We had great time in this house! Itâs very well situated in Faja da Ovelha, on the road that goes down to a âmiradorâ. Itâs close to other houses but itâs isolated (only one house that you can see from the rooms - not from the living room or the terrace). It is very quiet, SO bright and the views are stunning. You are over the see on the cliff. The house is very well designed. Itâs huge. All the rooms have view on the sea.
Moreover I never had such fluent and nice contact with an owner, before and during the rental. Many many thanks Virginia and Jon for your kindness and your advices!!
Beautifull view from sunrise to sunset. This is the most sunny place of the island.
The facilities get all the commodities.
Easy living house for families.
We had a small problem' with the pool but Jon and Virginia promptly answered and solved it in less than an hour.
Great service, great house. We would come back without any hesitation.
4 friends came to Madeira to hike. The house was everything we had hoped for, it was just as described. It is beautiful and creates a special feeling. Virginia was very responsive and gave us a packet of amazing information. Check in was easy, and there were explanations for everything. The heated pool at the end of a long day of steps and hills was so very welcome!
Sehr schön und praktisch angelegtes Haus. Es bedarf etwas Pflege da möglicherweise nicht alle bisherigen GĂ€ste sehr sorgsam mit naturholz Böden und TĂŒren umgegangen sind. Der Warme Pool ist das Beste am Haus.
Het was een genot om te verblijven in dit huis. De BBQ, het zwembad, de tafeltennis tafel en bovenal de fenomenale zonsondergang maken dit huis tot een ware oase.
Dank voor de goede ontvangst en heldere communicatie. We komen graag terug!!
We had a great stay at this gorgeous accomadation. The pictures do not do it justice. The view from the top level of the property were very special....we watched the sunset many times. The pool was a good size as were the bedrooms and barthrooms.
The villa was a great place to visit all key viewpoints, lavada walks (we did PR1, PR11, PR 6, and the hard part of PR19, which is close to the villa), dolphin watching from Funchal marina. Calheta beach, the natural pools at Seixal, the lighthouse and Paul do Mar. The local supermarket by the petrol station had all the food and basics you would need. The cafe on the site also had a bakery selling delicious bread rolls and egg tarts. It sold egg tarts and coffee for 1.5 euros!!!
I would fully recommend a stay at this villa. Thanks to John and Virginia, we have all fallen in love with Madeira and would be happy to visit again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this excellent villa. The weather was a bit hit and miss but we were still able to use the pool as it is heated.
The house is spacious with a very useful games room that kept the kids entertained.
There is plenty to do locally and the house is a good base for trips across the island.
Wir haben es sehr genossen viel Platz zu haben und auch bei schlechtem Wetter in den wunderbar warmen Pool zu springen.
Die Einrichtung ist stellenweise nicht mehr ganz neu und man sieht auch die feuchte Umgebung, jedoch ist das Haus auf keinen Fall muffig. Es ist liebevoll und gemĂŒtlich eingerichtet und absolut sauber. Bei Bedarf stehen Reinigungsmittel, Besen und Staubsauger zur VerfĂŒgung.
Die Kommunikation mit dem EigentĂŒmer war exzellent und lösungsorientiert. Es wurde sofort und unkompliziert reagiert, als wir Probleme mit dem Pool hatten. Danke noch einmal.
Direkt vor der HaustĂŒr startet ein toller Wanderweg hinab in die Schlucht, der mit den Kindern viel SpaĂ gemacht hat.
Es ist alles da, von Handseife, SpĂŒli, Tabs und Waschmittel. In der KĂŒche finden sich auch ein paar GewĂŒrze.
Unbedingte Empfehlung- wir wollen wieder kommen!
Quinta Falcoes is located in a quieter part of Madeira which was exactly what we were looking for. The stunning photos don't even do this villa justice. It's in an absolutely beautiful location and feels very private in that the pool area isn't directly overlooked by other houses. The views of the sea cliffs on a daily basis from the house and pool area were inspirational. Internet was reliable and fast. Jon and Virginia were gracious hosts and quick to reply when we reached out with any questions. We would absolutely visit Madeira and stay at Quinta Falcoes again in a heartbeat.
Stayed here with parent, adult siblings and our 8m old- whole age range. Really enjoyed;
- the views. It's like being on a ship with uninterrupted ocean views (though was quite cloudy some days so consider the season you're going)
- the space. Baby loved crawling around and we all had enough space to retreat if maxed out socially
- games room especially variety of DVDs, games and books
There were some very last minute changes to the family holiday and hosts were reachable, thanks for that.
I found the drives to various places on the island hit and miss as it was often ~1hr drive depending where you're going. Sometimes it worked perfectly with baby's nap and other times it was pretty challenging so a consideration for anyone who wouldn't want much driving.
Rigtig dejlig ferie. Smukke omgivelser, pragtfuld udsigt, perfekt hus til flere familier sammen, herlig pool. Et dejligt omrÄde, der ikke er for prÊget af turister. Lidt svÊrt at finde frem til indkÞbsmuligheder og restauranter, men de er faktisk i omrÄdet.
Kommunikation med agenturet var fravĂŠrende. Kommunikationen foregik direkte med ejeren, der til gengĂŠld sendte en meget udfĂžrlig velkomstpakke,
Minusser:-
- opvaskemaskinen kunne vĂŠre bedre.
- der er rotter i omrÄdet. En enkelt nat kom der en ind i huset, fordi en dÞr stod Äben.
- vandet smager ikke godt, selv om det kan drikkes.
The photos of our family is taken on our favourite day out in Madeira - Whale and Dolphin watching - On this particular day we saw a pod of 6 sperm whales and even managed to film them underwater with a go-pro. We recommend to all our visitors that if you have time to go whale watching as it is an amazing experience to see these animals in the wild.
We purchased the land because of the view. We then designed a house that took advantage of this view. It is spacious and all rooms have magnificent views over the sea. We designed the villa with all doors and windows higher than normal (2.2m), so Jon doesn't have to duck but with the added benefit of maximising the views.
From our location 300m above sea level you can see 70km out to sea on a clear day and if you are lucky you might sea whales and dolphins below.
The warmest pool on the island (probably) - we don't like swimming in cold pools and so try to keep our pool around 27-29 degrees all year round - it can get up to 32 in the summer!
Guests have given feedback that our description does not give the views enough emphasis. In short, they are stunning, from 300m elevation you can see for miles and miles out to sea - next stop Central America. The sunsets are glorious, the ravine fascinating for wildlife watching and the starry skies immense.
By day, the small road that runs on the far side of the quiet and isolated pool area has only a few cars every day - it is a loop that only serves the houses on Rua do Massapez.
