    The name of the house completely reflects the house itself. The location of the house is stunning. It is a real peaceful place to get to after the day of activities and fun.

    The garden with all its plants and the sea-view and the mountains around were wonderful. There was no other houses in front of your terasse, so we could really relax and enjoy the nature around. We had a Levada just in front of our doors so that...

Hidden in a lush, green valley in the quiet West of Madeira lies the typical Madeiran farmer's house ‘Raposeira de São João’. Stunningly restored and comfortable, it is the perfect holiday home. With spectacular views over the ocean, the woods and the hills of Fajã da Ovelha, a village in the municipality of Calheta, this idyllic place is set in the sunniest, most rural part of the island. The World Heritage Nature Park of Madeira really does begin on our doorstep. The house is a real home. Furnished and equipped for permanent occupation. So no cheap and low quality interior, but our own high quality furniture, of high end contemporary design, combined with some family antiques and – mostly contemporary – art. We had to bring everything from the Netherlands, as the Madeiran average taste is a far cry from what we think a home should look like.
Raposeira de São João is situated in the quiet West of Madeira, in the sunny coucil of Calheta. It is situated in a hamlet that has the beautiful name of ‘Soalheira de Baixo’ meaning ‘lower sunny place’ .It is a good base for all kinds of activities that can make your stay in Madeira so attractive. Where the more easterly villages of the Council of Calheta and the lower area’s are gradually becoming more urban, Fajã da Ovelha, the village our house belongs to, is designated as a rural area, where building is very restricted. Especially valleys like ours, officially called ‘area rural’, have a ban on new construction work. Only existing – often abandoned- houses can be renovated. Also, the limit of the ‘Parque Natural da Madeira’, Madeira’s Natural Park, lies at the bottom of our valley, about 150 meters from our house. This guarantees a free view of the wooded valley and the Atlantic Ocean. West Madeira at is very best! In the small streams, that abound in the area, wild watercress grows, proof of the excellent quality of the surface waters. The beard mosses that grow in many trees are an indication of the complete absence of air pollution in Madeira.
