The House of Passion

The view is great and the geographical location of the house is perfect. It is warm, relaxing and very quiet. You will be connected all the time with nature and if you want to walk, it is fantastic in Fajã de Ovelha, where you will find some of the beautiful Levadas of Madeira just outside the house. Perfekt! Info: My little cat Lola lives in the house. Anyone with fears or allergies should NOT reserve the space. Thank you. ❤️
