Book Calheta hotels

I stayed at Saccharum Resort & Spa and while the stunning views are an obvious highlight, what really stood out to me was the hotel’s design. It honours its past as a former sugar cane factory — with original machinery cleverly integrated into the lobby and hallways. Think softened brutalism: raw textures balanced by warm materials, plenty of natural light, and an organic palette that ties everything back to the surrounding mountains. The attention to detail is impressive!!! Our room was gorgeous — it overlooked the ocean, and with the mountains rising just beside us, we felt perfectly tucked between both. A rare and calming combination. Even when the hotel was busy, it never felt crowded. There are multiple lounging areas, and we always found a spot to relax. The pools were a highlight — especially the indoor one, which is beautifully designed, heated, and great for cooler days or when you want a break from the sun. The large window looking out at the mountains makes being indoors feel like part of the experience. The food was varied and healthy, and we appreciated how the hotel clearly communicated when breakfast would be busy — a small but thoughtful detail that made a difference. And if you’re looking for more variety, there are plenty of restaurants nearby. The staff were consistently courteous, multilingual, and genuinely helpful — from check-in to daily service. Saccharum strikes a rare balance: thoughtful design, warm hospitality, and a peaceful atmosphere.

Great views, food and convenient location to explore the south/west coast of Madeira by car!

Casa Das Flores is amazing place to stay. All communication has been 100%. Everything is as decribed or better - we had everything we needed and more. Thank you - we will be back

Needs an update, especially the bathroom tiles.

Amazing! Loved the location, view and room. Breakfast and service amazing. Dinner was good too. Went for cocktails one night, maybe near closing and wasn’t the same level as previous experienced but mostly amazing.

Location was superb for exploring the island as well as evening walks. The local cafe's were great for snacks and poncha! We made use of the pool and garden room most days. Views from the villa were lovely and it was very quiet and peaceful. Alberto was a fantastic host - very responsive. Would definitely recommend.
