Tucked away in the hills of Arco da Calheta, Casa Alho is a stylish, modern villa that welcomes you in with its warm, earthy tones and soft wooden accents. As you step inside, the open-plan living area immediately draws your gaze outwards — a full wall of glass reveals the shimmering private pool and sweeping views of the Atlantic beyond. The space is thoughtfully arranged, combining sleek furnishings with beach-inspired hues that echo the natural beauty just outside.
Each of the three bedrooms — two doubles and a twin — opens onto a sun-drenched balcony, inviting in the ocean breeze. All rooms come with their own elegant ensuite, and two include office desks for those mixing business with pleasure. Whether you’re preparing a meal in the fully equipped kitchen, lounging by the pool, or settling in for a quiet evening, there’s a sense of calm that lingers throughout the home.
Step outside to find a peaceful terrace, private pool and well-tended garden, ideal for an afternoon barbecue or a sunset drink. Surrounded by lush hills and not far from the coast, Casa Alho offers a scenic escape, though it's worth noting that occasional construction may be heard as Madeira continues to grow.
Nestled in the charming hillside village of Arco da Calheta, Casa Alho enjoys a peaceful setting with a truly authentic Madeiran feel. This sun-drenched region is known for its mild climate, terraced banana plantations, and breathtaking coastal views. Within a short drive, you’ll find Calheta Beach — one of the island’s rare golden sand beaches — perfect for a day of swimming or paddleboarding. The marina nearby offers boat tours, dolphin watching, and deep-sea fishing for the more adventurous.
Local amenities are conveniently close, including a well-stocked supermarket, cafés, and traditional restaurants serving regional delights like espetada and black scabbardfish. The area is rich in walking trails, including the famous levadas that wind through lush landscapes and laurel forests. Arco da Calheta is steeped in agricultural history, once a key area for sugarcane and wine production, and today remains a tranquil retreat, offering a glimpse into Madeira’s rural charm while keeping you close to modern comforts.
