Panoramic Sea and Mountain Views: 2 master bedrooms both with ensuite bathrooms

This beautiful modern well appointed villa is surrounded by fantastic panoramic views of the Atlantic ocean. Spectacular mountain views including the famous plateau complete the majestic scenery. The location is ideal for walkers, nature lovers and those that crave a little peace and quiet among a rural setting.
Breathtaking ocean views from the bedroom balconies add - a top of the world feeling. Two large bedrooms: one twin, one double each with a large private bathroom and patio doors open onto a large balcony with easy to use awing and beautiful views to the sea and a well maintained lawn and garden below.
Downstairs a fully equipped kitchen with all mod cons including the little things offers patio doors opening onto a spacious terrace complete with stone BBQ. The large living area opens onto the same terrace through airy patio doors. A down stairs WC and a small laundry complete the lower floor. Steps lead from the terrace area down to the garden, at the end of the garden is a beautiful spot: a tiled viewing area under the canopy of an avocado tree offers more sea views; delightful for breakfast.

Villa Murphy is surrounded by the wonderful natural nature that Madeira has to offer. The west of the Isle is the sunniest spot and boasts numerous swimming locations. The famous lava rock pools of Porto Moniz are only a 25 min drive away.
The surrounding local restaurants offer a wonderful selection of typical Madeiran fare. A large fully stocked supermarket in Calheta only a 5 minute drive away has everything you need while the small local shop has a good selection too, with fresh bread delivered daily.
The local people are very friendly and you will realise the difference from rural Madeira compared to the city, although only a 35 min drive away.
Villa Murphy offers you a relaxing comfortable getaway with the luxury of lots of space and surrounding Madeiran nature. While seeming miles from the hustle and bustle of the city you are only minutes from everything you will need. The perfect place to holiday.

A small on site bar/restaurant/supermarket offers friendly facilities, typical local dishes and packed lunches for walkers. Lidio the owner speaks english and is very helpful.

We can facilitate any late arrivals with a shopping basket to get you settled, including breakfast items for the following morning.

The area is a haven for writers, painters and keen photographers surrounded by rural nature; the real Madeira.

Families will enjoy the space and comfort the villa has to offer and indeed the pretty garden. Being closely located to walks, the beach and other fun attractions is a great benefit.

Couples will enjoy the peace and quiet: beautiful views, good restaurants and romantic walks.

Explores and walkers will be delighted with this wonderful location.

Villa Murphy has it all: lots of open space and terraces complete with a pretty garden. A tranquil, beautiful location only minutes from all modern amenities and tourist attractions. The choice is yours: do has much or as little as you want. The perfect choice for your perfect holiday. A great location to explore from. Villa Murphy is a well established comfortable holiday home and waiting for you :)

Lovely Villa
Spent 10 days in wonderful Madeira. The villa was ideal, good situation and easy access to the levadas. The shop/bar/restaurant opposite the villa was perfect for daily bread and the owner did take away meals, which were very welcome after a long day walking the levadas. Owners very helpful and always available if we needed them.

Everything just fine and nice 👍👍👍👍👍 Only one tiny detail: Some equipment for the barbecue made by steel/iron (heat resistant and stable) would be nice: - to move the glowing/hot coal during bbq - to move/turn the meat on the grill

Very nice holiday residence
We found the description of the residence to be very accurate. It's a nice house with plenty of room for 4 people (although we were just the two of us). The house was clean and everything needed was there. Also, the garden and balconies make for a nice view. It is located a bit further from the more crowded places, which is exactly why we chose this location. We do recommend getting a (rental) car, since you'll probably need to do a lot of travelling if you want to see more of the island.

Calm and caring owner
Our checking at a late hour was completely managed by Sarah which was a very pleasant start for our stay. The house is located in a calm neighborhood and is fully equipped. We lack of nothing from outdoor furnitures to spices to cook. Sarah is very thoughtful regarding her guests as she is always reachable by phone for quick tips about where to eat or where to hike. It was a pleasure to stay there, explore the area and meeting her and her husband Ciaran.

