'Casa do Gabriel' spacious Madeirian villa with private garden and ocean view

Casa do Gabriel is situated in a calm rural village area in the hamlet of Estreito da Calheta on the south-west coast of the beautiful sub-tropical island of Madeira.

The house is located within a 40 minute drive from the airport and is in a quiet, private and secluded location with spectacular panoramic south-westerly views over the Atlantic Ocean with the beautiful mountains behind.

The house has one level and includes two double bedrooms, two bathrooms (one has the bath tub and the second is equipped with shower stall), living room, dining area and kitchen. The kitchen is bright, roomy and well-equipped with all the necessary appliances for cooking. There is a separate laundry room with washer, freezer, sink, iron and ironing board.

For your comfort the property is equipped with all the usual features, such as bed linen and towels, free Wi-Fi, landline telephone, DVD movies collection, TV (135 channels in English, Portuguese, Spanish, German, French and Russian), washing machine, dishwasher, sun-loungers, etc.

There is an upstairs terrace with the floating bed (swing) and an amazing view of the ocean.

A patio around the house overlooks a private garden with walking paths. In the garden you will find avocado tree, orange tree, and guava along with numerous exotic flowers and shrubs. Fruits are available for our guests in season. A lower private patio in the garden is surrounded with flowering shrubs and bushes depending on the season with a view of the blue ocean.
The house overlooks a deep gorge with a variety of birds flying around, including buzzards and kites. Binocular available to do some bird-watching.

The only sandy beach on the island is in Calheta and it is 5 minute drive from the house as well as the supermarket Pingo Doce, ATM, marina with lots of restaurants. Dolphin and whale watching and deep sea fishing excursions are available from there. The levadas (irrigation channels), mountain walks of Rabaçal and Prazeres are all only a short drive away.

Property is wheelchair accessible.
The house is registered with and licensed by the local Calheta Municipality for local accommodation use (AL–Alojamento Local No. 168).

Very nice house
We enjoyed our stay very much. The house has a quiet location with a broad wonderful sea view and wonderful garden, no disturbing traffic noises. It is well equipped and with bright rooms and enough space. We felt home and would recommend it warmly. Ontop we received a useful food welcome package from the owner. Any time we 'dcome back there.

Madeira holiday
We stayed for the first time on Madeira in Casa do Gabriel. We had a fantastic time. Madeira is beautiful with one week not being near enough to explore and do all the things Madeira offers. Our choice of Casa do Gabriel to stay in was an inspired choice. The house is fabulous, well equipped, comfortable, well located, private, clean, lovely hostess, fab garden with fruit we were allowed to pick! We loved everything about our accommodation and our stay in Madeira.

Relaxing stay.
My wife and I had a great stay at Casa do Gabriel. It was very comfortable and clean. Well stocked kitchen, including a powerful blender to make my morning smoothies. The welcome basket was greatly appreciated. We hope to return again for another stay on this beautiful island

Everything you need
The holiday home had everything you need. It is very spacious and clean. It is also very well equipped with kitchen utensils and everyday items. It is located in a quiet area. The hostess came by on the first day to show us everything and even gave us a welcome basket of food. I would book this cottage again.

We were welcomed in a very friendly way and immediately felt at home. The holiday home is very beautiful and corresponds to what is mentioned in the advertisement. The garden around the house is very beautifully arranged. The most beautiful thing for us was the terrace with the view of the sea.

Wonderful Casa
Wonderfull quite Casa, with carefully decorated and comfy rooms, a fully equiped kitchen as well as a very nice terrace to sit on in the mornings and evenings (we hiked throughout the day). Host is very friendly, responded quickly to any inquerry and as a bonus provided a sortiment of refreshments to help us with the first evening and morning. We definatley consider a second visit!

