Casa Caramelo offers a 1 bedroom/ 1 bathroom accommodation on the ground floor of the house. This rustic house is located in a quiet rural part of Madeira in Raposeira (Faja da Ovelha) in Calheta parish.

For the guest's comfort this accommodation is equipped with all the usual features, such as bed linen and towels, free Wi-Fi, TV, washing machine, sun-loungers, etc.

Casa Caramelo is very well located:
15 minutes drive to Calheta beach, supermarket Pingo Doce, ATM and marina with lots of restaurants
5 minutes drive to the nearest BP petrol station and small supermarket
10 minutes drive from the light house of Ponta do Pargo, where you can watch amazing sunsets

Levada (irrigation channels) between Prazeres and Ponta do Pargo is 5 minutes walk from the house.
Minimarket and snack bar Papagaio is in a walking distance of 200 meters.

The owner provides 24/7 support to the guests.

Irina was amazing. The home was cozy and exactly what we expected. It was special to stay in a 100 year old school house. The neighborhood is near a Levada for a nice walk. It is close to Calheta which is a great place to swim and stroll.

Excellent overall. Especially liked that it was in a quiet rural area but only a minute away from the main highway. House was well equipped. A great place to be based to explore the west side of the island. The only downside is that it's a bit of a drive for groceries but not a major issue.

10 days of hiking

We spent 10 nights in this wonderfully adapted old school house. The atmosphere is calm and inviting. We were happily greeted by Irena our host and received a kind and wonderful welcome! The house was spotless and is well appointed. Everything you could need is available and Irena will work to make your stay enjoyable if you do find you need anything. Ceilings are low and the bed is short if your a tall person like me, but certainly doesn’t hold back the property or experience!

A lovely place to relax and explore from

I loved my stay at Casa Caramelo. Irina was such a warm and welcoming host, with lots of great tips for exploring Madeira. The flat was perfect, with everything I needed for my stay. It was lovely to have access to the courtyard area, which had plenty of sun and shade if needed and it great fun to play with Enola, Irina's beautiful German Shepherd dog. I would very much like to come and stay again oned day, thank you Irina!

Charming house

Lovely and charming house located in an strategic location of Madeira, the house is located near Calheta beach which is the best in the island, also it’s located to short car ride to the meeting points of the nicest hiking walks such 25 Fontes, Risco waterfall, Lagoa Do Vento and Levada Dos Cedros. The property is also located at 35 mins car ride of the natural swimming pools in Porto Moniz. We really enjoyed the accessibility to those great locations. The house is cozy and adequately furnished. We shared the patio / garden with the owner and her dog Enola who were great hosts, Enola is a great and well behaved dog. Irina assisted us with our requests and gave us great tourist advice on places to go and avoid, she is a very kind and easy to get along lady. Overall I recommend the place for future guests.

I had a wonderful stay at Irina’s holiday home!

Irina is incredibly kind and welcoming… from the moment I arrived, I felt completely at ease.The house is located in a peaceful area a bit higher up, which makes it pleasantly cool, even on warmer days. Everything was spotlessly clean and well organized, and you can really see how much care she puts into the place.Irina also knows the island very well… if you’re looking for tips or ideas for your trip, she’s happy to help and gives great advice. And as a little bonus, her sweet dogs might stop by now and then to say hello … they’re just as friendly as she is.

Frühling in einer Sommerwohnung

Prinzipiell sehr schön bezüglich Ruhe und Lage und Einrichtung. Leider war die Wohnung kühl und feucht, was mit einem Radiator nicht ausgeglichen werden konnte. Die Matratze war extrem hart und das Bett zu schmal und zu kurz. Auch die Türen waren für einen durchschnittlich großen Mann zu niedrig, aber alles war sehr sauber und ordentlich.

Kleine aber feine Wohnung mit allem, was man braucht

Wir hatten einen super Aufenthalt. Die kleine Wohnung hatte alle Ausstattungen, die nötig sind. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Irina wohnt in der Wohnung darüber und hat uns jederzeit weitergeholfen mit ganz vielen Tipps und Empfehlungen. Sie hat zwei super süße Hunde, die wir gerne geknuddelnt haben. Irina ist eine super Gastgeberin! Wir können die Wohnung nur weiter empfehlen. Es ist nicht weit bis Calheta, aber ein Auto ist nötig. Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit auf Madeira und würden jederzeit wieder kommen.