Lovely comfortable home with great views
Villa Murphy was a great choice for us. We loved the neighborhood and although it was not a walk-friendly location (no sidewalks, narrow roads) we did a lot of exploring around. There are a few nice restaurants to walk to if you don't mind climbing back up the hills. There isn't much to do in the immediate area but the town was charming and the people were very friendly. We had a rough start to our trip with a long flight delay (strong winds at Madeira airport cancelled many flights) but Sarah was very helpful in making sure we got there even though it was very late at night. We highly recommend Villa Murphy.

Loved it - sun, scenery and an amazing home
We absolutely loved our stay here. Every morning we went out onto the balcony and looked out over the ocean and, in the evening, watched the sun set. The kitchen is well-stocked with pots, pans and dishes, and there is a large fridge. The bed was very comfortable - not too hard or too soft - and we slept well every night. Not only did we eat on the balcony, but also used the patio at the bottom of the garden - again with beautiful views over the water. More than anything else, we couldn't get over how quiet the house and area are. Periodically, a rooster would crow, but there was no traffic noise or rowdy neighbours; it was just plain quiet. There is a friendly, local cafe across the street where food and drinks are very inexpensive (scabbard fish on a bun - 5 Euros; a small Coral beer - 1.20 Euros; freshly squeezed orange juice - 2.40 Euros, to give you an idea). We loved it so much, my wife and I are seriously thinking of coming back to Madeira and spending a couple of weeks (or more) just to enjoy the sun and scenery - and we would definitely come back to this rental property.

Nettes Haus mit kleinen Abstrichen
Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet, die Schlafzimmer sind schön, hell und geräumig. Der Garten und die Balkone sind hübsch gestaltet und vom oberen Balkon hat man einen sehr schönen Meerblick. Allerdings liegt das Haus ziemlich feucht und die Nachbarhäuser stehen dicht dran, was man auf den Bildern nicht sehen kann. Die Stufen, die zum Haus hinunterführen, sind etwas vermüllt. Da es sich hier wohl um einen öffentlichen Weg handelt, ist offenbar niemand zuständig.

Ein sehr schöner Urlaub
Der Ort Estreito de Calheta hat uns sehr gut als Ausgangspunkt für verschiedene Ausflüge gefallen. Das Ferienhaus entspricht der Beschreibung, ist sehr gut ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Highlights sind u.a. die drei Terrassen und Balkone mit dem Wahnsinnsblick aufs Meer. Den Kritikpunkt eines anderen Schreibers, der bei Ilidios Restaurant gegenüber Lärmbelästigung oder nervenden Publikumsverkehr bemängelte, können wir absolut nicht bestätigen. Wir haben so gut wie nichts gehört. Das zeitweise Plätschern der beiden kleinen Minilevadas empfanden wir dagegen als angenehm. Sarah und Ciaran haben schon vor unserem Aufenthalt alles getan, damit unser Urlaubserlebnis unvergesslich bleibt. Diese beiden muss man einfach gerne haben.

A really positive experience. Highly recommendable
Villa Murphy was a perfect base for our vacation at Madeira and we can absolutely recommend this place. The well equipped house has excellent outdoor spaces with balconies at both floors , a nice private garden area with flowers and trees, outdoor barbeque facilities, and excellent ocean view. It is located in a small, very quite community where you literally live next door to the local people, their cows and chickens as well as the calming sound from the local church bells. Just opposite the house there is a small supermarket including a restaurant/café where you can enjoy your coffee alongside the local people who stop here for a daily chat and grocery shopping. The “house wine” here is really good – and very cheap. Only one kilometer downhill from the house there is an other bigger and very good supermarket as well as a great supermarket in Calheta. Try their very tasty and fresch fish and chicken in Calheta. The house seems newly renovated and has everything you need for a holiday abroad. It was extremely clean and we felt very welcomed by the hosts who was helpful with driving instructions from the airport as well as ideas for hikes . In the house you find some walking sticks for two people to be borrowed for free. Be aware that the houses at Madeira are not centrally heated so bring warm indoor clothes if you travel during more humid/cooler seasons like we did. In the house there are some mobile electric radiators which helped keeping the rooms warm. We really enjoyed staying at this house and the very nice and calm surroundings.

