Villa vacation rentals in Faja da Ovelha

We absolutely loved our stay in Madeira! The property was incredibly clean—honestly one of the cleanest places we've ever stayed. Everything was spotless and so well maintained. The welcome gifts were such a thoughtful touch—local produce that gave us a warm introduction to the island. The house had everything we needed, from great coffee to handy extras like Tupperware, which made day trips really convenient. The sunsets from the property were absolutely stunning—something we looked forward to every evening. The location was great for accessing shops and restaurants nearby, but we’d definitely recommend having a car to explore more of the island comfortably. All in all, a fantastic stay. We’d return in a heartbeat!

The stunning villa overlooks the east facing mount of Calheta to the sea and has gorgeous sunsets! The place is impeccably clean and tastefully decorated. To have a pool to relax in after a day exploring, watching the sunset is a memory I will revere!

Very pretty and big apartment, with a great balcony and ocean view. A lot of furniture. Marlene was very responsive. The town is super close by car (5 min) and very enjoyable. It is very calm, however they are building some houses in front of the apartment, starts quite early even the Saturday… Except this detail we enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you !

we’ve had an amazing experience staying at this place! the view is great, location is easy to find. house is extra clean and well equipped. Beatriz was always answering immediately and ready to help. thank you for having us 🩷

Nice stay, terrace with nice seats. Great bed. Everything is as described in the listing, it is a nice house to stay in. Our hostess surprised us daily with fruit from her garden, including varieties we did not know. We were allowed to enjoy the homemade liqueur and cookies. The levada walk from Machico to Porta da Cruz is beautiful (and not crowded).

The view from the garden was truly beautiful. The cottage is so close to the sea that you could hear the surf in your bedroom. Otherwise, it was very quiet. A wonderful swimming pool and garden with different seats and also sunbeds so you could always choose where you wanted to sit. There was even a BBQ!

One of the best I’ve ever stayed at. The place was so spacious and open, yet felt like at home and cozy. Everything we needed was readily available/ easily accessible. The home is perched up in Ponta do Sol, so the view is of the homes below, and then the drop off to the ocean. Private pool was clean and big enough for our family of 7. Private parking is a gamechanger anywhere in Portugal, and you have a whole driveway which fit our enormous van. Lots of good hikes in every direction so you never feel like you’re driving too much, everything is about 40 minutes from this location, even the other side of the island. Host was so great responsive despite the hour difference from where she is located. Thank you so much for our stay we loved it.

this was our second stay with Louise which says alot! the accommodation is ideally situated to explore the island with a rental car and for walks down to funchal. the apartment was super comfortable and lovely to relax in. can't wait to come back for a third time!

Just returned from a 4 night stay at Kents apartment with a group of friends. Apartment was spacious with great views over Funchal. The apartment is around 10 minutes taxi drive or bus journey (takes a little longer) from the centre of Funchal or up to the tropical gardens at Monte. There is a little shop for essentials around 10 minutes walk away, just a step hill walk back up. Kent was an excellent communicator from first booking. Would definitely recommend.

The property easily lives up to the description and the pictures. The houses are fully equipped, very nicely decorated and comfortable. The swimming pools offer stunning unobstructed views of the ocean during the day and of the sky at night. There are no road noises, the place is truly calm. Grocery stores are a few minutes away by car, as are restaurants. Numerous hikes can be found in the region. The host is very reactive and will provide many recommandations related to restaurants and activities. Renting both houses to two families is a great way to spend time together while also having some privacy. I would go back there without any hesitation.

Karine and her family have been super sweet and helpful. We were a family of 6 spanning several generations, and the house is perfect for this. Highly recommended. Everything was new and worked flawlessly. Best recommendations from Kenneth.

The house is extremely well located, in a quiet area with a stunning sea view. It is the ideal place to rest and enjoy the scenery. The house is equipped with everything needed for a comfortable and worry-free stay. It was a great experience — I highly recommend it!

