This is where time stands still. Where the pool, the sea, and the sky fold into one. Where the most you can hear is the gentle sea or the swaying of the leaves. This walled-off villa is privacy and tranquillity, with your neighbours being the adjacent mountains and the North Atlantic Ocean. Enjoy leisurely days spent by the pool, dipping in and out as you please. Catching up on a good book in the most spectacular setting. Occasionally taking a break from lounging for a quick game of ping pong on the lawn. When the mid-day sun is baking down and the kids need some time in the air conditioning, the PlayStation 4 is sure to keep them entertained. Although you feel far from civilisation, you're just a five-minute drive from Calheta Beach. Spend the afternoon on the gold sand and gliding through the aqua sea. Or, spend a day hiking across Maderia's rugged land. Calheta is known for its many levada walks, including the stunning Levada Calheta-Prazeres.
