Chalet Tropical

Cosy and quiet place, properly relaxing accomodation. Would definitely return to stay again.

Pros: This is a simple but charming cottage. The location was exactly what we expected: views, quiet, greenery, friendly cat visiting, monstera deliciosa and maracuja fruit in the garden, relaxing surroundings. There is reasonably easy acces to the beach via banana fields or steps just next to the property. The beach is stony and swimming is possible when sea is quiet (use watershoes). Regarding facilities -you will find the most of what you need, some salt, sugar, coffee capsules, washing machine, iron, bbq, soap, basic cleaning products. Bedroom window with mosquito net so you can sleep comfortably with window opened. We liked the hammock, the bbq, eating outside, extra blankets, sunsets on upper terrace. We were welcomed by very friendly hosts, provided all info and advice. The nearest supermarket PingoDoce just a few minutes by car in Calheta. This was our 3rd visit to Madeira, we spent 2 weeks in the cottage and overall this was a great choice.

Cons: The access road from the main road is a bit of a challenge (even for Madeira standards)- steep and narrow (so no large cars advisable and full insurance advisable) but worth it if you appreciate quiet surroundings. Separate hot and cold water taps in kitchen and lower bathroom sink (hot water is really hot! so be careful). Cover the shower drain with a cloth in the evening to prevent smell from drains. All above dislikes are rather not very significant, just practical info.

Perfect private place to relax

Pros: Things that we enjoyed the most during our stay was privacy, sunset views, possibility to cook food inside and outside on the coils, and a beautiful bedroom with bathroom.

Cons: Probably the only thing we did not like was a road leading to the house. It was very scary to drive up and down the road.

Pros: We really enjoyed our stay at Chalet Tropical. It's the perfect place for anyone seeking peace and relaxation. The garden has a wonderful view of the sea, and in the evenings, you can fall asleep listening to the waves and the animals. We would love to come again.

Romantic getaway

Pros: The house is ideal for a romantic getaway, the view is amazing, the garden is stunning and you have every needed amenity in the house.

Cons: The road is very steep and narrow, so every time going out and back we were a bit worried, but the house deserves that experience.

Nature, ocean and relaxation

Pros: The cottage is located in a wonderful area. It gives a sense of isolation and promotes relaxation. Within 5 minutes you can go down to the pebbly beach to take a swim. You can also go for a short walk along the nearby cliffs. The house has everything you need. It is comfortable, clean and nice. A small garden allows you to relax. The host is very nice and helpful.

Cons: The descent to the cottage is very beautiful but sharp. It's difficult to pass each other if you encounter an oncoming car. If you are worried, you can leave your car above by the old road and go down the last 150 meters on foot.

Pros: Beautiful view, hammock, garden, terrace, bedroom. It was great overall.

Cons: It was not possible to rent the appartment for 4 nights. So I had to book voor a week and left after 4 nights. There was no acces to the beach (or we couldn’t find it). No shop in the neighborhood for breakfast. So do your shopping before you arrive.

Pros: De locatie, het uitzicht, de tuin, de rust en het wilde strand

Cons: Niets

Highly recommended for couples.

Pros: Wonderful location. Very stylish interior and exterior. Quiet, great privacy. Wonderful garden with flowers and tropical fruits, and ocean view with sunset. Great, responsive host.

Cons: The house is not marked on the road side, it is difficult to idetify upon the first arrival. A better description on booking.com and/or better marking on the street side would be appreciated. The road to the house is very narrow, very steep, not lighted: a very challenging drive, particularly in the dark. Parking near on the main road in limited to two cars, sometimes no place left, more parking available a few hundred meters uphill. Communication with the host might not be instantaneous.

Pros: Ein unglaublich tolles, geschmackvoll eingerichtetes und sehr sauberes Haus in einer einzigartigen Lage abseits des Massentourismus ist das Charlet Tropical. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt!

Cons: Die steile Anfahrt ist etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber machbar. Angekommen gibt es einen geräumigen Parkplatz.

Complètement reposé et envie de revenir

Pros: Le calme, la nature, le charme de l’établissement, le paysage

Cons: L’accès donnait des frissons
