THIS BEAUTIFUL VILLA commands an enviable location with stunning views over the Ocean. Exuding charm with space to relax and breathe. Traditional features, contemporary facilities and a large garden, combine to offer luxury spacious accommodation in the serenity of this peaceful village.

THE PRIVATE HEATED POOL is the prime feature of the Villa, measuring 6 metres by 3 metres, with depth from 1.2 metres to 1.5 metres. Heated all year and included in the Tariff. 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.

THE TOP FLOOR has the Kitchen Diner and Sun Lounge, in an Open Plan arrangement. With a sun drenched Balcony the full length of the Villa.
THE KITCHEN DINER is fully fitted with all appliances including an Espresso machine and a generous variety of kitchen utensils.
The Breakfast Bar seats 6 people and a Flexible Table is provided to facilitate Guest preference.
The SUN LOUNGE has space to relax with Ocean views. The facilities include 2 Sofas, a 50" TV and DVD player. Internet speed of Mpbs 1000/400.

THE FIRST FLOOR offers the MASTER BEDROOM with queen size bed (160cm) and a spacious ensuite shower room with Power shower & opening window. Balcony with Ocean view and AC.
Opposite a SECOND large double bedroom, also with Balcony and AC has it's own private Terrace.
In between is the Family Bathroom with a spacious Power shower and opening window.
THE GROUND FLOOR offers two more Bedrooms.
Bedroom 3 has a King size bed, and Bedroom 4 has robustly constructed Bunk Beds.
There is an additional shower room, with a separate toilet on this floor.
Please note these are accessed by going through Bedroom 4.
So this floor is suitable for a second family or children.
ALL BEDS are Custom made to our personal design by local Craftsmen, and fitted with quality mattresses to guarantee a good night's sleep.
Hotel grade linen and Towels are also provided, Bedroom 1 & 2 have large fitted wardrobes so that you may enjoy your holiday clutter free. Bedroom 3 & 4 have open plan arrangements. The USB ports next to each bed allow convenience for everybody's gadgets.

THE POOL TERRACE and GARDENS will be a delight for our Guests, and offer substantial additional facilities. Sunbeds allow our Guests to enjoy year round sunshine and to relax underneath Mature Californian Palms and other tropical trees. Average daytime temperatures from 20c to 35c.
THE BBQ TERRACE has a large Granite table to seat 8 people for Al fresco dining underneath a Pergola. This delightful Terrace commands a wide panorama overlooking the Ocean.

GARDENS surround the Pool Terrace with staircases between different levels. PARKING is provided at the side of the Villa, for one car behind a Security gate. Additional spaces are available in the quiet road outside the Villa. The whole property is surrounded by garden walls and gates offering peace of mind, that children cannot wander accidentally into the road.

CALHETA is the prime Tourist area of Madeira and is on the less developed, popular, Western side of the island. It consists of a group of villages. Located on the quieter side, Faja da Ovelha offers a peaceful location. The Via Rapide is the modern wide road, connecting most parts of the Island. It is accessed only 5 minutes away and provides a quick and safe route to Calheta Marina or other parts of the Island.
eg 5 minutes by car to the nearest quality Restaurants at Ponta do Pargo
OR 12/15 minutes to Calheta Marina, with Beach Restaurants and 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 or adventure pursuits. To mountain peaks of 6200 feet with breath taking views over the Ocean. Or Funchal with Historic buildings & Gardens. Or just a simply relaxing holiday with sunshine all year round. Whatever your type of holiday, the Villa has been fitted with the maximum Guest comfort in mind.
Madeira is a friendly place and foreign visitors are welcome.

NOTE
1. A car is essential anywhere outside of Funchal.
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.
3. Parties & Music around the Pool, are NOT welcome.
4. The Villa can sleep 8 people but the Kitchen Diner comfortably seats 6 people. Therefore we do not charge for Guest 7 & 8.

A wonderful property in a lovely location.

Hi Marie Thank you for your review. I am pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Once Funchal is left behind, everywhere in Madeira feels very rural. The Island government has been very proactive with establishing the new roads and tunnels to connect all the Towns. Our recently extended section of the Via Rapide now offers a straight route into Calheta in 12 minutes, or use the traditional road down to the beach at Paul de Serra in 6 minutes. So it allows us to offer a peace and quiet location, but with easy access to larger facilities when required. We would be delighted to see you again in the future. regards Bill

Lovely Villa with Stunning Views

We had a lovely week at the villa. Prior to arrival Bill's communication was excellent in terms of advice and information. A minor issue we had was resolved immediately during our stay. The villa is just as it looks in the photos and description. I would re-emphaisise that you need a car to go anywhere (which did not bother us but may not suit everyone). Calheta is 15 minutes or so away with lots of restaurants, beach and a marina (we went on a boat trip and saw lots of Dolphins). We also went to another couple of excellent restaurants in the other direction from the property. Many thanks Bill, we had a great time.

