| Location |
Loreto is the village immediately to the west of Arco da Calheta, in the Parish of Calheta, on the south-west coast of Madeira. This area is renowned for having the best climate in Madeira.
The area enjoys good access to the sea, a new marina complex, and the natural beauty of the coastline, making it the perfect location of choice for holiday and permanent residences alike. Calheta also serves as a starting point for various mountain walks, with levadas in abundance. The future golf course in Calheta and a second marina complex in Ponta do Sol also adds to the attractions of the area.
All services are available in the area, including supermarkets, shops, banks, medical services, post office, schools, hotels, etc. The "Quinta das Mudas" cultural center, with world class art events in congresses, has proven to be another great asset. The motorway provides easy access to Funchal (30 min.), the airport (45 min.) and site for the new 18-hole golf course in Ponta do Pargo (15 min.) |
| The Property |
This small but very functional country cottage is the result of an exceptional renovation job carried out on one of the traditional stone madeiran cottages that dot the countryside. It is on two levels, has the original stone walls, and offers a quaint and cozy home for holiday or weekend use.
The living room and kitchen lead out to the covered porch/terrace with a typical barbecue area. There is a car entrance and parking area. The surrounding walls are in stone and wood. Small garden.
The property has been very well renovated, with good taste. The stone walls have been treated and left exposed. The materials used were carefully selected, like the portuguese paving on the ground floor floors and exterior, wood flooring upstairs, shutters, etc. The bathroom and WC were modernised. |
