Massapez Cottage (T1) - Pool, Free Wifi, BBQ, Sea View

NOTE: Discount available if reserving for less than 3 persons!

The Massapez cottage is a renovated traditional basalt rock stone barn comprising of two floors. On the ground floor, there is a cozy and comfortable living room area with its own kitchenette and a bathroom with shower available. The bedroom is on the top floor and has a double bed. An additional small bed can be arranged for a young human (a child). A baby cot is also available.

There are excellent barbecue facilities at the Cottage and ample garden space with awesome sea views.
The pool has also been recently renovated and is shared with guests of the other holiday cottage on the property.

The location of the cottage is in Calheta. One of the most popular areas of the island to spend your vacation.

The cottage is one of two perched on a cliff in an area called “Loreto” in the municipality of Calheta. It lies just after the spectacular amphitheater-style village area of Arco da Calheta and just before the quaint villa of central Calheta itself.

We think that our cottage is best only if you hire a car though. Public transport is available but is quite infrequent. Facilities such as a supermarket, restaurants, chemist, belvederes and starting points for levada walks are perhaps a little too far away to be had by foot.

Having said that, there are a lot of niches, paths or “veredas” through terraced cultivated plots of land all around the cottage to enjoy long healthy sojourns by foot without a car though - but these are mostly privately owned properties. The climb to the top of the mountain can be done in one or two hours and walking down to the beach it may take another hour or two too. But by car it is barely three minutes away. And just so you know, there is a golden sandy beach about 4 kilometres away at the Calheta marina.

Typical and traditional mini-markets, snack-bars and bars are also in the vicinity. It is a relatively quiet location but for some rural sounds like a goat or a chicken.

The greatest feature of the area in which the cottage is located is the beautiful greenery, grape vines, banana plantations, and the awesome blue sea beyond.

The cottages are in a veritable “sun-trap” and enjoy warm sun the whole day. The weather is also one of the best you can find on the island on this location.
