Perched in the peaceful countryside of Fajã da Ovelha, with stunning sea-views, this beautiful, refurbished complex is housed within a traditional centenary Madeiran property, that has been carefully restored to preserve its authentic character while offering all the comforts of modern living. The original main house houses a one bedroom cottage and a separate studio, and the original outbuildings house two other studios.
Shared facilities include an infinite style swimming pool with panoramic ocean views, a barbecue area and outdoor dining area, ideal for al fresco dinning, landscaped outdoor spaces and a laundry.
Blending traditional Madeiran architecture with stylish contemporary interiors, the cottage and studios have been thoughtfully renovated to provide a modern, and comfortable living space, combining contemporary interior design with everything needed for a relaxing self-catering stay.
Wake up to stunning sea views, unwind in the peaceful surroundings, and enjoy spectacular sunsets from this privileged location on Madeira’s sunny southwest coast.
The location is an excellent base for discovering Madeira’s famous Levada walks, dramatic cliffs, natural swimming areas, and charming villages. The nearby towns of Paul do Mar, Jardim do Mar, and Calheta offer beautiful beaches, restaurants, cafés, supermarkets, and a variety of outdoor activities, all within a short drive.
Being immersed in nature is part of what makes this place so special. From time to time, you may notice small insects or the occasional Madeiran wall lizard, which are completely harmless and a natural part of the surrounding environment.
Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a hiking holiday, or simply looking for a peaceful escape surrounded by nature and unforgettable sea views, this charming complex provides everything you need for an unforgettable stay in Madeira.
