Lovely property, set in peaceful and lush environment. The views from the property and the sunsets are fantastic.The only ‘downside’ is that there are no restaurants within reasonable walking distance but if you want the peaceful location then this is to be expected.Overall great place

The house is in a rural location and the views of the Atlantic are breathtaking. If you want to relax in peaceful surroundings, this is the place for you! Inside the house, the décor and furniture are traditional but there’s everything you need for a comfortable stay. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was very effective, ensuring we slept well despite the high humidity. Furthermore, the kitchen is very well equipped and there are three bathrooms, each with a shower, which is incredibly convenient if you're staying as a larger group. We also found the house to be very clean throughout. The terrace and pool area are a real bonus. There's plenty of space and we spent a lot of time outside, making the most of the weather. Without a doubt, the terrace and pool area are the perfect place to spend your time.Our host, Emanuel, was communicative and friendly throughout our stay. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for him and he was genuinely interested in our stay at his house. It really was a pleasure to meet him. If you're looking for a comfortable house in a rural Madeiran setting, my friends and I would recommend it without hesitation. For the price, you needn’t look any further!

Wow!

This is the place to stay if you like fantastic views across the sea with the most superb sunsets.! The villa is situated in the most wonderful spot , very quiet and not overlooked and stands in immense gardens. The swimming pool is great for a cool off. The villa has everything you need and communication with Emanuel is excellent. A car is a necessity though to reach the supermarkets and restaurants. I would thoroughly recommend if you are looking for somewhere away from the madding crowds and love being outside. We will be returning for sure.

My husband and I stayed at this lovely villa to celebrate our anniversary. The villa is a gem of a home. The views out over the sea are splendid. We spent a lot of time outdoors on the terrace and cooking in the brilliant outdoor kitchen (which we loved). We also swam in the pool every day and the loungers are a great place to relax. The gardens are wonderful with mature trees and shrubs. The setting is very peaceful and we loved coming back to the serenity of the villa. We spent more time there than we thought that we would just because it is so nice. The villa itself is spacious, clean and well equipped with great views from every room. The beds are very comfortable and the en-suite showers are powerful and hot. Emanuel is a very kind and helpful host. We arrived very late in the night and Emanuel had left us some lovely gifts for our anniversary. We met him later in the week and he is very friendly and a lovely man. Communication was great. He couldn't have done more to make us feel welcome.Would definitely recommend this villa and we would love to stay again on another visit to Madeira.

Relax, relax, relax!!!

This is my 4th attempt at writing a review on this wonderul villa, we stayed for a week in August/September 2012 it was one of the most relaxing holidays we have had. The house had EVERYTHING you could have needed and the separate BBQ área was amazing, you could have had a party of 20 with all the utilities provided. The views from the villa were breathtaking and the sunsets were total awesome. The only disadvantage were the wasps which bothered our 10 year old daughter more than us. Sr Maria the lady who came to clean and generally looked after the house was extremely helpful. I would recommend this property for families or friends but would say it accommodates 4 comfortably, although they have everything for 6 guests the beds in the second bedroom are small doubles so really only suitable for 2 to 4 children or 2 adults. It is a little intermate for 4 adults to share that room :-) Thank you for a lovely week. Oh yes, the other wonderful advantage was our dog was allowed to come with us! Extra stars for this!

Comfortable and well-equipped

We arrived late at night at the villa and were met by the delightful housemaid Maria. She showed us round the property and then departed. The house is spacious and well-equipped. The pool - whilst not large - was adequate and well-maintained by the owner (Emanuel). Emanuel had provided us with basic groceries to start us off since we had arrived so late - these were most welcome. He also met us a couple of times when he came to clean the pool. What could not be helped was that the weather was not as warm as we expected and we had a little more rain than we would have liked. However, that is not something over which Emanuel had any control. Anybody staying here does really need to hire a car. It is a 1-hour journey from the airport, and the major sights are all located towards Funchal. The road from the airport is mostly an expressway - the last few kilometres are on the old main road which is very twisty and in parts very steep (both up and down). For anyone who likes road tunnels, Madeira is the place to go! We really did enjoy our stay at Faja da Ovelha. Thank you Emanuel and Maria.

Beautiful location, very quiet, relaxing, lovely cottage but !!

