Casa Odlanor is a charming refurbished cottage that boasts an elegant white exterior with lovely bright colours. The home sits in a tranquil and private location and benefits from an artistic flair with colours inspired by Madeira’s old fishing cottages.
Located 30 metres above the beach and sea, the views over the ocean are especially awe-inspiring from Casa Odlanor. Outside, elegant glass gates surround the pool area and lovely plants flourish in the outdoor area. A beautiful private pool sits beside a gorgeous seating area and bright blue sun loungers. You’ll be forgiven for completely losing track of time here, sun soaking in between taking dips in the pool.
The living area leads out onto the pool terrace and is completely lit by natural light with stunning glass floor length doors overlooking the sea. The cosy area benefits from tasteful furniture and an open plan design with the dining area. This is an excellent place to enjoy dinner with friends. Guests can indulge in a glass of fine wine while looking over the horizon.
The kitchen is brightly decorated with vivid colours and an attractive wooden ceiling. The area has an island in its centre and a generous amount of space for cooking up a storm. You’ll have a marvellous night’s sleep during your stay at Casa Odlanor. The master bedroom sees graceful French doors open out onto to a lovely balcony where you can really take in the tranquillity of the area.

Waterfront
Seaview
30 metres below Casa Odlanor, you will discover a glorious deserted pebble beach. The beach is public but it’s off the beaten track location makes it your own peaceful paradise.
While staying at the villa, you will be only a short drive away from the town of Calheta. This town is widely known for producing ‘Aguardente,’ one of the world’s leading white rums. To learn more about this drink, head down to Engenho da Calheta, a local rum distillery where you can learn everything there is to know about this timeless drink and try a few samples.
Ponta do Pargo Lighthouse also lies in Calheta. The lighthouse boasts an epic view from its clifftop location that looks magnificent during a clear day or at sunset where the lighthouse lights up as the sun goes down. From this high up, you can gaze over the Atlantic ocean and horizon as well as the lush surrounding greenery. Inside the lighthouse lies a museum where you can discover the history of the place through images.
Mudas Contemporary Art Museum in Calheta has a fantastic display of modern artworks from upcoming artists. The museum’s building benefits from contemporary architecture that is exceptionally unique and modern – something that catches the eye before you even enter. Mudas sits on a steep hill but is well worth the climb to get to it. When you’ve taken in all of the works, the site has a restaurant where you can enjoy a cool drink and a bite to eat.

The Region
Calheta, meaning ‘Small Cove’, is where many tourists flock to in order to indulge in beautiful man-made beaches and striking scenery.
This part of Madeira is formed of several municipalities, each with something unique and special to offer. Calheta Village is an ideal place to start especially if you enjoy a stiff drink! An old sugar cane factory still produces one of the world’s most respected white rums – Aguardente…perhaps you want to leave this part of your holiday till late in the evening!
Jardim do Mar is where you will find many of the locals on dawn patrol, taking to the waves and surfing. The waters can both be heavy and flat, making them ideal for abilities of surfer. Akaw!
For lovers of seafood, you should look no further than Paul do Mar. This is a village where most of the fisherman work out of, so you know you’ll be able to find the catch of the day here.
For those who have travelled to Madeira for its inland beauty, then look no further than Arco da Calheta and Prazeres. Within these locations you won’t only be able find some stunning hiking trails, but you’re also likely to stumble across some traditionally styled Parishes and unforgettable views.
ABOUT MADEIRA
The island of Madeira can be found south west of mainland Portugal, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Due to the island’s location, its is considered to have a Mediterranean climate that serves locals and visitors all year round – making it an ideal escape from reality at any point in the year.
What we love Madeira for is its seemingly ongoing festivals! Madeirans have found an excuse to celebrate most things; including film, their natural surroundings and key patron saints. This means that planning a visit during these days and even weeks of commemoration is well worth it (scroll down to see some key dates).
Madeira is divided into several municipals, each with a special offering to those who visit this island. Our favourite two communities are Funchal and Calheta and these are where you will find most of our beautiful villas.
Madeira’s landscape extends much more than a striking coastline. Make sure you pack some hiking boots and venture inland during your stay. With mountainous trails along Vereda do Arieiro, or more countryside appropriate paths like Levada do Risco and waterfall chasing treks like Levada do Caldeirao Verde – this archipelago has everything a keen outdoors person requires.
For those who enjoy either playing or watching sports, you’ll be happy to know Madeira offers so much selection. Madeira is also home to three notable football clubs, so if you’re visiting during the football season and want to see a good quality of football, you have every chance to. Porto Santo Golfe is the island’s renowned golf course. With an 18-hole course (Par 72) overlooking a Galapagos-like backdrop, golf enthusiasts will certainly want a ‘slice’ of the action! Surfers can access some great beaches like Jardim do Mar, Ponta Pequena, Paul do Mar, and Fajã da Ovelha in order to find some swell. Or, if you’re simply looking to recline on a sun lounger and soak up some rays, whilst listening to crystal clear waves break as they hit the shores, you will find plenty of man-made beaches & Lidos created for your leisure!
With a superb climate, close proximity to the coastline, wonderful cuisine, charming locals and astonishing scenery – this is a fabulous holiday choice for families & friends.
But while you're enjoying one of our fantastic villas in Madeira, you may well want to take some time out from all that sun worship to explore everything else the region has to offer – so we've put together this handy travel guide to give you a little help and inspiration!
