Visitors rate Varela 4.6 out of 5 across 66 reviews, a score that reflects consistent approval from those who use it. Being on Estrada Regional 222, the venue is easy to reach from Funchal and Câmara de Lobos, both of which sit along the same coastal route, as well as from Calheta itself. The pharmacy serves the local area with its opening hours spread across the week.
Doors open Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 21:00, with Saturday hours of 09:00 to 13:00 and 15:00 to 19:00. Sunday follows a similar split, opening 10:00 to 13:00 and 15:00 to 19:00. Further information is available at http://www.farmaciavarela.com/.
Madeira's roads connect the coastal towns well, so reaching Calheta from the main resorts is straightforward by car or bus. Fish stews and grilled fish are everyday dishes on the island, and each island keeps its own recipes. Sea temperatures stay warm enough for swimming for much of the year, though the water is cooler than in the Mediterranean.
