Situated in the mountains, this welcoming villa brings all of Calheta within your reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 3-minute drive to Casa das Mudas Arts Center or the 6-minute drive to Calheta Beach (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind by the outdoor pool or sip a drink on the rooftop terrace; you may also like the garden and picnic area. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi, flat-screen TV, and DVD player.

This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom rental features a BBQ grill, a safe, air conditioning, and a roundtrip airport shuttle. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer and towels. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a full-sized refrigerator/freezer, as well as a coffee maker, a microwave, and cookware. And because there's a washer/dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
