Cottage Sol, a special retreat facing the sun

It is special to wake up in this cosy and picturesque cottage, full of light, with all the nature sounds around. A private getaway, near the sky, with an incredible panoramic view over the Atlantic Ocean. You will fill you are in the top of the world. Join us to enjoy these peaceful and dreamy moments while having a truly local and rural experience in Madeira Island.

Cottage Sol belongs to Calhau Grande, a group of 8 typical self-catering cottages in Arco da Calheta with breath-taking panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean. It is a simple and genuine haven for those looking for a quiet escape and a real experience of Madeira Island’s lifestyle.

Deployed on private terraces, the rustic oceanfront cottages, which have been carefully and eco-friendly restored with love and care by our Family Gouveia, suit the natural environment and are surrounded by tropical gardens. You can feel the smell of the flowers, relax by the swimming pool, enjoy wonderful sunsets and discover our agricultural land with fruit trees, vegetables and aromatic herbs. It is a familiar, romantic and peaceful place away from the stressful city living!

Cottage Sol is quite exclusive, as it is slightly detached from the main property and has its own limited backyard space. It is an open space house with kitchenette, bathroom, comfortable mezzanine lounging area on the upper floor and a special balcony that embraces the sky and the ocean. The cottage has great floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors towards the view. The sleeping area can accommodate two persons in a double size bed (1,50m x 2,00m). In the mezzanine area there is an additional double bed (1,40m x 2,00m) that allows 2 children to stay.

The house benefits from an excellent south-facing sun exposure. In the exterior area, there is a colourful garden with barbecue, table and chairs for the exclusive use of the house. Even independent from the main property, the house has access to the pool area that is shared by the 8 cottages.

Calhau Grande is the sharing result of our rural experience in Madeira. You are warmly invited to live it with us!
