    Small, but beautiful stone house in the vineyards of Calheta. Very quiet - you can sleep and wake up to the sounds of shearwaters and other birds. Upstairs is the bedroom with a very comfortable mattress, downstairs are the bathroom, living room...

Fátima Soares
The house Adega Velha was recovered from an ancient cellar intended for wine production. It has good indoor and outdoor comfort conditions. It is ideal place for romantic holiday with your partner to relax and enjoy the natural beauty.
I am an elementary school teacher with a degree in Physical Education. I am reformed. I recovered some old houses of family for holidays and now occupy most of my time in this activity. I like contact with other people, other cultures.
Local houses are cellars for the production of wine or for a holiday. Is an area of vineyards near the sea and a natural pool. Very quiet place but with very friendly people who know how to welcome its visitors.
