Living in the design villa "Escola da Bica" - a unique accommodation surrounded by bananas with 180 degree sea views, pool and outdoor kitchen.You can reach the "little paradise" by car via a narrow tarred road that ends as a dead end on the property: the electric entrance gate closes behind you, you drive down the long driveway past your own banana trees and use the direct parking spaces at the house. The apartment door is on the garden level down the stairs by the pool. The cozy and spacious apartment has three rooms with access to its own large terrace with a direct 180-degree view of the sea. Your own terrace is completely protected, absolutely quiet and stretches over the entire length of the house. Sun loungers and a covered dining table with 4 chairs for the sunset dinner are available on the terrace. The living room also has this unobstructed view of the sea. TV, a comfortable seating area and the second dining table with 4 chairs are located here. A fully equipped kitchen is integrated in the living room. Cooking and eating outside? No problem: In addition to your own kitchen in the apartment, the large, fully equipped outdoor kitchen by the pool can also be used for cooking and eating. If there are guests in the upper apartment, the pool and outdoor kitchen are shared. Incidentally, on the completely separate upper floor of the villa there is a second apartment with its own entrance, which has its own terrace overlooking the sea. The two apartments do not have a common stairwell, so you will not be disturbed if someone is in the upper apartment. The upper apartment is often empty and then you can of course also use the second terrace at the top of the house. This is completely covered with glass and fabrics as sun protection. This is one of the finest spots on the property for eating, chilling and working. Of course also with spectacular sea views.

Arco da Calheta is famous for its particularly mild microclimate on the island of Madeira due to its sheltered location in the amphitheater of the high mountains. Warmer, sunnier and less wind - a balanced climate awaits you in both winter and summer. This particular spot on the south coast also has the island's only sandy beach. Due to the central location, you can be in the mountains just as quickly as on the north coast and the capital Funchal (30 minutes by car). The airport is about 40 minutes away. The former village school of Arco da Calheta has been completely renovated and converted into an exclusive holiday villa. The architects have combined the special charm of the typical Madeiran style with a spacious, modern style. In this way, the old flair of the school could be preserved. The detached house is enthroned 200 m above the sea and has an unobstructed view of the entire sea. Absolute peace: The special thing is that the house is not adjacent to any busy road and some of the houses in the neighborhood without road access can only be reached on foot. Nevertheless, there is a well paved access road directly to the house. The neighborhood is green and characterized by old, mature banana plantations. Nevertheless, the quiet house is in the best location in the old town of Arco da Calheta. You can reach the "little paradise" by car via a narrow tarred road that ends as a dead end on the property: the electric entrance gate closes behind you, you drive down the long driveway past your own banana trees and use the direct parking spaces at the house.
