Very spacious and well kept house with large pool, outdoor kitchen and stunning view over the ocean. Kitchen extremely well kept (Miele appliances). This would be a straight 5 stars, with one exception. The surrounding was not as quite as we have hoped. Several neighbours with yappy dogs and quite some traffic on the nearby street. Otherwise absolutely great!!!

I have never left a bad review…anywhere. But you must know this. We left after 3 nights stay of no sleep due to a “cultural” celebration including Miley Cyrus and other artists of equivalent talent, mixed in with a Portuguese mass being BLASTED by concert loudspeakers from town center from 6pm until 2AM…yes 2AM. After 3 nights of this we were losing it. The owners who do not live locally could really care less. No forewarning that every July this occurs. After much discussion they refunded us $150 of our 2 week stay. It was confirmed by others in town to last an entire week. In addition,Calheta beach is not within walking distance and good luck finding parking..,paid parking…time limited…and the family friendly resort on that small beach was filled with chain smoking patrons…not a relaxing or healthy vibe…again, IF you can find parking. The house itself was spacious and lovely in spite of overuse of scented cleaning products. Keep in mind that going anywhere in Madeira requires numerous tunnel passages; winding roads and insane traffic circles. Tobacco use is everywhere.

The property is beautiful and well kept. The owners are always available and the grounds keepers are great! wonderful area, beautiful island. Rent a car if you stay in this area to see the island , but you can always grab a cab if need too. They have everything in the house! huge beautiful windows for the best views! BBQ and pool area fantastic! I would recommend a pillow topper in the main bedroom bed its very firm, but that is my only "complaint" haha if that classifies as one. highly recommend!! This was so great we were 4 days into our holiday and rebooked for June next year!

Not often in life do you get to stay in a property of this quality in such a special location. The weather was almost perfect and we enjoyed two super weeks exploring Arco Da Calheta and Madeira. The pool and pool area at Casa Das Flores are amazing, we used the pool every day. The villa has everything you need come rain or shine. Access to walks and shops/bars from the door also a bonus. Our only critique was the noise from locals who appeared to be racing their cars at night near the property. Overall, a 5 star property in a fantastic location.

We fell in love with this property last year and brought all the family this year. It’s so spacious, well appointed and clean, and for me the view, flowers and little garden make it special. We had 2 cars this year and used the helpful garage. Convenient location while still being so private. Hoping to return one day. Thank you!

The pictures do not do it justice is all I can say. The property is absolutely stunning and it really is made to feel like a home away from home! It is very spacious and light. We have fallen in love with Madeira and will be back soon. Even though it was December we had the most amazing weather and the pool was the perfect way to while away the hours. Not to mention the sunsets - from the comfort of the sofa or out by the pool! Nothing compares. We were sorely disappointed to leave before the fireworks. Our kids loved the lizards in the garden and had loads of fun feeding them. You will find everything you need in Calheta which is beautifully done up with the Christmas lights. We cannot wait to go back.

Our second visit to Casa das Flores was much anticipated, having had such an enjoyable stay last year. This time it was really lovely walking in and seeing the fabulous view out over the banana plantations and the village of Arco to the wide expanse of ocean beyond. The large patio, so nicely furnished and with plenty of lush, colourful plants around and of course the generous sized pool which was kept at a very pleasant 27 degrees for the length of our stay. We appreciated the spacious, open plan layout of the living spaces, the extremely well equipped kitchen and comfortable seating areas. The villa is a fabulous base from which to explore the island and we had a wonderful holiday.

We spent two weeks in the beautiful villa 'Casa das Flores' and loved every second of it. It's a real gem! Besides being spacious, spotlessly clean and very well equipped it is also perfectly situated to explore the countless beauties of Madeira. We travelled from North to South, and East to West, falling more in love with the island each day. But the highlight was always returning to this stunning villa. We enjoyed the heated pool and spent all our evenings watching the sunsets from the terrace. We even spotted dolphins down in the bay from our balcony. Thanks also to the hosts and the local team for making our stay this memorable. We can only recommend going there and hope to be back one day.

