From the manager

Ideal for those seeking a contemporary villa with ocean view a southern exposure and a great holiday feel, Grayci's House overlooks the sea and offers everything you might want in a relaxing villa with private heated pool and air conditioning. Ideal for families and friends, it benefits from the main villa being complemented with a self-contained studio apartment with its own kitchenette and shower-room accessed via an exterior staircase.

Located just over a kilometre away from Calheta, reputedly the sunniest and warmest area in Madeira, off the main road and surrounded either side by banana trees, it has the benefit of combining peace and tranquillity with easy access to facilities and to the expressway access.

Delightfully decorated, in a contemporary fashion with special personal touches imagined by it's owner, Grayci, the whole front is a superb solarium and heated infinity style swimming pool with sunbeds and outdoor eating facilities set on the edge of the cliff.

The house is divided into two living areas. The main part of the house has two bedrooms, and for larger groups there is the annex studio apartment which has its own entrance, a twin bedroom, shower room and kitchenette.

From the parking space, the main door leads straight into the open plan living space.

The 6 person dining area and fully equipped kitchen area overlook the lounge, solarium and pool. 5 steps down is the long sitting area with two sofas (one of which opens up as double sofa bed), a large flat-screen TV, telephone for local landline calls, free Wi-Fi signal, and opens via panoramic doors out to the solarium and pool.

A peaceful reading corner is next to the downstairs Master double bedroom with sea-views and en-suite shower room, which again opens onto the solarium.

The second bedroom has two single beds, a shower room, a fully equipped kitchenette and opens up onto the back patio.

An outdoor staircase accesses the self-contained studio area and third bedroom with twin beds, fully equipped kitchenette, shower-room and terrace with sea-views.

Because of the unusual and contemporary layout, Grayci's house is suitable for families and friends alike, especially if you are seeking a little extra privacy.

The whole frontage is a southern exposure solarium with sunbeds and outdoor furniture, an infinity pool of 7m X 4m, outdoor eating facilities and a built in barbecue, all offering that superb sea-view.

There are many walks around Calheta and easy access to the plateau of Paul da Serra, with its many levada walks, makes this villa perfectly located for walking in Madeira and for enjoying a lovely holiday surrounded by the beautiful Madeira countryside.
