We thoroughly enjoyed our week in the villa. The balcony overlooking the sea is fantastic with shade keeping a wonderful stable temperature all the time and sun for those who like being out in the heat. The villa itself was delightfully cool and airy whenever we returned to it and we had everything we needed and much enjoyed table tennis and pool as a family. We were initially a little disappointed that we couldnt walk down to the beach/Marina at Calheta as we hadnt realised the way led through two tunnels. However, it is very quick to get to in the car with excellent free parking available whenever we went down. The owners were extremely helpful (we have a daughter with a severe peanut allergy and they let us know before we went about appropriate medical services in case of an emergency), while Roseann who looks after the property with her Madeiran husband, Gilberto, is English, so you get the benefit of having access to both English and Portuguese. There were many good walks from the property and around, including a couple of easy levada walks from nearby Prazeres. Thoroughly recommended.
