Madeira - Location |

Madeira is
known for its year round temperate climate with even winter temperatures rarely
falling below 20 degrees celsius. Unlike its
Canary Island neighbours, the island is abundantly green with hedgerows
full of flowers.
This
stretch of coast, known as the 'Costa Verde' boasts some of the most
beautiful views in Madeira and as such is fast becoming the place to
live and holiday for the discerning.
Situated
in South West Madeira and just a 40 minute drive from the airport 'A
Vigia' (The Lookout) sits in an enviable hillside position overlooking
the pretty village of Arco da Calheta with stunning sea views beyond.
The house
is just a five minute drive from two sandy beaches and the marina with
its beach bars.
There
are several good and inexpensive restaurants nearby and for those that
fancy more of a night out, Funchal, Madeira's cosmopolitan capital is
30 minutes away by car. Arco da Calheta and the surrounding villages
have small mini markets and a bakery, but more extensive supermarket
shopping can be found at Calheta Beach and in the town of Ribera Brava,
just 15 minutes away.

Testimonials |
From
the moment we turned off the 'highway' into the village of Arco de
Calheta, we were transported into a different world. We never failed to
be exhilarated by the remarkable zig-zag climb through the village to A
Vigia, whose views are truly magnificent over the whole of Arco de
Calheta and the ocean far below. And the sunsets, wow… The
villa
exceeded our expectations in terms of accommodation and finish and is
great value for money. And we were knocked out by the new beach and
marina just a short drive away and the local restaurants which offer
good inexpensive food. We are absolutely convinced that A Vigia is THE
perfect location for a vacation in Madeira –
there’s no
better place to be based. One of our best holidays ever. Thank you!