We had such a lovely holiday staying at Casa Da Flores. The location really was perfect for exploring the island but also loved that we could walk to a couple of local bars and shop. Calheta was great for a nice meal and a Dolphin/whale watching trip. Levadas are close by. The house was nicest one we have ever stayed in. The views were amazing and it had everything you needed. If we ever visited again we would have no reason to look anywhere else and would 100% recommend to anyone. Thankyou for the best holiday.

We arrived in the middle of the night due to the weather conditions and straight away we were impressed. Lovely garden, great pool - very good size. There was everything we needed and more. Very well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, cosy lounge. Very spacious home and as mentioned in previous reviews the photos do not do the villa justice. Stunning views of the ocean. Planning on coming back.

The house is large and well kitted out. The beds were really comfy and the shutters meant that the bedrooms were really dark and we slept well. We paid extra for the pool to be heated which really paid off as the weather was very changeable - the kids spent several hours in the pool every day! It’s a good size. The location is quiet but we ended up driving a lot. Funchal is half an hour away. There is not much in Calheta itself but some of the little villages nearby are very nice.

This is an immaculate property, with a beautiful setting. I particularly loved the garden areas which are expertly tended. The pool is a good enough size to exercise up and down if you wish. The whole house is very well equipped and exceeded our expectations. We hope to return one day. Emma & Barry CLINTON

We had a wonderful week in Casa Das Flores. The house is immaculate. The pool is brilliant especially as we had it heated. All the equipment of the house is of a high standard. The house decoration is amazing for a rented house. Vanda was very nice and helpful. As a final thought, this is by far the best house we have ever stayed in.

We are an older couple who stayed for a week which can only described as bliss. I don’t think i could have imagined the joy of this location perched above the sea, but including an array of red tile roofs, flower gardens, tiers of banana groves and mountains embracing it all. In the evening the sea was silver or gold, but never the same. The house and gardens lived up to this beauty, with its wealth of windows and balconies, its amazingly equipped kitchen, and unusually gifts of milk, bread, jam and wine to ease our grocery shopping way. Even all paper products were supplied. The king size bed had a perfect high-grade mattress. The garden out back was exquisite, tended by a loving Gardener, for certain. Its colors were intermingled to make ud gasp when we first saw it. Freesias and roses happened to be in bloom, as well as some incredible small bloom bush with a heavenly scent. Bougainvillea and hibiscus out front created a spectacular frame for the wide views. I cannot say enough about the instant quiet such a view offered. The house’s inside character is established by vast hardwood floors and staircase, all rooms large and opened out. There seem to be convenient bathrooms everywhere, each larger than the next. I counted four with full showers, one with a large bathtub. We paid the reasonable surcharge for the pool heating to warm, and i went in daily, a real treat. Thank you so much for a week which turned out to be much more magical than we could hope for

We loved staying at Casa das Flores and had an excellent holiday. The house is superb, so comfortable and spacious; the open plan layout downstairs works really well; the outside space is excellent with lovely seating areas and the generous sized pool is warm and in sun much of the day; the views are fabulous, to see so much ocean and sky was so relaxing; there are amazing plantings in the garden areas, with so much colour and interest. We found the location to be perfect: quiet and peaceful yet easy to access other areas.

Blissful break

Blissful break

After a previously failed attempt (Covid) to visit Casa das Flores, we were really looking forward to our stay. On arrival, our expectations were definitely exceeded. The photographs look good but seeing the property and gardens in the warm light of the sun made us feel very lucky to have secured such a lovely place to stay. The Villa is spacious and all the rooms are well furnished and comfortable. With 5 adults in our group, we could easily find space to have some quiet time away from everyone else to read or just relax. We made full use of the barbecue and the well equipped kitchen during our stay and spent many evenings eating outside, looking out at the sea. The pool was clean and a perfect temperature to float about or smash out 50 lengths. The location is ideal for visiting any part of the island with nothing more than an hour's drive away. We visited a number of levadas, the sea pools of Porto Moniz, Funchal, Sao Vicente and various restaurants in Arco da Calheta, Ponto do Sol and Ribeira Brava. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time at Casa das Flores and wouldn't have changed any part of it. We'll be back

This is an extremely comfortable and well-equipped villa. It is in a beautiful location with extensive views. Calheta also seems to be the best area to stay on Madeira as it has good facilities including an excellent supermarket and many good restaurants within easy reach. The owner, Camilla and the manager Vanda were both very helpful throughout. Highly recommended.

