Cottage Levada, a rural retreat with ocean views

A peaceful escape surrounded by tropical gardens & orchards, where time seems to stop. Here you can recharge your energy, contemplating the natural surroundings and the superb ocean view, while planning your next adventure on our beautiful island. Embrace this slow life and let yourself be impressed by this rural experience.

Cottage Levada belongs to Calhau Grande, a group of 8 typical self-catering cottages in Arco da Calheta with breath-taking panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean. It is a simple and genuine haven for those looking for a quiet escape and a real experience of Madeira Island's lifestyle.

Deployed on private terraces, the rustic oceanfront cottages, which have been carefully and eco-friendly restored with love and care by our Family Gouveia, suit the natural environment and are surrounded by tropical gardens. You can feel the smell of the flowers, relax by the swimming pool, enjoy wonderful sunsets and discover our agricultural land with fruit trees, vegetables and aromatic herbs. It is a familiar, romantic and peaceful place away from the stressful city living!

Levada is a one-bedroom ample cottage with kitchenette, comfortable living area and bathroom. When it comes time to rest, you can enjoy a private bedroom overlooking the garden that can accommodate two persons in a double size bed (1,50m x 2,00m). In the living room there is an additional double bed that allows more 2 children to stay.

The house benefits from an excellent south-facing sun exposure. Outside, there is a suspended balcony over a colourful private garden and orchard with flowers, fruits and vegetables. In this exterior area, there is table and chairs to enjoy outstanding meals. From the house you can access the swimming pool area that is shared by the 8 cottages.

Calhau Grande is the sharing result of our rural experience in Madeira. You are warmly invited to live it with us!
