Cottages in Calheta

Mercilia was there to greet us. She provided a key and walk through of O Palheiro and also the grounds. She was warm and welcoming and cared very much to ensure we were comfortable. The other on-site employees were friendly and attentive. The grounds were lovely with fruiting and flowering plants. Other guests were often sitting outside enjoying the area outside their rooms or the common area and they seemed to enjoy the peace but also were social and we met several of them and learned about their visits.

The accommodations are beautiful and well equipped. The host was very helpful and had everything prepared for us, even warning us about road closures due to a rally.

The villa is large enough for 6 people. The pool is beautiful and the terrace offers a very nice view. It was windy during our stay, but that is common in this part of the island. The kitchen is small but very well equipped. We also received several beers as a welcome gift.

Pool was nice, and views were exceptional. Great location for beach access, walks and downhill biking.

We stayed at Mine House for one week with my husband and our 3-year-old son, and we truly loved our stay — everything was perfect. First of all, the hosts, Gustavo and his family, are incredibly kind and welcoming. They made us feel at home from the very beginning, greeting us with nice gifts such as eggs, fruit, cake, and wine. Our son spent a lot of time playing with their son, who kindly shared his toys, which was so lovely to see. The family was always attentive and made sure we weren’t missing anything. The location is also wonderful: in the Calheta area, yet high enough to be peaceful and quiet, with a stunning view over the village and the ocean. The house itself is spacious, very clean, and perfectly equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable one-week stay. Gustavo was very responsive and personally welcomed us upon arrival. He also shared excellent recommendations for things to do around the island and great places to eat. We would absolutely come back. Thank you again to Gustavo and his family for such a warm and memorable stay!

Spacious prett and well equipped apartment, had everything we needed. Beautiful view from the terrace.
