Above the rocks looking out to the sea of Calheta, 30 minutes from the city of Funchal, is Casa do Calhau Grande, an ideal location for those who appreciate the calmness, the agricultural surroundings and nature. 

Its name, Casa do Calhau Grande (House of the Great Pebble), originates from the great rocks of basaltic origin, calhaus, which you find there, some 5 meters high, a place that locals are still finding older rocks.

Activities

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.

A possible  and pleasurable way to cover the ways and roads and to discover better the surprising places that the island possesses is to walk, cycle or go on foot.
