I took this in May on Madeira Island, Portugal! This is one of the most majestic sights I saw on this island paradise! Penha d'Aguia (Eagle Rock) is really impressive to see up close. It was even difficult to get all this in one photo. I need a better lens ;). I saw it after visiting a distillery in Porto da Cruz. Just a few meters away is this massive landscape! Porto da Cruz is located on the northeastern side of Madeira, definitely a picturesque part of the island! There was even some swimmers around where I took this picture. Everyone was having a good time there, either on the beach of walking along the pier :). There was other awesome views to the other side, as well. Incredible cliffs that seem to go on forever. And it was even foggy on that side, a big contrast to what you see here. I also think I saw Eagle Rock from another side, as well. And would love to return and see more views of it!!

"We stayed at the Casa da Bordadeira over Christmas and had a fabulous time. The property was a cosy little place to spend time together, and a great base for hitting the Levada walks. Communication before arrival from the host was excellent and clear, and included everything we needed to know before arriving, during our stay and upon departure. The view from the property has to be seen to be believed, absolutely stunning. Though do make sure you are a confident driver in a good quality hire-car,...

"We've never stayed in such a beautiful place. Since the first day we called it home and felt totally comfortable. The house and garden are made of stones, with a lot of taste and good energy. Most of the material used is recycled and every spot you look there is something beautiful that naturally fits there. There is a huge variety of plants and a gorgeous pond with fish. It is like a botanical garden where you want to just walk around and admire or sit and read a book. The terrace looks over...

"Madeira is beautiful wherever you go but if you want quiet with less crowds and less neighbors this is the place to stay. It had all the amenities we could ever need and a beautiful yard to draw or read. This is the opposite of a big city life and offers a true getaway from the rise and grind of the everyday hustle."

"Die Kommunikation mit dem dortigen Vermieter Atlantic Holidays per WhatsApp ist grandios. Man wird perfekt über alles informiert. Vom Einchecken (Schlüsselbox) bis zur Abreise. Beste Lage zentral auf Madeira. Idealer Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge in alle Richtungen. Mietwagen ist dringend zu empfehlen, man muss aber mutig sein, da die Einfahrt zum Haus sehr steil ist. Besser einweisen lassen. Eine Geschirrspülmaschine fehlt (eigentlich nicht bei der Aussicht beim Abwaschen). Betten sind...

"We had a brilliant week staying in this beautiful house. House was lovely and well eqipped, lovely views. We had a good small hire car, which you will need to access this house. The road to the property is very steep and narrow. This may could be a challenge for the faint hearted, however house owner will send you a detailed video near the time of your stay. Excellent communication with Carlis the owner, and we would stay there again."

"We spend here for two weeks and it was so wonderful. The place was exactly like in pictures and the view was almost more beautiful. It was nice and quiet and everyone was so helpful. We didn't have car, so needed good shoes for hiking, but the bus goes also quite near and quite often."

"The house was just what we hoped for, a lot of space, clean and very well equipped. Outside there was a large terrace with an amazing view over the Atlantic. The owner did everything she could to make us comfortable. We can give the best recommendations."

"A lovely property. Great location. Very peaceful and clean. Would thoroughly recommend."

"We arrived late in the evening after our transfer from the airport. The resort had arranged the transfer for us and the driver was waiting at arrivals for the 8 of us in our group. He was great and gave us a bit of a tour on the way to Calheta. Our reception at the resort went well and the woman on duty made sure we got down to the buffet before it closed. She was very friendly and attentive to our needs after a long day of travel. Our rooms were modern and clean and cleaned and tidied well each day by the cleaning staff, The buffet was great with a large selection of food items. Drinks at the bar were served quickly and were good. The "drink of the day" by the pool was excellent on the 2 days we had them. The resort is in a beautiful location, nestled below a cliff. There is a public beach next to the resort which has great sand and water access. Evening entertainment was fairly low key but pleasant as we enjoyed the evening by the pool while listening to a musician or watching the dancers. We had no complaints about the staff at the resort. They were friendly and did their job well. All in all I would recommend staying at this all inclusive Calheta Beach Hotel on the beautiful island of Madeira."
