Achadinha is a typical Madeiran house, built with local basaltic stones, with 2 stories. It is a simple and genuine haven in the mountains, for those looking for a peaceful escape away from the stressful city life, at one step from Laurissilva forest (World Heritage by UNESCO), Rabaçal and the famous 25 Fontes & Risco levada walks. It is a familiar, romantic and peaceful place.if you like to relax, to contemplate breathtaking sunsets and to immerse yourself in a local madeiran experience, Cottage Achadinha is a good option for you! The house has a kitchen, a living room with fireplace, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with shower. The main bedroom, on the upper mezzanine level, is quite unique and can accommodate 2 persons in a double bed (1,50m x 2,00m). The construction with local resources (stone & wood), resembles a rustic stable. The furniture & decor were though with some old details that have been passed down from generation to generation. Here magic seems to happen!

Nature and surroundings

Cottage Achadinha, which has been carefully and eco-friendly restored with love and care by our Family Gouveia, suits the natural environment and is surrounded by gardens. You can feel the smell of the flowers and discover our agricultural land with fruit trees and aromatic herbs. Around the house there are several flowered terraces, where you can see the landscape from different perspectives: a picturesque setting with rural houses and the Atlantic ocean in front. Achadinha is located in the mountains of Arco da Calheta (Florenças), almost 700m high from the ocean level, in the border line between the urban area and the protected zone of Laurissilva forest. Actually, the house is one of the last constructions on this frontier. By staying here, you will be able to explore & walk through the Madeira forest. Arco da Calheta is a friendly and quiet village, bay-shaped and facing the ocean, on the Western area of Madeira, surrounded by green areas.