Fantastic views, really quiet but easy to get to places. Great villa, would be happy to stay again when next in beautiful Madeira

Beautiful, clean, open and inviting home! Jeanne and her family were wonderful hosts! Quick and easy trip into Funchal but so nice to have the privacy! Thank you so much!!

We stayed at Patricia’s villa for 9 days and had a great time. The view overlooking the ocean with the infinity pool was beautiful! We loved waking up to this gorgeous view each morning. It was also a plus that we had the use of house cleaners that came during our stay to make the place extra tidy after we stayed halfway through! All the balcony’s outside connected and lead directly to the downstairs pool. There’s also a “secret” access to the bottom of the cliff which was very cool! Everything was perfect! All in, I’d give this a 5 star stay, everyone was extremely happy and we would definitely stay again in the future! Thank you for hosting us

There was a group of 8 of us and we had the most amazing stay! The location is super close to the airport and the main town making it easy to get around. It is very private house so it feels like your own secluded space. The access to the beach is stunning and the large deck with the pool, sauna and BBQ make a perfect space to hang for the day. Would 100% recommend staying here! Thank you 😊

We had a perfect week in Didier's wonderful house and had a great time! It was a very well thought out, well-equipped, clean house, from the kitchen to the pool that ran up to 29 degrees! There was also a gym mattress, kettlebell, and petanque! 😉 It was very easy to get in, without a time series, a very detailed, understandable description, easy, free parking, and want for 2 cars. With large spaces, it's perfect for larger families! Didier was always quick to respond, helpful, friendly!

This is how AirBNB should be. The house is stacked with everything. How often are you in an Airbnb and they only have 6 plates? Here they have 20+, they have Great knives, tons of kitchenware, enough toilet paper, plenty of dishwasher tabs and also cleaner for the washing machine. Things you normally expect but somehow got lost in the making money machine Airbnb is now. Not here!! A absolute crazy welcome basket (have not had such a big one ever), friendly crew and absolute amazing place - can only recommend

We had a fantastic week in Madeira and Emmanuel’s place really was perfect. We have two young children and it was such a lovely place to be. The pool was a delight, beautiful garden, stunning views and sunsets and a great location, so peaceful and quiet and private. The house was clean and fresh with everything we needed and a very well kitted out kitchen with high quality appliances. It was by far one of the best air bnb we have stayed at.

wonderful place, beautiful views! The house is very modern with great amenities and has everything you need.

Fantastic view, great pool (after heating), very quiet area ideal for relaxing. We had very nice furry guests (two cute cats and a dog) with whom we quickly became friends. The distance from the parking to the villa is not difficult or long at all, in some reviews people exaggerate a bit. The kitchen is well equipped, it was great to cook and eat meals in it. The host responds very quickly and helps when needed.

Well what can I say about abor villa- By far the best air bnb we have ever stayed in. Absolutely exceptional and decorated beautifully, so artistic and clean and akin to a boutique hotel. Emma was a fantastic host, she made the whole stay exceptional for our young family. Personal touches such as a mini chair for our two year old with suitable cutlery, cups etc ready for us, even taking the trouble to remove the legs of the children’s bed so not too high from the ground. She provided a box of toys for our children and ensured staples were ready for us after a late flight so that the children had food and milk- something we whole heartedly appreciated. The position of the villa was ideal- close to the capital, excellent views , close to restaurants and local towns and ideally situated so easy to get to the northern sites of the island which really wasn’t far when renting a car. Emma was easily reachable and offered lots of recommendations. The pool and views exceptional, we will return!

Villa Gia is as stunning as the photos, with a stylish, spotless, and modern design. Henrique, the incredibly responsive host, met us for check-in, shared great local tips, and quickly resolved any minor issues. The driveway was no problem for our Mitsubishi ASX, making this a seamless and highly recommended stay!

Everything was perfect in our stay, the villa and the hosts. Great communication and support from them. The views from the villa were stunning, the pool was great. The tranquility that one finds there is unique. We are a family of four and everybody is busy with stidies and work. That was a healing piece of heaven which we enjoyed every minute and highly recommend.
