Rustic sec-style country house. XIX finished to rebuild in 2015, ideal home for vacation, situated 3.5 Km from the sea, near the golden sandy beach of Calheta, in a quiet and at the same time in the middle of Arc parish of Calheta.
We can find several cafes, restaurants, pharmacy, small grocery store and church.
It has sea and mountain views.
In the house entrance we found a boat that was put in tribute to former owners who were fishermen.
The house is privileged by a solar array throughout the day with great outdoor space to enjoy sunny afternoons and watch the sunset ..
The cottage features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a coffee maker.

Weihnachten auf Madeira

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt. GerĂ€umiges Haus, sauber und tolle Aussicht auf das Meer. Leider nur ein Handtuch pro Badezimmer und ein Duschtuch pro Person. Wenig Tassen und Teller fĂŒr 5 Personen. Sehr kleine GeschirrspĂŒlmaschine. Der beheizte Pool hatte leider nur 15 Grad. Seit Oktober 2024 wird auch eine Kurtaxe in Höhe von 2,- Euro pro Tag und Person erhoben. Maximal fĂŒr 7 Tage. Das waren fĂŒr uns 70,- Euro. Das wurde uns leider erst 3 Tage vor Ankunft mitgeteilt. Das sind alles Kleinigkeiten, die man aber leicht und einfach verbessern könnte.

Wunderschönes Haus mit kleinen Abstrichen

Wir hatten an sich eine wunderbare Zeit in diesem Haus... Allerdings war die Kommunikation mit Teresa quasi nicht vorhanden. Nach der ersten Nachricht, dass wir einchecken können hat sie unsere Nachrichten konsequent ignoriert und wir haben die komplette Zeit nichts mehr von ihr gehört - das war sehr schade. Die Poolheizung war nicht an und somit hatte das Wasser nur knappe 20 Grad und zu kalt zum schwimmen. Leider wurde auch diese Nachfrage komplett ignoriert. Die Ausstattung könnte etwas besser sein, es waren z.B. nur 4 Tassen und 2 WeinglĂ€ser vorhanden... es gab keine Badvorleger und pro Person nur 1 Handtuch. An sich keine Große Sachen aber mit ein paar Kleinigkeiten wĂ€re der Besuch perfekt gewesen.

TrĂšs chouette sejour

Nous avons passé un trÚs agréable séjour dans la boat house. Les propriétaires sont trÚs sympathiques et avenants, réactifs rapidement également. La maison correspondait tout à fait à la description excepté l eau de la piscine qui était indiquée comme étant chauffée et qui ne l était pas
 déception car nous avions choisi cette maison pour cet avantage et n avons pas pu nous baigner car elle était gelée. La machine était apparemment défectueuse. A part cela tout était parfait. La maison est propre et spacieuse et possÚde toutes les commodites nécessaires et l emplacement est idéal. Proche des plages, commerce, restaurants. Il faut cependant la voiture pour tout déplacement.

Jolie maison avec piscine et cuisine d’extĂ©rieur avec vue !

Nous avons passĂ© un bon sĂ©jour dans cette maison. Elle est grande et conforme aux photos et descriptions. Étant 2, nous avons eu le choix pour la chambre oĂș nous dormions. La piscine et cuisine d’extĂ©rieur avec barbecue sont apprĂ©ciables ! La vue du jardin est vraiment jolie. L’accĂšs Ă  la maison et la rĂ©cupĂ©ration des clĂ©s (laisser ouverte et clĂ©s sur la porte) rend l’arrivĂ©e simple et autonome. La localisation est trĂšs bien pour rayonner aux alentours en voiture pour les diffĂ©rentes randonnĂ©es. Proche en voiture de commerces pour faire des courses ou restaurants. Seuls points Ă  prendre en compte : - travaux pas loins mais peu bruyants - au bord de la route donc on entend les voitures passer et la sortie du garage est sportive. - piscine « chauffĂ©e » l’est en fait par le soleil donc plus ou moins chaude en fonction de la pĂ©riode et du temps dehors - odeur de renfermĂ©/ humiditĂ© dans la maison surtout niveau cuisine - portes du garage qui ne ferment pas

Sehr schönes, liebevoll eingerichtetes Haus

Wir verbrachten hier unseren 2-wöchigen Familien-Sommerurlaub. Das Haus entsprach sehr genau der Beschreibung, alles war sauber und funktionstĂŒchig, sowie praktisch, detailliert und liebevoll ausgestattet und eingerichtet. Auf dem GrundstĂŒck sind 4 Terrassen-Ebenen. Das GrundstĂŒck befindet sich an einer Hauptstraße in Arco da Calheta, VerkehrsgerĂ€usche sind daher unvermeidbar. Die Kommunikation mit den Vermietern verlief vor Ort gut. Fragen und Probleme klĂ€rten wir per Anruf oder Whatsapp, unkompliziert und kurzfristig. Lediglich auf Beantwortung unserer Fragen vor der Anreise mussten wir lĂ€nger warten. Danke fĂŒr die nette Aufnahme an Teresa und ihre Familie!

Perfect place for our family to stay. Comfortable with all the amenities

We loved it! We were looking for a place that wasn’t in the main city Funchal in order to see everyday Madeira. Casa Do Barco is easy to reach by car and is surrounded by the small grocery shops, bars and restaurants used by the locals. The house has an enclosed courtyard and has terraces on three levels, all of them in the sun and with wonderful wide views over to the sea. The swimming pool is set amidst green grass and was warm, 28degC by the end of our stay. The house has all mod cons and the kitchen was equipped to feed us all every night. It was so nice just to eat on the terrace with a glass of local wine, we didn’t need to visit restaurants. All in all we had a wonderful holiday and we thoroughly recommend people to stay at Casa Do Barco.
