Casa do Caminho Verde

Tucked into the green slopes of Florenças–Arco da Calheta, Casa do Caminho Verde is a rural agro-tourism villa outside Calheta. You're about 21.1 mi (33.9 km) from Porto Moniz Natural Pools and roughly 7.5–7.7 mi (12.1–12.4 km) from Church of Our Lady of Light, Beachside Square and Ponta do Sol Beach. The spot is quietly family-friendly with mountain views and easy access to local coast highlights.

Housed in a rebuilt stone cottage that used to be a butter factory, the place mixes rustic charm with simple comforts and a family-like atmosphere. Five guestrooms offer cable TV and private bathrooms with showers, complimentary toiletries and hair dryers. Surrounding gardens and fruit-and-vegetable plots let you smell the earth and join in planting or harvest.

Garden and farming area with on-site produce, self parking (charges apply) and a calm mountain setting. Expect fresh, hands-on agro-tourism experiences and mornings filled with garden views and country air.

Wireless internet access is available for a surcharge. The front desk is staffed during limited hours and self parking is onsite.

Breakfast is served each morning with a variety of breads, fresh orange juice, yogurts, homemade jams and cakes. Much of the breakfast comes from the property's own vegetables and fruit for a true farm-to-table start.
