Accessed from a levada pathway the cottage has beautiful views over the ocean and the surrounding village of Arco da Calheta. The main entrance from the levada opens on the upper level to a vaulted sitting room with sofa bed, dining area and kitchen with original bread oven (not working). The simple kitchen though adequate for holiday purposes with a double hob unit, fridge-freezer, microwave, toaster and kettle is not equipped for keen 'foodies' as it has no oven. Also upstairs is a small shower room. Typically Madeiran in style, it has a steep, narrow staircase which may not be ideal for very young children and the elderly. Downstairs the double bedroom with larger en-suite shower room has french windows opening onto a wisteria covered veranda and a large private bbq terrace.
A second cottage called Garden Cottage in a lower part of the garden can also be rented with Wisteria House to provide a perfect self-catering holiday retreat for groups and families of up to 8 adults and 2 children.
Wisteria House is in the village of Arco da Calheta on the south coast of Madeira, within a few minutes walk from the village centre. Arco is beautifully situated in a natural bowl, surrounded by an arc of mountains and on a terrace overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, it benefits from a warm and sunny micro climate. The village is a charming mix of traditional Madeiran smallholdings and elegant modern holiday villas. The cottage is placed snugly in a thriving rural area of this working Madeiran village, but still only 10 minutes walk from local cafes, a mini supermarket and bakers shop. Tucked away along a secluded levada, you are more likely to hear chickens than motor cars!
