Chalets à Calheta

Giuliana Italie

Me and my boyfriend spent a total of 6 days in the Tropical Chalet. We could have stayed there for at least another month. The place's absolutely lovely. Basically it's straight among banana trees and other beautiful tropical plants and flowers. There're very few other houses in the neighborhood and the closest main street's very quiet making the whole area very peaceful. The backyard has a great view over the ocean and the surrounding banana trees. Also, the hammock's a nice touch to the whole experience. The balcony on the first floor's anotheru lovely space and the house itself is functional though not particularly luxurious or equipped. The only thing tricky is maybe the fact that the street to get to the house's very steep and narrow (some taxis refuse to drive down there). The suggestion is to get a car or even better a motorbike. By foot it's nice to walk down to the beach or through the levadas that go along the coastline. Though mind that it's a very long and steep way to get to the nearest supermarket, bar or shop. This is another reason why having a car/motorbike is highly advisable. Overall, a very nice and recommended accommodation for ocean-loving couples/singles seeking a place to enjoy nature and tranquility.

Staying in this house was really an experience. This is a house with a garden intended for relaxation with a view of the sea. The owner has a sense of design and every detail in the house is drawn to perfection. I was inspired here for our own apartment after returning. I recommend having your own car here, as the house is very much on a hill, but a car is still suitable for exploring the whole of Madeira. There are many cats living here, even around the house. The owner does not want to feed them, because then they would move in, I understand that. But cats will be happy if you give them a cat can somewhere on the street, if you like animals. A lovely, relaxing stay, highly recommend.
