens and coastline. Overflowing with character, the room includes a social dining table and a large sofa where you can put your feet up and relax after busy days exploring Madeira. An elegant winding staircase guides you up towards the exposed ceiling rafters and mezzanine space with two single beds, perfect for kids to share. From exposed stonework and ceilings t intricate tiling and elegant handrails, every corner of the room has something special and unique to offer, dividing up these social living spaces even when they are in one room. The space is perfect for celebrations, as well as relaxed meals, enjoying each other’s company away from busy day-to-day lives. The quirky but fully equipped kitchen wraps around the old bread oven chimney, with plenty of space to cook up fabulous home-cooked meals, taking inspiration from classic Madeiran recipes!
The bedrooms create plenty of room for eight guests to stay, all with plenty of storage for your belongings. There are two bedrooms that can be made up as either a double bed or two single. As well as a fabulous master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and access out to the garden. 
Outside, Villa Calcada makes the most of its beautiful setting. The pool looks out towards the water, so you can enjoy relaxing in the pool whilst still gazing out to the horizon. Comfortable seating and sun loungers are dotted throughout the outdoor living spaces, so you can find your own private corner to read a book and enjoy the peaceful nature of this location. A pathway and some steps lead you down to the rocky beach thirty metres below, where you will find a lovely little beach hut shared by three of the villas in this location. Villa Calcada is the perfect base for exploring Madeira’s coastline, a welcoming holiday home for every guest.With temperatures that never drop below 19ºC, it is no surprise that Madeira has become an ever-popular holiday spot for travellers from all over the world! Found some several hundred kilometres west of the African coast, Madeira is a stunning mountainous emerald island bordered by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream. Madeira was the first island to be discovered by Portuguese navigators in 1419 and quickly became an important resting place on the long trip to the new world. From these humble beginnings, now the culture, history, stunning nature and the array of sea and land activities draw visitors in as a destination for holidays.
Villa Calcada is located in Fajã Do Mar, just a short way along the coast from Madalena do Mar, a small village located on the southwest coast of the island with beautiful sea and cliff views. The charm and character of the fishing village are alluring, with a beautiful promenade along the pebble beach and several restaurants for lazy lunches or evenings out. The location and warm climate have helped it to establish the biggest banana plantations on the island, so make sure you try some of the local fruit!
If you are after a sandy beach, then Calheta, with its man-made golden beach, is the perfect stop off. Popular with tourists and locals alike, the marina is alive with activity, and there are plenty of choices when it comes to bars and restaurants, so you can keep yourselves fuelled for a day on the beach. Easily reached within a fifteen-minute drive of the villa, the hardest decision is always beach or pool?! Calheta is also famous for producing the best white rum ‘Aguadente’, a special ingredient of the typical Madeiran drink ‘Poncha’. If you fancy an alternative experience during your stay and are interested in knowing how the white rum is made, we recommend a tour of the ‘Engenho da Calheta’, the rum distillery where you can wander around and sample the produce.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
