We would like to thank you for the use of your villa for the last nine days. We had a great holiday. The weather was absolutely superb up until the final morning. We left for the airport at 7.30 a.m. and it was completely clouded over, damp and cold! It was really interesting to see the way the crops are grown in the terraces under Casa Faraway and around the whole island. We run an allotment in our village and rely on our own water supply so it was a real education to see what happens on the island.
Unfortunately due to the collapse of monarch airlines we were unable to make our stay at this villa.
However Mr & Mrs MelHuish were incredibly understanding and helpful.
If I get the chance to visit madeira again there's no where else I'd rather stay.
Many thanks
Beautiful spot lovely people we shall definitely come again
Upon arrival we was amazed on how beautiful the island was and on banana city, lots of things to do for adults and kids, the locals that did speak English were very helpful and gave up a fascinating insight to the island, outstanding views from the mountains, we will be returning
Just returned from a wonderful week at casa Faraway.
Comfortably sized villa for 6 (we were 3 adults and 2 children aged 4 and 8).
The playroom is very well stocked with toys (the air hockey was a particular hit) which was great for the children. Also a well stocked DVD and book library. Not that we were inside much as we had fabulous weather.
The views are absolutely stunning and it is a great base for days out.
We had a problem on arrival - no water in some rooms - but this was fixed (the pump wasn't working) very quickly.
The pool is very shallow (I did know this in advance from a previous review) but hadn't appreciated quite how shallow - great for a plunge but not for swimming.
Overall a great base for a great holiday. Thank you.
Very impressed with the villa and the pool. Rosalia was very welcoming and the local taxi drivers were fantastic. Local shops were limited but people were helpful and friendly. The supermarket in Ribeira Brava was very good, as were the cafes and restaurants. Quiet, peaceful location except for the 'farmyard dawn chorus' which was very entertaining! An enjoyable holiday and the view from the villa was to die for.
We had a wonderful stay at Casa Faraway. The décor wasn't to our taste and a little oppressive, but other than that, the villa had pretty much everything we could have wanted.
Positives: Amazingly beautiful views and peaceful location, well equipped (and very clean) villa with plenty of space
Negatives: Pool is very shallow - not really for swimming (this wasn't a problem for us, but might be for others); there is no air conditioning which would have been a plus although there is always a breeze.
We didn't hire a car and managed very well with the help of the wonderful Horgio - his contact details are in the information book - who turned up as and when required.
Overall, a very good location.
Casa Faraway is located in a quiet rural environment, overlooking the Atlantic ocean (where the odd whale can be viewed). The villa is situated in the Southern middle region of the island (35 minutes Airport) which is a perfect location to explore the island by bus, foot, or car, be it the coast or some of the island highest mountains. Airport transfer is available and for your peace of mind you have representative support during your stay should you require help. Pricing includes heated pool (optional). The Villa is close to local shops cafes and bars. All amenities are available in Ribeira Brava which is 5 minutes away by car. It is close to one of the islands longest Levadas. (Levada da Nord). The island has many activities and attractions to offer.(listed in the villa info pack), from horse riding to 4x4s (4x4 routes maps available from us). There are many museums, historic houses/churches, gardens, 8 cable cars (including the worlds steepest), beaches, sea pools, diving, walking, worlds highest cliffs, sports facilities, canyoning (world site), golf (3 courses), shopping, fantastic scenery, waterfalls, etc. We can suggest many things to do and see that are not in the tourist books.
