Tenda
About the home
Accessed over its own little wooden bridge, Tenda is a one-bedroom apartment which has its own kitchenette, a brand-new and tastefully furnished bathroom and a large balcony. Its crowning glory, however, is its floor-to-ceiling opening glass wall at the front which gives unbelievable views to the sea - even while lying in bed!! To sit on Tenda's balcony enjoying a meal with a glass of Madeiran wine is an experience to be savoured. You will love it!

The Madeira region


House Tenda, in Calhau Grande, is located on the west side of the Island of Madeira, in the town of Calheta, in the village of “Arco da Calheta”.
It is about 45 km from the airport (45 minutes) and 30 km from Funchal (30 minutes).
It has a 180º view over the Atlantic and is excellently located, close to the sea (7 minutes from Calheta Beach) and mountains (15 minutes from Rabaçal), where you can easily explore the maritime coast, the levadas, the mountains and the "Laurissilva" forests, through scenic passages by car, de motorbike, bicycle or by foot.
The Calheta / Massapez area
To explore the Island of Madeira and appreciate its landscape, the best way is to try its roads and paths.
The trails and levadas lead the visitor to the Laurissilva Wood, forest distinguished for UNESCO as World-wide Natural Patrimony. These admirable passages are accessible to all, having, however, some varying degrees of difficulty, for which we advise seeking previous attainment of information.
In Calheta, culture is one of the concerns of the town hall. In this district there are the following libraries:
-Municipal library of Arco da Calheta
-Municipal library of Calheta
-Municipal library of Jardim do Mar
-Municipal library of Paul do Mar
-Centre of Arts and Congresses of Calheta: "Casa das Mudas"
Calheta offers conditions to practise varied sporting activities (Pedestrian Circuits, Paragliding, Motor rally, Motor Cross, Football etc).
The town takes advantage of some infrastructures for the effect:
-Associação Cultural e Desportiva do Arco da Calheta
-Associação Desportiva e Cultural da Ponta do Pargo
-Clube Naval da Calheta
-Estrela da Calheta Futebol Clube
Arco da Calheta, more exactly Achada de S. Antão with its flaring descending to Madalena do Mar, which is in the island a favourite place and recognized for, at international level, Paragliding.
The new marina offers excellent conditions for the nautical sport (canoeing, sailing, jet skis, sports fishing, surfing, etc).
Madeira has achieved international fame as an elected place for game fishing, for the wealth and quality of species.
Jardim do Mar is on the island a place well known and recognized at international level, for practising Surfing.
Clube Naval da Calheta is an association that stimulates nautical sport and develops activities at the sea (competitions, courses, regattas, etc).
A volcanic origin of the Island of Madeira and its irregular landscape give the lovers of adventure unique moments, of rare beauty in direct contact with the nature, as is in the case of climbing.