Firstly the directions Id printed off( just in case no phone signal) were awful.We had to stop at Precipio restaurant which we knew from previous reviews wasn't too far away, they never heard of the road or house (found them to be a bit rude).So we continued our search till we came across it !!We found that if you go into the village and just follow the signs for the miradour (view) you will find the gates to the house. We were met by Maria who showed us all we needed to know.The house was clean and had everything you need. she said there were new mattresses on each of the 3 beds so we hoped to be comfy.It isn't until you live in the house that you begin to find fault with it.The mattresses were so hard the pillows terrible and the seating downstairs was very uncomfortable. The whole place inside needs a coat of white emulsion as there are stains on the walls from damp and squashed mozzies ! There are 3 showers only one has decent showerhead a very cheap replacement from a supermarket would do. Such a shame the sun beds were so scruffy the mattresses were disgusting left out in the rain to hold water which has gone mouldy and smelly!.We didn't use the pool as it was cold. We've given a four star as its a lovely area and house which with a bit of tlc could be 5. We also suggest you stop off in Calheta on the way to pick up supplies as there isn't anything here and i'm afraid the Precipio didn't get a visit from us so cant comment and as reviewers mention you need to be steady on your feet the steep drive and steps up to the house are a challenge. p.s a little bakery van called everyday near the gate around 4pm lovely fresh bread.

Schöner Ort mit Verbesserungspotential

Wir hatten gemischte Eindrücke. Die Lage ist ruhig mit wirklich traumhaften Ausblick – für uns das absolute Highlight.Positiv war der sehr nette Vermieter, der mehrfach vor Ort war, um sich um den Pool zu kümmern und auch regelmäßig die Wasserqualität geprüft hat. Der Kontakt war immer top.Trotzdem war der Zustand des Pools für uns enttäuschend: Die Poolpumpe war defekt, weshalb das Wasser täglich stark verschmutzt war und wir selbst viel Zeit in die Reinigung investieren mussten. Der Vermieter hat mehrfach versucht, selbst zu reparieren, aber das Problem ließ sich während unseres Aufenthalts nicht beheben.Der Poolbereich insgesamt ist deutlich in die Jahre gekommen und der Garten/das Grundstück machen einen ungepflegten Eindruck – teils lag Bauschutt herum. Neue Liegen am Pool wären dringend erforderlich. Sitzmöglichkeiten sind leider nur billige Plastikstühle. Kleine Sonnenschirme und Schirmständer auch teils defekt.Das Ferienhaus selbst war innen alles super in Ordnung, sauber und funktional, allerdings auch nichts Besonderes. Küche war mit allen wichtigen Geräten ausgestattet. Betten für unseren Geschmack etwas klein aber bequem.Die Fotos sind schon sehr alt und spiegeln nicht den Ist-Zustand wieder.Der aktuelle Zustand von Außenbereich und Pool rechtfertigt den Preis momentan nicht. Falls diese Probleme aber in Zukunft behoben werden, ist es sicher ein wunderbarer Ort, der das Potenzial früherer, sehr positiver Bewertungen dann auch wieder verdient.

Toller Unterkunft in schöner Lage

Wir haben Anfang Oktober 11 entspannte Tage in Emanuels Haus verbracht. Der Empfang von ihm war auch zu später Stunde sehr nett und es wurde uns sogar eine kleine Auswahl für das erste Frühstück bereit gestellt. Auch die Informationen von Emanuel und aus seiner Info-Mappe waren für uns sehr hilfreich. Das Haus selber war sauber und ordentlich und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Uns hat es an nichts gefehlt (voll ausgestattete Küche, Waschmaschine etc.) und der Platz ist für 2 Personen mehr als ausreichend. Die Lage kurz vor dem Ende der Straße ist sehr ruhig und die Aussicht ist grandios. Für uns waren die Doppelbetten etwas zu schmal, aber für 2 Wochen Urlaub kein Problem. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und können das Haus nur empfehlen.

Sehr schönes Feriendomizil

Wir verbrachten 2 schöne Wochen in diesem Ferienhaus mit einem wunderschönen Ausblick. Die zweite Woche würde leider durch Bauarbeiten auf Nachbargrundstücken mit viel Lärm getrübt. Das morgendliche Bad im Pool war ein Highlight. Die Insel ist wunderschön und vielseitig . Wie haben alles gesehen und sind 1300 km gefahren.

Heerlijk verblijf

Wij hadden een heerlijke week in dit geweldige huis ! De woning had werkelijk alles waar we naar op zoek waren: een prachtig uitzicht, privacy, rust en stilte (wakker worden met het geluid van vogeltjes) , een leuk privé zwembad en alle gewenste faciliteiten in- en outdoors. Het contact met de eigenaar Emanuel verliep super vlot. Heel aangenaam ook om in het midden van de nacht toe te komen (vlucht vertraagd) en te merken dat er een ontbijt voorzien werd voor de volgende ochtend. Ideale uitvalsbasis voor uitstapjes met de huurwagen. Aanraders qua eten/drinken dichtbij huis vonden we : Jardim do Mar (Joe's bar !!) Paul do Mar (Bar de Pedra o Poleiro; Maktub Pub- te reserveren) Het meeste keuze qua boodschappen vind je in Pingo Doce in Calheta. Voor de duikliefhebbers onder ons kunnen we Calheta Diving Center aanraden. Kortom: een aanrader van jewelste dit prachthuis met hele vriendelijke eigenaar !