Hi Amanda thank you for your review. I am pleased that you enjoyed your stay. The topography of Madeira is very steep, which is of course what creates the stunning reviews. A Car is essential wherever one stays in Madeira. I am pleased you got chance to explore some of the Restaurants towards Ponta do Pargo. They cater for the locals as well, so have to produce a good show with their local recipes. We would be delighted to see you again in the future regards Bill

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.

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.

Hi David thank you for your review, I am pleased that you enjoyed your stay. The Pool and the views continue to be a delight for all our Guests. Since the pandemic, the provision of condiments etc etc has been a sensitive subject. We receive new Guests, each week and every week. The Madeira trading standards advise against hosts supplying already opened items that might then be used by a different party. It is a topic that we continue to review. We do however include items such as the Pool heating inclusive in the Tariff, whilst many owners charge extra, in order to remain highly cost competitive. Sorry about the BBQ tongs. We do of course supply these, and keep a reserve stock of such perishable items in our Garage on site. The previous Guests may have misplaced them, but the Housekeepers would have been happy to whizz over and replace them if notified. But thank you for the heads up. We would be delighted to see you again at any of our Villas in the future. Thank you for your custom. regards Bill

Pittoresque small house with everything you need

We had a great stay at Blue Sea Cottage. The location with views to the ocean are outstanding. The place - garden and house - in a "Portuguese Style" is very pittoresque. The rooms on two floors offer enough space for 4 adults. The interior design is tasteful and functional. Everything you need for your vacation is there. It should be noted that January is a time of high humidity. It was difficult to dry the rooms sufficiently, especially after showering. Bill was able to help us quickly via the property management. An additional dehumidifier was installed. Communication was straightforward and help was provided quickly. More detailed instructions on how to better ventilate the rooms on the first day would be helpful for guests at this time of year. The surroundings are very rural and quiet. From here you can easily explore the (south) western part of Madeira up to the north side to Porto Moniz by car and the western highlands with some natural highlights can also be reached quickly. The nearby Cafeteria Panoeste (within walking distance with a steep climb), which also serves fresh bread and sweet pastries, is highly recommended. To Funchal is a more or less 1 hour drive.

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

On occasion, there are hiccups between departing Guests and new arrivals. The departees caused two items of damage. The HK informed me of the damage to the Pool vinyl liner (currently “in vogue” with 98% of Madeiran Villas). The repair was done early the next day and ready for use within 4 hours. You were kept closely updated but chose to ignore my advice. The Pool was not “topped back up” for you because our Maintenance Supervisor was too frightened by your hostile attitude to return. Washing machine issue was reported to me at 2:30pm Saturday, in a similar hostile manner. HK and maintenance man attended Sunday 10am with a brand-new machine, but were able to affect a quick repair. Your repeated demand for early check in disrupted the usual HK routine. Otherwise these items would have been identified and dealt with before your arrival. Multiple photographs and description of the property are meticulous and 100% accurate. We appreciate all feedback and use it to constantly evolve and improve. This will include retro-fitting traditional Pool tiles this winter. But comments based upon conjecture are unhelpful and contrary to the usual 5* rating of the Property. We have welcomed international guests to our properties for 20 years and are familiar with different cultural expectations. But hostility communicates itself in an international language. We will analyse your comments in further detail, but would concur that this was not a mutually beneficial experience. regards Bill

Blue Sea Cottage mit herrlichem Meerblick

Der Aufenthalt im BlueSeaCottage war insgesamt sehr schön und erholsam. Das Haus sehr sauber und gepflegt und die Aussagen des Vermieters waren alle zutreffend.Leider sind kleinere Störungen nicht immer zu vermeiden, wie z.B. Bauarbeiten in der Nachbarschaft oder wilde Katzen aus der Umgebung, die dafür sorgen, dass man die Türen geschlossen halten muss.Insgesamt aber ein sehr guter Aufenthalt mit einem aufmerksamen Vermieter, der umgehend gehandelt hat.

