Blue Sea Cottage Villa. Magnificent Ocean view. Private Heated Pool. Quiet. AC

This CHARMING Cottage style Villa commands an enviable location with stunning views over the Ocean. Recently renovated, the traditional features combine with contemporary facilities, to offer luxury spacious accommodation.

From the Roof and side Terraces to the Balconies of each room, the property exudes charm with space to relax, breathe and to enjoy the serenity of this peaceful village.
(NOTE from 18th-31st January 2025, there will be some minor building repairs at the property next door. This will be minor, and the Tariff is discounted for this period. Please ask for further information.)
The Infinity Pool is the prime feature of the Villa, measuring a 6 metres by 3 metres, with depth from 1.2 metres to 1.5 metres. Heated all year. The Villa faces south, guaranteeing sun on the Pool from 10am until Sunset. Likewise, all rooms within the property enjoy the same South facing elevation and magnificent Ocean views.

OPEN PLAN living areas are comfortable and fitted for convenience. The Kitchen and Utility are fully fitted with all appliances including an Espresso machine and a generous variety of kitchen utensils. Space to relax is provided by three Sofas in the Lounge, 50" TV and DVD player. Internet speed of Mpbs 1000/200. And the large Dining Table offers space to relax and enjoy the family meals.

UPSTAIRS three bedrooms offer comfort for up to 6 people. Custom made beds to our personal design, fitted with quality mattresses and Hotel style linens and Towels, guarantee a comfortable night's sleep. The bedrooms further benefit from large fitted wardrobes so that you may enjoy your holiday clutter free. The latest Air conditioning systems offer Heat or Cooling to suit the season, using Eco Air Heat Pump technology. The USB ports next to each bed allow convenience for everybody's gadgets.
The Master bedroom offers an en suite with spacious power shower and opening window. The Family bathroom offers another spacious power shower and opening windows. The bathrooms are complimented by an additional Ground floor bathroom with Toilet and wash basin. Hot Water is provided by an Eco Tank, again using the latest Air Heat Pump technology. Most electric is provided by the Islands Wind farms located on the plateau.

The POOL TERRACE and Gardens will be a delight for our Guests, and offer substantial additional facilities to enjoy. Towered over by mature Californian Palms and Giant Yukka trees. A large Granite table is provided for Al fresco dining underneath a Pergoda. Commanding a wide panorama overlooking the Ocean. An awning is provided, to offer shade from the sun.
A BBQ is provided in the corner of the Terrace. Multi functional chairs that can be moved around as required. Sunbeds are provided for Guests to enjoy the sub Tropical climate, with generous sunshine and year round average daytime temperatures of 20c to 35c. All windows are fitted with shutters to allow traditional control of sun, heat and airflow.

GARDEN. The Pool Terrace overlooks the lawn and gardens below. Short staircases lead down to these additional spaces.
To one side is a small lawn area with formal gardens surrounding. To the other side is a wilder garden with native fruit trees and tropical plants. To the rear of this area is the secure parking area for one car, behind an electronic gate. Also offering peace of mind that children cannot wander accidentally into the road. A second car can be parked on the quiet road outside.

CALHETA is the prime Tourist area of Madeira and is on the less developed, Western side of the island. It consists of a cluster of villages. Located on the quieter side, Faja da Ovelha offers a peaceful location,but with convenient access 5 minutes away to join the recently extended Via Rapide.
From here it is convenient to start a days exploration of the island, or just to enjoy local attractions.
eg 5 minutes by car to the nearest quality Restaurants at Ponta do Pargo
OR 12/15 minutes to Calheta Marina, with its Beach, Restaurants and Water activities.
OR 5/6 minutes down to Paul do Mar with Harbour front Restaurants and beach
OR 6/7 minutes to Jardim do Mar with Restaurants and Beach.

Madeira has much to offer the visitor. From Levada walks to Whale & Dolphin watching. Volcanic caves to mountain peaks of 6200 feet overlooking the Ocean that surrounds Madeira. Historic Funchal or just a simply relaxing sun holiday.
The Villa has been fitted with the maximum Guest comfort in mind, whatever your choice of holiday. Madeira is a friendly place and foreign visitors are welcome.

NOTE
1. A car is essential
2. We recommend Guests to take out the cheap travel insurance that is available, to cover all concerns, to remove any financial stress form your holiday plans.

Lovely home, stunning views, excellent service
We loved our week at the Blue Sea Cottage! It was a lovely property with a modern and stylish vibe, stunning sea views, a beautiful yard with heated pool, and excellent privacy. Our host Bill provided impeccable directions and advice on Madeira. He and his team were easily reachable and highly responsive. The check-in process was very smooth and straightforward. Highly recommend for couples or families looking for a peaceful, enjoyable stay in Madeira.

Could have been better.
Host provided helpful instructions prior to arrival. Self check in was easy. Coffee tea & milk were provided. We could not use pool on our 1st & 2nd day while maintenance was working on the pool. We were asked to fill the pool with water before we could use it which felt like another inconvenience. The pool is smaller than it looked in the listing pictures & has cheap fake tile liner glued to it. The washing machine was not working & although it was impressive to have it fixed within a day, having workers on property again was another intrusion during our stay. Showers have no shelf to put soaps, master shower does not drain well, fills up with water. Dish drainer needs to be replaced as it has black in the corners (also mentioned in prior 6/30/24 review) The gate does not always close with remote & you have to manually close it. (also mentioned in prior 6/12/24 review) House next-door is very close & was noisier than what we would’ve liked. Yes we could have communicated all these concerns during our 5 day stay but after the intrusions & need to send several messages regarding the pool & washing machine the first 2 days we decided to disconnect & enjoy the rest of our time off our phones. Overall the house & view are beautiful, but the entire property needs attention. Based on this & all the little things adding up, unfortunately our experience was not a much-needed peaceful stay & we did not feel that we received value for the price & would not recommend or stay here again

Lovely get away in Madeira
This is a lovely property in a great location - quiet and peaceful with lovely views. You definitely need a car due to its location, but there is gated off street parking. The villa itself is clean, well presented and has great WiFi (I was able to work without any issue one afternoon). The pool was a hit with the children and the adults enjoyed watching on from a shaded spot looking over the sea. I also had great communication from the host and local representative who responded to questions very quickly - there is also a good guide provided with tips for days out and things to do. All in all, a great holiday, great villa and I would certainly recommend.

