About this property

Cottage Palha, nestled in a tropical garden

A charming studio surrounded by a lush tropical garden with a memorable view over the Atlantic Ocean. In the middle of a unique rural setting, Cottage Palha is a practical place from where you can set off to discover the best that our beautiful island of Madeira has to offer. A fantastic place to rest when the sun sets on the horizon. Take a deep breath and enjoy this truly warm and romantic getaway!

Cottage Palha 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!

If you are looking for a romantic and picturesque haven to rest after a day of great adventure in the middle of nature, then you are invited to nestle in our Cottage Palha. It is a cozy open space studio with private entrance, living space, kitchenette, bathroom and a large balcony hanging in a tropical garden with table and chairs for the exclusive use of the house. The sleeping area can accommodate two persons in a double size bed (1.50m x 2.00m).

The house benefits from an excellent south-facing sun exposure. Inside the property, there is a swimming pool, 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!
