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.

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.

Eine sehr schöne Villa, absolut ruhig
Wer die Ruhe sucht, ist hier richtig. Absolut entspannen kann man mit Blick aufs Meer. Natürlich braucht man hier ein Mietauto. In der Unterkunft ist alles vorhanden, es gibt sogar eine Geschirrspülmaschine. Auch ein Kamin ist da. Wir haben den Aufenthalt hier sehr genossen.

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 !

Relaxurlaub mit erstaunlichen Eindrücken
Bei unserer Ankunft in Faja de Ovelha hat uns Emanuel begrüßt, da es schon 20:00 Uhr war, hatte er uns mit dem Nötigsten versorgt, sehr schön !! Sechzehn Nächte in diesem schönen Gebäude haben wir genossen, waren mit dem Mietwagen viel unterwegs und haben eine Menge von dieser Insel gesehen und erwandert. Der Blick vom Gelände der Villa ist grandios, mit Geduld und gutem Fernglas kann man Wale im Meer beobachten und einen Aufenthalt in Ruhe, abseits des nervigen Touristenrummels erleben. Abgesehen von etwas niedrigen Temperaturen für diese Jahreszeit und ein paar Moskitos nach Sonnenuntergang haben wir diese Zeit sehr genossen und können die Gastfreundschaft von Emanuel in seinem sehr schönen Haus mit gutem Gewissen weiterempfehlen. Recht herzlichen Dank. Christine und Lutz aus dem Schwarzwald

Optimal für alle, die Ruhe und Erholung suchen
Wir haben unseren zweiwöchigen Urlaub in diesem Ferienhaus sehr genossen. Der freie Blick aufs Meer ist traumhaft, die ruhige Lage lässt einen den hektischen Alltag vergessen. Das Haus ist sehr gut für Selbstversorger ausgestattet. Ein besonderes Highlight ist die Grillhütte! In Calheta (ca 15 Autominuten entfernt) befindet sich ein großer Supermarkt mit reichhaltiger Auswahl. Emanuel ist ein sehr zuvorkommender und freundlicher Gastgeber. Wir würden das Haus immer wieder buchen!

The most beautiful place
Words almost can't express how much we enjoyed our holiday in this beautiful place. Everything was clean and well equipped and the rooms were very cozy. We liked it so much that it was hard to leave the house for excursions. But sometimes we managed it and e.g. did a walk from the house to a nice Café (Panoeste) uphill what we can recommend. And we want to mention Emanuel, he was a perfect host and always a great source of information. We miss the view already and regret that we were staying just for one week but we'll be back someday for sure.

Faja Da Ovelha Review
The property is approximately 350 metres above the Atlantic Ocean and bathed in sunshine from dawn to dusk. A delightful mix of old-world house character, with mature gardens and a modern pool complex, awaits your visit. A quiet neighbourhood but close enough to the main highway to reach Calheta in 20 minutes. Emmanuel personally welcomed us with the keys and I can't wait to revisit 2022 when the flowers are at their best. Madeira what an island... Richard & Heather Harvey
