About Marilyn and Marc

My husband, Marc and I (Marilyn) are from Cape Town, South Africa. We moved to the UK in 2003 but decided that we needed to find a place that reminded us a little more of where we came from. We first visited Madeira in 2008 and eventually moved here in 2010. We bought our house on the South West coast as it is the warmest part of the island as well as wanting more of a rural and outdoor life-style for our 12 year old daughter who also attends the local Portuguese school and is now fluent in the language after a year!

This is a well proportioned 1 bedroom penthouse above the owners house. It is situated in a mixture of rural small holdings as well as suburban houses. You will always see cows, chickens and goats in the near vicinity. Madeiran people don't waste space on their land, cultivated patches with veggies is a common sight. Paragliders are often seen silently flying around Arco and if you want, you can give it a go! If walking is your passion, there are many routes directly from the penthouse, or just hop in the car and take a drive up to the top of the mountain where you can simply hike for hours or find various levada walks.

What a find

5 of 5
Submitted: March 28, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
What a find this was. A charming family and a wonderful spacious apartment. It contained everything you could possibly want and was spotlessly clean. We have visited Madeira many times but this was the first time we have stayed in a private apartment and we could not have made a better choice. We wanted somewhere more rural than Funchal and this was ideal - not too isolated but completely away from the tourist centres. Thank you Marc and Marilyn for a very memorable stay - we look forward to returning.

Dromen zijn geen bedrog

4 of 5
Submitted: February 5, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
Na een jaar vol prettige herinneringen aan Romantico Cabo Vista was het heerlijk om te zien dat dromen geen bedrog zijn. Het was weer erg aangenaam om in Arco de Calheta te zijn. Marilyn en Marc hebben een prachtig appartement gerealiseerd boven op hun eigen huis. Door de aparte ingang heb je volledige privacy. Het appartement is ruim en gezellig met een prettige zithoek, een prima keuken(tje) met een vierpits keramische kookplaat en een oven en een zeer grote slaapkamer met een uitstekend bed. Mocht het nodig zijn dat je binnen moet zitten, dan kijk je ook vanuit de kamer prachtig uit over Arco de Calheta en over de zee, maar nog mooier is het vanaf het balkon. In de winter vang je daar om half tien ’s morgens de eerste zonnestralen op en zie je rond half zeven ’s avonds de zon weer in de zee zakken. Kortom, vanaf het ontbijt totdat het donker wordt is het daar goed toeven. Mocht je dat willen, dan kun je ’s avonds tv of dvd kijken. Via de satelliet is zelfs BVN te ontvangen.
Behalve het heerlijke appartement is er natuurlijk de natuur op Madeira. Vlakbij Arco kun je een aantal Levada-wandelingen starten. In het appartement liggen voldoende boekjes met beschrijvingen van leuke wandelingen. Op loopafstand is een mini-supermarkt, de grote supermarkt ligt bij de haven van Calheta. Je hebt hier wel een huurauto nodig; de busverbindingen zijn op dit deel van het eiland minder goed dan rond Funchal. Marilyn en Marc zijn een perfecte gastvrouw en –heer. Ze zorgen ervoor dat het appartement keurig schoon is, staan voor je klaar als je ze nodig hebt en genieten ervan om mensen uit allerlei landen te ontmoeten.
Wij vinden het hier zo prettig, dat we alweer besproken hebben voor volgend jaar.
Owner's Response: Thanks, Marianne, for your lovely review. Look forward to your next visit.

Fantastico Romantico Cabo Vista

What a wonderful Christmas welcome at Romantico Cabo Vista!

Christmas 2012 was spent with the wonderful Marilyn, Marc and Shannon... It was very special, lovely and festive and most relaxing... we loved every minute. Thanks guys!

The apartment is wonderfully equipped, comfortable and spacious.... as a guest you want for nothing more. The sunsets are AMAZING and the view is incredible. BBQs in the garden are just lovely with views to meet your every expectation.
Ease of access to the lovely beach in Calheta is the bonus. Funchal is an easy 30 minutes drive by car for great shopping and walking around town, old and new, a drive to Monte or a feast at one of the many lovely restaurants.

Romantico Cabo Vista has to be our best holiday rental so far on the gorgeous island of Maderia and we are already planning out next visit which will def be back there.

Marc and Marilyn are the perfect hosts. Marc took Julian and Cameron snorkelling which the boys LOVED and have now planned many a dive for the next holiday. The levada walks were FANTASTIC and well... what more can i say but...

FANTASTICO Romantico Cabo Visa!!!!!
Owner's Response: Thank you so much for your lovely review. Hope you'll come back and visit soon.

A wonderful place

Marilyn and Marc were the best hosts we ever had (and we travel a lot)...
To spent holidays in a relaxed atmosphere "Romantico Cabo Vista" is the perfect location, for us it was like paradise. In the penthouse you'll find all you need and Arco de Calheta is a quiete small village from where you can start discovering Madeira without any problem by car (about 40 minutes to Funchal for example). Unfortunately we did not find the time to do snorkeling with Marc who also offers snorkel excursions. Next time we have to !
Hopefully we can be back soon!

Best holiday ever

5 of 5
Submitted: July 3, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
The contact with the owners was fantastic from the very beginning. Marilyn had arranged everything so that we could spend our holidays without worries.
The location of “Romantico Cabo Vista” is great. The house is situated in the upper part of the beautiful and peaceful village of Arco de Calheta. This location helps to cool down after a sunny day spent on Calheta’s beach and is perfect for a lazy afternoon. Additionally, it is close to local restaurants, shops and the “Fruteria” full of delicious fruits, vegetables and also fresh bread and rolls.

The apartment itself is wonderful. Spacious, neat and very tastefully furnished. Very comfortable king size bed covered with fresh, scented sheets, open kitchen fully equipped with everything you need and more (coffee machine, toaster etc.). Cosy sofas invite for a lie-in while surfing on the web. Beautiful bathroom with great pile of all size towels. Really high standard. Every breakfast or glass of Madeira wine on the big terrace with such an amazing view is just unforgettable.

But the best of all is the welcoming and cosy atmosphere, which made us feel comfortable and relaxed. Marilyn and Marc are the kind of hosts, who want their guests to feel special. That is why they care for every detail. They provide a whole bunch of useful information on local restaurants, shops and places worth seeing. Madeira Guides and levadas walking books were at our disposal. They even left us some games for rainy days.
If we visit Madeira ever again I don’t see any other option than at Marilyn and Marcs’. As the saying goes "home is not a house but a feeling” - they surely make their guests feel like home.
