Island Paradise
We just spent a wonderful week at Cristina's Island Paradise and would confidently recommend her home to anyone travelling to Madeira. The pictures, while beautiful pale in comparison to actually being there. After sightseeing all day, we couldn't wait to get back home and settle in for the evening. The house is so comfortable and homey in so many different areas and we took advantage of all of them. Cristina is genuinely one of the nicest people we have encountered in our travels and always went above and beyond to help you whenever she could. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Amazing Madeira home, view, and treatment!
My husband and I spent one week in this extraordinarily beautiful holiday house overlooking the town of Arco da Calheta and the ocean. The house is beautifully decorated and supplied and Cristina, the owner, provided amazing service and kindness. The night we arrived, greatly delayed, she actually met us at 2 am at the edge of town to lead us to and show us the house. She was extremely responsive and generous all week, even preparing us a beautiful, delicious dinner served on the deck one evening. The town, although somewhat challenging to navigate, is centrally located for day trips and beautiful hikes. The restaurants at the beach serve good food and offer welcoming and relaxed environments, as well as sunset and moonlit views. Thank you, Cristina, for such a wonderful week! Ann

We had an incredible experience at this beautiful house. Cristina was a wonderful host from beginning to end and exceeded our expectations with delicious food on arrival, cleaning service and room turn down twice during our stay, lots of tips and information and even treats and surprises for the kids. We looked forward to returning to the house every day for a swim and relax. The photos donā€™t even do justice to how beautiful and spacious the property and views are. Calheta is a great base for exploring the the island with lots of good restaurants and excursion options from the harbour. Will definitely be back.

This was one of the best houses we have ever stayed in. The host is such a kind person . Unfortunately our flight arrived super late and she had no problems waiting to meet us at 2 am. The road to the house is windy and a bit step but after being showed the route we had zero problems. Beds was very comfortable. We cant wait to be back

A very relaxing place to stay
OK, this was our first VRBO booking and it will certainly not be our last. With all the C19 rubbish going on - they have been brilliant with cancellations and refunds. On to our stay at the "Sun & Moon" at Arco da Calheta. It was brilliant. From the start, the comms from Christina were spot on - nice and regular with lots of information. We were 4 hours late landing - but still met up and drove up into the hills. The location (for us) was spot-on. We didn't want to be in Funchal or mass-produced hotel on the coast and the villa is nestled in the hills up some windy roads. Views are really great at all times of the day, and nice and quiet. The villa was spotlessly clean and Dora the cleaner didn't leave any stone unturned - even doing our washing when we were out fot the day which was a nice surprise! Our daughter spent every hour at the villa in the pool - a nice temperature when you got in. Pool towels were provided which cut down on our luggage weight considerably. The main bedroom's bed is massive and comfy mattress - a really good night sleep. The BBQ/ pizza oven annex is really great as well - we BBQ'd a lot. But it was the little touches that really stand out - like cotton buds being provided. Having two teenagers we were relieved the wifi was quick and reliable. The place even comes with its own secure garage (not massive, but we got our rental Focus Estate in there). Locally there are supermarkets (scary parking) and only 20 minutes to Funchal with a really easy drive. We parked in CR7 car park on the sea front and it wasn't massively expensive. In fact, most places on the island are no more than an hour's drive from the villa. We really enjoyed the stay and cannot thank Christina enough for making our holiday special.

Unbelievable property high above the Atlantic testing the clutch of our rental car. Perfectly maintained and managed, with the manager meeting us at the base of the town to lead us up the winding steep route to the property, several times. A delicious home cooked meal awaited us upon arrival, along with some homemade Madeira. We hope to return in warmer weather to make use of the second kitchen and pool. Hopefully Cristina will greet us again.

Fabulous holiday home
Cristina is an amazing host, we very much appreciated her accommodating approach. Lunch on arrival and a bottle of Madeira wine were a lovely welcome. We also received gifts of fruit and eggs. The house although large has the warmth of a home. There are many outside areas to enjoy the sun, beautiful garden and views. The pool was a delight and eventually warmed up with 24hr rather than just overnight heating. We found it an easy drive to Funchal. Enjoyed being just above the yellow sand beaches of Calheta with its restaurants and the 25 Fontes lavada walk just a short drive away. Would very much recommend this property.

Fabulous visit
It's no wonder that everyone rates this villa and owner 5 stars! Cristina was a perfect host: she made lunch for us when we arrived, took us to the local supermarket and even bought souvenirs for my kids when we left! We all wished we could stay longer.... You feel like you have been welcomed into Cristina's family home rather than an impersonal holiday rental. The villa was perfect with wonderful views and we all enjoyed the pool (even if it was a little chilly in October šŸ˜) Would definitely book this villa with Cristina again. But make sure that you have a hire car as not everyone would want to walk the winding steep hills that give the villa such fabulous coastal views.

Beautiful villa
Beautiful villa canā€™t fault, however you will definitely need a car or pay ā‚¬15 per trip to marina for shop and restaurants (10 min taxi journey). Only fault was guests who were coming into villa after our stay had apparently changed their flights so we were asked to leave at 10am on our last day which was very inconvenient due to our flight home being 20.25hrs. This sadly spoilt our last day as we had to pay for luggage hold in Funchal and wait around for 10hrs before our flight with a daughter who was ill with an ear infection. We didnā€™t arrive in the villa until 21.00hrs on on first day so we really lost 2 days of our stay in the villa? If known earlier we would have arranged earlier flight, however apart from that canā€™t fault the villa and itā€™s fantastic views.

We have been lucky enough to stay in some lovely places but this place is the best ever. I genuinely cannot think of one thing that I would change. The house is beautiful, spotless and so comfortable and has every available amenity. The outdoor area is immaculate and the pool is great. The views are also to die for. The biggest highlight for us was the outdoor kitchen/bar area which we spent many a happy hour using ! There is wine and beer available and you just pay as you use it at very cheap prices !! We ate in a few times as we wanted to make use of the facilities, barbecue, pizza oven and outdoor kitchen and whilst a car would be useful it is not completely necessary as the local taxi service is brilliant to get to and from some really good restaurants within a 5 to 10 minute drive. There are a couple of shops and bars within walking distance but be aware it is a very steep hill to negotiate. Great if you like walking and want to keep fit though. Finally, I have to mention the lovely owner,Cristina. She really could not do any more to help. She picked us up from the airport, drove me to the supermarket, arranged a lovely meal for when we arrived, had the maid make us some amazing custard tarts and was just genuinely lovely and friendly every time we spoke both during the booking process and throughout our stay. Thank you so much. We loved everything and will return for sure. Andrew & Penny xx

Wow! Stunning Villa
Wonderful stay! Beautiful Villa with no expense spared. Cristina is a fantastic host. On the first night, knowing weā€™d got to self isolate for 12 hours unexpectedly sheā€™d organised a 3 course meal for us and once sheā€™d realised it was a Birthday for one of us she organised a Birthday cake and Champagne! What a lovely surprise and thoughtful gift! The villa has lovely views and well equipped throughout , with use of everything you see. Canā€™t fault the stay and would definitely recommend. If you want a stunning villa in a peaceful location , just a drive away from main events then this villa is a must.