Great stay at Blue Sea Cottage
We had a great weeks stay at Blue Sea Cottage. All information given by Bill was timely. Self check in easy. Villa is excellent. We had plenty of room for three adults. Great bathrooms and kitchen. Outside poll area and view is as per the picture. Perhaps some basics in the kitchen would be great such as pepper, salt, olive oil and cling film. All of which we purchased and left for the lucky people who came after us. Also the BBQ had no implements such as tongs etc. So using the BBQ was a bit tricky. However these are small suggestions for the owner rather than a complaint. Over all we would recommend Blue Sea Cottage as a great place to stay and explore the Island.

Perfect vacation in a Blue Sea Cottage Villa
We had an unforgettable week in a Blue Sea Cottage Villa. It is a very quiet place with a magnificent ocean view. Villa is modern, comfortable and very clean with a great heated pool. Highly recommended for the people who want to stay out of busy Funchal. The host of the villa provided a lot of useful information. He instantly responded to all our questions and accommodated all our extra requests.

Stunning view!
Beautiful view and beautiful home. Breath taking spot with everything you need to have a memorable holiday. Bill provides a detailed map to make the House easy to find. He also advised about the Carnival. So although it was the same evening as we flew in, we decided to make the effort. Well worth it and so colourful. Hundreds of Samba dancers accompanied by the bands and floats. Thanks Bill

Absolutely fab!
We stayed in February for a walking holiday with friends. The owner was putting some finishing touches to the pool. But we knew about this in advance so not a problem. Bill arranged for us to use the Pool next door, which is also his property. Both houses are absolutely fab. We had one windy day but no rain, and particularly mild so can’t complain for February. Usually 21c in the day, just right for walking. Thinking of coming back in October for a family holiday with children and grandchildren, and taking both houses, absolutely loved it.

Ferienhaus
Im allgemeinen waren wir zufrieden mit der Unterkunft. Einige Punkte möchten wir doch festhalten, was uns nicht begeistert hat. Sauberkeit: - Haare im Badezimmer - Tresor im Schrank total verstaubt - Backofenbleck dreckig - verschmutzes Weinglas - mussten von Hand abwaschen, da die Geschirrwaschmaschine nicht sauber gewaschen hat - Geschirrabtropfer war sehr dreckig (schwarz in den Ecken) Etwas in die Jahre gekommen. im Pool löst sich die Matte. In den Schränken muffelt es. Einige Zubehöre fehlen: - Keine Topflappen für Backofen - Für das Aussenchminee kein Zubehör. Grillzange, Blaseball etc. Nur etwas Kohle vorhaden gewesen, keine Anzünderbeschleuniger für Kohle. Freundlichkeit: - alles etwas lieblos, kein Wasser oder sonst eine kleine Aufmerksamkeit zur Begrüssung hingestellt. - Hausskipper musste kurz mit Architekt vorbei kommen, kein Problem, aber kein Hallo, kein Nachfragen wie es uns gefällt und kein auf wiedersehen. - Vom Eigentümer freundliche Mails,Vorinformationen bekommen. Uns ist es wichtig dies mitzuteilen um Verbesserungen anzustreben, damit weitere Feriengäste voll zufrieden sind. Fazit: Wir haben die Woche sicher genossen, aber müssen sagen, dass Preis - Leistung nicht gestimmt hat.

herausragende Unterkunft mit Blick aufs Meer
Das Ferienhaus ist außergewöhnlich und unser Urlaub dort war fantastisch. Es ist wunderschön gelegen mit Blick aufs Meer, geräumig und für 4-6 Personen geeignet mit viel Platz auf zwei Etagen und zwei großen Duschbädern und einem kleinen WC. Der Pool ist absolut fantastisch und wir haben diesen fast jeden Tag genutzt. Die Aussicht ist unfassbar schön aufs Meer mit Sonnenuntergängen am Abend und der Garten groß und mit viel Pflanzen und Palmen. Sehr schön war das Frühstück draußen am Tisch neben dem Pool. Der Kontakt mit dem Vermieter war absolut perfekt, wir wurden im Vorfeld bestens informiert und haben alle Informationen bekommen, die wir brauchten mit vielen nützlichen Hinweisen und Tipps. Alle Fragen wurden sehr schnell beantwortet - wir fühlten uns sehr gut betreut. Der Ort liegt abseits der Tourismushochburgen, und dadurch ist es sehr ruhig, aber ein Auto ist sehr wichtig um diese tolle Insel erkunden und entdecken zu können. Wir würden auf jeden Fall ein Auto mit Navi und Automatik empfehlen, es macht vieles einfacher bei den teilweise sehr engen und steilen Straßen. Ein Stellplatz gibt es direkt auf dem Grundstück - das ist sehr praktisch und ggf. auch direkt vor dem Haus am Straßenrand. Für uns war der Urlaub im dem Ferienhaus und auf Madeira ein absoluter Traumurlaub. Wir sind dankbar, dass wir dieses tolle Objekt gefunden haben und nutzen konnten und zwei fantastische Woche mit vielen Wanderungen erlebt haben. Danke nochmal!
