Calhau Grande’s heart. It was here that everything started.
Close to the ocean and still near the verdant mountain, Calhau Grande is the perfect location to spend a great holiday time in Madeira Island. Deployed on terraces, each cottage has its own private exterior area, which take advantage of beautiful wide views and warm temperatures. Calhau Grande is a strategic point to know Levadas, enjoy the mountain and sea activities, profiting from the simplicity and harmony of the local traditions. The hilly landscape and the ocean front will certainly provide to all guests different natural and cultural activities. We, Family Gouveia, are always available to introduce you to our wonderful island. We will be your hosts in Calhau Grande.
