A 5 star hotel this is not but a quaint and beautiful place to stay, with unbeatable views, it most certainty is. Nelson is absolutely second to none in the host stakes; a font of local information and recommendations for places to go, shop, eat like a local and enjoy every minute in Madeira.Calhetta is a great base to explore the island from. With a car, you can go anywhere; we went to Funchal and the main attractions there, up over the top of the island to the pools in Porto Moniz and intonthe interior to visitvthe Lavadas.If youre coming to Madeira you know (hopefully) that there's lots of walking and none of it is easy going. The slopes are steep and the steps go on and on so be prepared. For all that, and the 100 or so steps to and from your front door at Viewpoint House, this was an experience not to be missed.Thank you Nelson, for hosting us and your unquestionable generosity and kindness. You are truly one of a kind.

Vraiment un endroit sublime ! De la vue, aux extérieur commun jusqu’au logement ; nous avons rien eu à redire. Petit plus, l’hôte est gentil, agréable, et de très bon conseils pour les activités à faire sur l’île. On ressent l’énergie positive qu’il met dans le logement et ses extérieurs. Vous ne regretterez que de devoir partir de là ! Foncez et profitez d’un voyage extraordinaire