What A Wonderful Place!
After following probably the best directions we've ever come across, we arrived at Casa do Gabriel and is everything and more that it claimed to be. The location is simply beautiful and the views from the rooftop were simply amazing. We had everything we needed and our hosts' recommendations, maps, etc. were extremely helpful. Thank you for making this a spectacular trip! Ken & Claire

Disappointing
There were many things that were good about this property but some things let it down. The ping pong table was broken ( owner apologised & said she'd forgotten to mention it) we could not get into the garage, front door lock was broken, staining on pillow & bed cover in second bedroom ( owner apologised, said it was an oversight by the cleaners!) No hair dryer, upstairs seating area, swing was not clean. There is a photo on the web page showing a sun lounger but this area is now overgrown! However, we loved the island, had a fabulous tour with Hit The Road Tours, highly recommended. We had hired a car & saw what this beautiful island has to offer. We shall return but not to this property...

Glad it was the last leg of our Portugal Trip.
We spent 3 weeks in Portugal - Lisbon, Sintra, Coimbra, Porto and then finished our trip in Madeira - best decision EVER. We were really busy on the mainland - what we call 'travelling': seeing sites, busy crowds, larger cities - busy days and nights. We flew out for the last 6 days of our trip and this was our 'Vacation'. Fantastic and beautiful location. The moment we walked in we pulled back the drapes and opened the windows - and didn't close them until we left. The view to the ocean was spectacular and so very, very peaceful. I spent three solid days on the patio reading and relaxing and many times just sitting in peace, watching the birds, butterflies, honey bees and lizards do their thing. The garden is beautiful with many different flowers - the angel bells were my favorite and smelled incredible. The house was clean and had the basics that we needed. We found a mercado and stocked up on simple foods - cheese, jamon, sparkling water, and other snacks - it was all we needed. The owners were very responsive and gracious. We were able to catch up on laundry and had racks to easily dry them outside. Coffee pot, microwave, fridge, stove, dishes and cutlery - everything we needed. They left a nice basket with wine, bread, jam and other goodies. We live in California and if we come back, will again spend a long week on Madeira - the island is beautiful - tropical and reminded us of Hawaii but much quieter. The houses are built into the side of the mountain so was hard to find one without a view . The folks there were gracious and helpful. We found out the island has 420 tunnels! Our ride from the airport was 50 minutes and were told before the tunnels were built it would take over 3 hours. We knew there were many beautiful locations and historical sites to check out but this leg we were ready to just decompress. If you're coming don't let the 50 minute drive to the location deter you - you'll be very glad you came out this far and it was super easy to rent a car. Thanks to Irina for a wonderful stay. PS - they had a fascinating library, dvd's and cd's and I read a few of her books while there.

Beautiful garden getaway
I stayed at Casa do Gabriel for 8 days and loved every moment I spent on the secluded terrace, sipping wine, taking in the unlimited ocean views, surrounded by hibiscus and frangipani flowers. The house was spotlessly clean and Irina was a very responsive host. It was a great location for hiking and water access, and a world away from the tourist frenzy in Funchal. Highly recommend!

Séjour ressourçant
Merci Irina pour la qualité de votre accueil . Les produits mis à notre disposition pour grignoter furent bienvenus pour ne pas avoir à se soucier de cela dès notre arrivée. Nous avons apprécié la propreté de la maison, son confort et tous les équipements mis à notre disposition. La vue mer et le calme étaient un bonheur à chaque instant de la journée. Une amélioration possible ? Une petite piscine pour se rafraîchir après les randonnées et ce serait parfait;-) Pour cette location, il nous paraît nécessaire d' être équipé d un véhicule.

Traumhaft schönes Haus auf Madeira
Wir haben den Aufenthalt in diesem wunderschönen Haus auf dieser sehenswerten Insel sehr genossen. Der Empfang war freundlich und herzlich. Das Haus ist etwas schwer zu finden, da auf der Insel, die Beschilderung eher mangelhaft ist. Wer nicht gern Auto fährt, sollte lieber nicht auf Madeira Urlaub machen, zumindest nicht, wenn man keine Busausfahrten bevorzugt. Nur mit dem Auto erreicht man die reizvollsten Ecken der Insel. Außerdem sollte man wissen, dass es fahrerisches Können erfordert, denn die Insel besteht überwiegend aus steilen und kurvenreichen Straßen. Ansonsten ist Madeira absolut eine Reise wert.
