In the majestic domain known as Casas Maravilha, situated in the enchanted Arco da Calheta, rises O Palheiro, one of the bungalows that compose this realm of serenity.
This bungalow built with stone cladding, the bungalow presents characteristics that recall the typical old houses of the region, providing an authentic and welcoming atmosphere.
The Palheiro is the ideal choice for a relaxing and tranquil getaway. Its rustic environment, combined with modern amenities, offers the perfect balance between comfort and authenticity.
This haven of tranquillity offers its guests a serene space, with various common areas dedicated to reading, socialising and contemplation, where sun decks and enchanted corners in the garden await those who wish to reconnect with the pure essence of nature. Fruit trees, lush plants and delicate flowers adorn this idyllic setting, transforming it into the perfect retreat for those seeking harmony with the natural environment.
Moreover, the Casas Maravilha property features a communal swimming pool, perfect for leisure and relaxation moments, and a fully equipped laundry, also for common use, for the greater convenience of our guests.
Parking on the property is a privilege reserved for the most fortunate travellers, being subject to availability. However, in this peaceful rural landscape, finding a place to park near the property is an easy and serene task.
Arco da Calheta is a place of legends, known for its mild climate, stunning natural beauty, and warm hospitality. Despite being located in the heights of the municipality, in just a few minutes by car, visitors can descend to the welcoming plains of Calheta village, where all needs are promptly met. From supermarkets filled with culinary treasures, charming restaurants and cosy cafés to cultural destinations such as the Casa das Mudas Museum and the picturesque Aguardente Distillery, there is much to explore and enjoy in this enchanted land.
And one must not forget the marvellous marina of Calheta, a starting point for exciting maritime adventures and magical encounters with the creatures of the ocean.
Since 2017, we have been receiving travellers from all over the world on our beloved Madeira Island, with the commitment to provide memorable experiences and excellent service. We started as Madeira Sun Travel, a name that reflected the sun, comfort, and welcoming spirit that has always guided us.
Over time, we realised that we wanted to go further: more proximity, more authenticity, more connection.
This is how Homie was born. More than a new name — a new way of being.
Hey Homie, we believe that travelling is more than discovering new places — it's about feeling at home, even far away from home. That's why we don't just hand over keys: we offer warm welcomes, recommendations that turn into unforgettable discoveries, and accommodations cared for with the same affection we would treat our own home.
Each stay is thought out in detail to be special and welcoming. Each house has its own story. And each guest is received like an old friend.
Our team, composed of experts in hospitality, communication, finance, maintenance, and design, is committed to taking care of every stage of the experience — from pre-booking to check-out. We work every day to create stays that leave lasting memories.
We are recognised for our personalised attention, the trust of owners who choose us to manage their spaces, and the positive reviews from our guests, which reflect the quality of service we provide.
Beyond comfort and hospitality, we also provide, upon request, additional services such as car rental, activity bookings, personalised experiences and much more — all so that you can enjoy Madeira to the fullest.
Be a traveller looking for a special spot or a homeowner seeking someone who will care for your home with dedication, you are in the right place.
Homie - Your home away from home, on the beautiful island of Madeira.
