About this property

The villa has stunning views of the sea and mountains. It was built to a luxury specification and the architect has done a wonderful job, taking advantage of the views by designing a 4 bedroom villa which fits perfectly in the land entitled ' Sitio dos Falcoes' (site of the falcons) and creating all 'rooms with a view'. The villa has 3 double rooms & 1 twin with comfortable beds and pillows, duvets, blankets, built in wardrobes and wonderful views of the sea. The villa has 4 bathrooms, two are en-suite, one family bathroom and an additional w/c room. The villa has a sociable open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room area with amazing views of the sea. The kitchen is well equipped with dishwasher, fridge/freezer (incl. ice-maker), hob and electric fan oven. On the veranda is a large eight seater table and a large BBQ. The Cinema / Games Room provides either a haven to escape from the sun, entertainment on rainy days or a venue for after-dinner contests.
On the pool veranda you are surrounded by tropical plants while the kestrels, buzzards and falcons that gave the villa its name circle and hunt. At night the starry skies are amazing. The villa has internet access / WiFi.
Within 20-30 minutes drive you can be at a sandy beach or hiking along a levada in the rainforests, taking a whale and dolphin viewing trip at sea or game fishing. While there are great restaurants a short drive away, we think the best view is from our dining tables and the huge, well equipped BBQ is great for cooking local fish or skewered steak (the local speciality of espetada).

Lovely House in Madeira

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.

Absolute Ungestörtheit in Mitten der Natur

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 gemütlich eingerichtet und absolut sauber. Bei Bedarf stehen Reinigungsmittel, Besen und Staubsauger zur Verfügung. Die Kommunikation mit dem Eigentümer war exzellent und lösungsorientiert. Es wurde sofort und unkompliziert reagiert, als wir Probleme mit dem Pool hatten. Danke noch einmal. Direkt vor der Haustür startet ein toller Wanderweg hinab in die Schlucht, der mit den Kindern viel Spaß gemacht hat. Es ist alles da, von Handseife, Spüli, Tabs und Waschmittel. In der Küche finden sich auch ein paar Gewürze. Unbedingte Empfehlung- wir wollen wieder kommen!

Fantastic stay

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.

Great family stay

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.

Perfekt for flere generationer

Rigtig dejlig ferie. Smukke omgivelser, pragtfuld udsigt, perfekt hus til flere familier sammen, herlig pool. Et dejligt område, der ikke er for præget af turister. Lidt svært at finde frem til indkøbsmuligheder og restauranter, men de er faktisk i området. Kommunikation med agenturet var fraværende. Kommunikationen foregik direkte med ejeren, der til gengæld sendte en meget udførlig velkomstpakke, Minusser:- - opvaskemaskinen kunne være bedre. - der er rotter i området. En enkelt nat kom der en ind i huset, fordi en dør stod åben. - vandet smager ikke godt, selv om det kan drikkes.

About the host

Hosted by Virginia Martin

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.

Why they chose this property

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.

What makes this property unique

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.