Hallo Kai, vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung. Ich freue mich, dass Sie Ihren Aufenthalt genossen haben. In unserer Gegend gibt es keine wilden Autos, aber einige sehr schlaue und dicke Haustiere, die gelernt haben, Besucher um Futter zu bitten, indem sie alle Villen im Dorf patrouillieren. Wir weisen unsere Gäste darauf hin, sie nicht zu füttern. Wenn Gäste diese Hinweise ignorieren, verschwinden sie. Madeira wurde zum neunten Mal in Folge als bestes europäisches Inselziel ausgezeichnet. Infolgedessen herrscht auf Madeira ein Bauboom. Einer unserer Nachbarn weiter unten am Hang hat ein neues Haus gebaut. Der Bau begann im Oktober 2024 und ist nun abgeschlossen. Lediglich die Innen- und Dekorationsarbeiten sind noch im Gange. In dieser Zeit hatten wir 71 Gästebuchungen in unseren beiden am nächsten gelegenen Unterkünften und haben keine Beschwerden erhalten. Glücklicherweise liegt das Haus weit genug entfernt und tiefer gelegen, sodass der Lärm minimal ist. Aber wie immer kann es gelegentlich zu Hintergrundgeräuschen kommen, die einem das Gewissen belasten könnten. Ich danke Ihnen für Ihre Informationen. Wie immer werden wir alle auftretenden Probleme im Auge behalten. Wir würden uns freuen, Sie bald wiederzusehen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Bill

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.

Wir freuen uns über konstruktive Bewertungen, damit wir unsere Leistung analysieren können. Es wäre jedoch vorteilhafter, wenn diese Kommentare zu Beginn Ihres Aufenthalts abgegeben worden wären, damit die Haushälterinnen etwaige Probleme sofort hätten lösen können. Bei dieser Gelegenheit schien die Leistung des Teams unter seinem üblichen Standard zu liegen und wurde entsprechend gerügt. Damit die Spülmaschine ordnungsgemäß funktioniert, muss der Gast das bereitgestellte Salz nachfüllen. Die Ofenhandschuhe werden zusammen mit den Handtüchern in der Schublade aufbewahrt. Tee, Kaffee und Milch werden bei der Ankunft bereitgestellt und bereits in den richtigen Schränken verstaut. Die Villa wird als Selbstversorger-Villa beworben und wir geben in unseren Informationen an, dass wir keine Artikel wie Kohle, Shampoo usw. zur Verfügung stellen. Im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Eigentümern ist bei uns jedoch die teure Poolheizung im Tarif inbegriffen. Daher ist die Villa preislich immer äußerst wettbewerbsfähig. Obwohl Ihre Bewertung enttäuschend und die abgegebene Bewertung etwas hart ausfällt, haben wir das Housekeeping- und Wartungsteam bereits entsprechend angewiesen. Wir werden auch einige unserer Richtlinien im Hinblick auf zukünftige Upgrades überprüfen. Grüße Bill

Incroyable !

Un magnifique logement ! Une vraie bulle de bonheur pendant 1 semaine dans cette maison. Le jardin et la piscine sont incroyables. L'hôte est très facilement contactable. Nous avons passé des vacances de rêve en famille !

Jolie maison avec magnifique vue

Maison propre et moderne. Jardin paradisiaque, au calme. Piscine chauffée mais à rénover. Le liner et la couverture à bulles sont en mauvais état. Parking fermé par une porte automatique qui ne fonctionne pas toujours… on doit l’activer à la main… pas toujours facile. Vacances très réussies sur cette merveilleuse île.

Merci pour votre avis. Je suis heureux que vous ayez apprécié vos vacances. Malheureusement, un invité précédent a laissé négligemment la couverture de la piscine ouverte et sans surveillance, et un vent fort l'a gravement endommagée. Nous avons dépêché un remplaçant, qui devrait arriver d'ici le 16 mai. Au-delà de l’aspect visuel de la couverture, la Piscine reste un élément très attractif et apprécié. La zone de stationnement est protégée par un portail de sécurité électronique. Il ne devrait y avoir aucun problème à moins qu'un autre invité ne soit passé au mécanisme manuel. Notre gouvernante est de garde pour résoudre tout problème de ce type, mais je ne sais pas si lui ou moi en avons été informés. Sinon, le problème aurait été réglé le jour même. Merci pour votre coutume. cordialement Bill