Just the perfect house

Just the perfect house

According to the description of the property our expectations were high - and everything was as good or better as described. Plus the warm and easy welcome by Wanda was a good start. The beds are perfect, the baths are roomy and the warm water (solar) flows properly. We enjoyed the spacious kitchen and dining area and the open living room with a wide view over the ocean from everywhere. The weather was a bit chilly but in spite of that we could enjoy the 12m pool which allows really to swim. Neighborhood is quiet, only toads, some dogs and sometimes a van trying to climb the narrow and steep road. Overall the perfect location for a retreat. Many thanks to the owners and to Wanda and her husband!

The location is great being with locals and surrounded by banana plantations but close to tourist attractions such as the restaurants and beaches at Calheta. We would recommend this property.

The House of Flowers with Ocean Sunset Views you’ll never get tired of seeing….

The House of Flowers with Ocean Sunset Views you’ll never get tired of seeing….

The property sleeps 6 comfortably with all bedrooms having balcony sea/sunset views. The master has Queen size bed and en-suite. The two other bedrooms are a good size and the second bathroom is at the end of the corridor adjacent to the bedrooms. Off the bedroom corridor is access to a small beautiful secluded garden where you can exercise or read in peace and aren’t overlooked by any other property. The swimming pool we paid extra to have it heated to 27 degrees it’s worth doing as both my children were in the pool well past sunset…!! The property has everyday quality appliances and kitchenware that you would expect to find in your own home. Laundry room with washing machine and tumble dryer. The garage can fit a normal sized family car comfortably. We hired a 9 seater Renault Traffic which if you come in at the right angle fits in the driveway too!!! and allows you to reverse out in one move and drive back out and down the driveway although you’ll need above average parking skills for a 9 seater beast. The garage has an exercise bike and and small gym bench with weights if you want to work up a sweat. The information area in the house is great as is the booklet with key info about the house and local area as well as maps places to visit in Calheta and Madeira. The seating area poolside is perfect for eating and chilling out and there’s enough sun loungers for all of you want to go horizontal. The TV we rarely used but there are two of them and there’s a DVD player and a huge selection of films again we didn’t use it. Would I stay again…? ABSOLUTELY. Communication with Camilla the owner pre/post booking was excellent and prompt too.

Wonderful villa with lovely views & excellent facilities

Wonderful villa with lovely views & excellent facilities

This was our first visit to the beautiful island of Madeira and it was made all the more special for having such a lovely villa to stay in. The villa itself is modern, comfortable and extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need kitchen/cooking wise. The sea views from the villa and terrace were really lovely and something we never tired of. The swimming pool was also much bigger than in other villas we have stayed in and provided great enjoyment to our teenage boys. It was also extremely convenient to have an outside shower-room & wc next to the pool. We would recommend having a hire car for your stay (I think this applies for where ever you stay on the island ) and the villa offered secure parking (garage and gated driveway). In summary, a wonderful holiday villa and perfect base from which you can explore the lovely island of Madeira.

- great location - its 20 minutes from Funchal - and feels much less crowded and feels local- everything inside villa - appliances are top-notch, from Miele kitchen to Bose speakers- views/sunsets/heated pool. Very important. The villa vs many others is separated 50-70 meters from the road so you don't have a constant feel of cars passing by but rather secluded in plenty of flowers- owners and maintenance are very easy to get hold of Genuinely a great place to stay, you won't be disappointed. Its even better in real life vs pictures.
