Villa Mouco sits perched high on the hillside overlooking Arco da Calheta enjoying breathtaking views over the rooftops and to the ocean beyond. This modern villa in a quiet residential area has three large balconies furnished with beautiful plants and palms from which to enjoy this incredible vista and make the most of the amazing skies particularly at sunrise and sunset.  Villa Mouco offers spectacular accommodation for up to six guests for that very special holiday.

The dramatic entrance to Villa Mouco with its black and while chevron tiled terracing, jade green steps and flamboyant front door suggests that you have arrived somewhere special, and when you open that front door, you won’t be disappointed! 

This flamboyant door opens directly into the large open plan lounge, dining area and kitchen where you are met with the quirky eclectic mix of the spectacular furnishings in the bright colours of the orient, a large turquoise sofa, a couple of golden chairs with matching footstools and a centrepiece bright red ancient Chinese style sofa, the wall furniture and lacquered chests in jade and red, the icing on this cake being the large Buddha figurines and pieces of Chinese art. 

All of this almost takes away from the large glass doors opening onto the terrace which runs the full length of the property where you can enjoy the sights of the city of Calheta below or watch the paragliders from Madeira Paragliding nearby competing with soaring birds. The minimalist design of wonderful kitchen with its huge peninsula working area fails to give the true impression of its fabulousness, you really do have everything you could wish at your fingertips, whether to enjoy a feast at the enormous table or to enjoy a snack at the partially covered table on the terrace. One of the many fabulous features of the villa is its secrets, one of which is the snug hidden away behind the dining area, here you can chill out on the humongous soft sofa to watch tv or just take some time out, I’ll leave you to find the others.

The three bedrooms are on the level below here, all opening on to the terrace and the steps down to the pool.  Each one is furnished to the most amazing standard and the décor is mind blowing, again with a strong Asian influence.  Two of the rooms have kingsize 4 poster style beds, whilst the other has two single beds, all have black out blinds and fabulous en suite bathrooms with rain showers.

The large 10.m x 3.5mpool on the lower level is a fantastic minimalist space with only a few sun loungers and a swing bed and 3 bean bags around it, relax in this special place with a cool drink or enjoy your swim under the watchful eye of a large Buddha. Whilst you have showering facilities in your room there is the quirkiest of showers on poolside, children will absolutely love it.
