The area
Sunsets at the western edge of the island
Villa Espigão is in Fajã da Ovelha, a parish of Calheta on Madeira’s west coast, bordering Ponta do Pargo at the island’s westernmost point. Its own viewpoints at Massapez, Precipício, Raposeira and Fio look out over the coast and down to the fishing village of Paul do Mar.
West-facing and high above the ocean, it is a place for long evenings: the sunsets from this corner of the island are famous.
