Guest House Taking Steps Towards Sustainability

Calhau Grande, with its roots embedded in the charming region of Arco da Calheta, is an eco-conscious haven that honours the natural landscape. From the start, the family behind Calhau Grande aimed to minimize their impact on the surrounding environment, carefully restoring traditional houses to blend seamlessly with the rural setting. This family project breathes new life into antique structures, whilst preserving the unique Madeiran dry-stone architectural design. His careful choice of rehabilitation techniques and materials ensures that even the new structures, including a meticulously placed swimming pool, have minimal impact on the countryside surroundings.

Embracing a truly eco-living ethos, Calhau Grande balances its built area with abundant green spaces teeming with local flora. Clever use of natural springs provides irrigation for their gardens, preserving potable water, and creating a habitat for local wildlife. Additionally, the cottages are thoughtfully designed with ample glass walls to harness natural light and warmth, reducing the need for artificial temperature regulation. A range of eco-friendly measures underscore their commitment to the environment: from the use of natural products and minimal chemicals, to recycling organic waste for fertilizer, and even producing their own solar-powered energy, making the establishment self-sufficient. A commitment to eco-friendly laundry services and handcrafted furniture from recycled wood further enhance the sustainable footprint of this delightful retreat.
