Located in sunny Calheta, a short walk from the nearest café, restaurant and mini-market, this farmer’s cottage has been completely renovated and refurbished into the beautiful character and tranquil Villa Loreto.
Featuring on the ground floor a lounge, open plan kitchen and dining, the newly built extension opens to the large, covered barbecue room and the back yard with loungers. The master bedroom and two singles beds in the open plan mezzanine are on the first floor, where you will find the front terrace with panoramic views over the surrounding countryside and to the sea.
A pathway next door will take you to the Amanhecer café and bakery, snack-bar/restaurant with takeaway and mini-market. A 10 minute walk will bring you to the centre of Loreto, where you will find additional facilities.
This has to be one of the best refurbishment of all villas in Madeira, and where you will experience a little of Madeira traditional living.
