Ovelha do Sol by MHM Fajã da Ovelha - Cottage

The property exudes a rustic charm with ample compartmentalised layout with large BBQ area, ample kitchen and a welcome log burning for the cooler winter evenings. There is a spacious balcony and landscaped side garden with which to catch the sun and relax with the beautiful ocean view, whilst watching hawks and buzzards patrol the skies above. An excellent location and base with which to explore the western side of the island and escape the overt tourism of Funchal. The cliff scenery is stunning and there is an excellent levada walk at Ponto do Pargo just a few kilometres away. The nearest 'large' supermarket is the Continente at Ribeira Brava so it's worth stocking up on the way to the property. This can be topped up on a brilliant day out at Porto Minez, via R. Brava and Sao Vicente. The coast line from here to Porto Minez is breath taking with large Atlantic breakers crashing down. Just out of P. Minez at Lamaceiros there is another stunning levada walk (12km) taking you through two tunnels (torch required). A journey along the coast via Porto do Pargo shortens the route back. We would definitely consider booking this property again. As always, the staff at MHM are the exemplary definition of hospitality professionalism.