Just What We Had Hoped For
We were two retired couples who stayed at Villa Murphy for 10 days in mid -February. The villa itself suited us prfectly with the two en suite bedrooms set apart and very private. Perhaps we were a little too early in the season to really enjoy the wonderful balconies especially for meals and the villa itself was difficult to keep warm. Nevertheless we were on the sunny side of Madeira so had many beautiful sunny days and lovely sunsets over the ocean.

très agréable villa - séjour formidable !
La villa correspond parfaitement à la description sur le site. La vue sur la mer est GRANDIOSE (bien mieux que ce que l'on voit sur les photos). Villa très propre, jardin très bien entretenu, environnement très calme. Les propriétaires nous ont renseigné dès que nécessaire. Ils se sont montrés vraiment disponibles et à l'écoute. La supérette et le restaurant à proximité de la maison sont très appréciables (propriétaire très sympa, pain frais tous les jours sans avoir besoin de prendre la voiture, seulement quelques mètres à pied et en plus ils restent ouverts très tard le soir). La situation de la villa fait qu'on est très proche de la grande plage de sable de Calheta .On peut également partir en excursions de tous les côtés de l'île car très bien desservi. Nous recommandons chaudement de louer cette villa. Le rapport qualité-prix est vraiment très bon (paroles de globe-trotters). Nous reviendrons ! Thank you again to Sarah and Ciaran. Our stay was wonderfull at Villa Murphy.

Nice house, nice view
We had a very nice week in the Villa Murphy. Good size living room and bedrooms, and nice veranda with a good view of the sea. All very clean and well kept, and everything worked perfectly. No dishwasher but we didn't mind that. There is a little store opposite which we found very useful for basic stuff, including nice bread, whose owner (Llido) will also provide meals in the adjacent small bar/restaurant if you give him advance notice. Only two things offered (steak or fish), but the fish is highly recommended.

Perfect holiday - perfect villa
This villa was just as described. Sarah was helpful and always available if we needed her. The village location was perfect for us and gave us easy access to the levadas. We are two couples in our 60's who enjoy walking and being away from the tourist areas. The village was beautiful - flowers amazing - locals friendly - the bar/ shop just over the road was perfect for fresh bread and daily shopping. We really enjoyed our week here and would recommend this to anyone who like to be away from the main tourism areas and in a friendly village atmosphere.

A fantastic family villa
We have just spent a fantastic week at Villa Murphy with our two young children. I don't often write reviews but Sarah and Ciaran really deserve all the credit they can get for this lovely home. The villa is in a quiet village, with a beautiful garden and views across the ocean. We arrived late at night and Sarah was very helpful at guiding us in (we took a wrong turn) and it was such a joy to open the door and walk into this lovely villa after a long journey. We knew from the start it would be the perfect holiday. It had everything we needed and we felt very at home here, having some lovey nights on the patio, cooking on the bbq, eating, drinking, and just relaxing in absolute peace and quiet on most nights. The little shop across the road has the basics and the owner is very helpful. We were 5 mins drive from Calheta beach which is great for the kids with crystal clear, calm water and sandy beach, not too big or crowded and safe enough to let them run off and splash in the water. We also visited the caves at Sao Vincente (quite interesting) and then carried onto Porto Moniz, before driving up and over the top for some stunning views of misty valleys and beautiful flowers. The water park just past Funchal airport is good for a day out with the kids, top score for our 9 year old, but the beach was the main attraction for our youngest. For me it was just the peace and quiet and a glass of wine on the patio, looking out at the calm ocean in the distance. I would recommend this villa without any hesitation and hope that we can return again for another wonderful holiday.

Location très agréable
Nous avons passé un séjour de 2 semaines très agréable (été 2013). La maison se situe dans un quartier résidentiel très calme. Elle est bien équipée et bien entretenue (très propre), on se sent vite "comme à la maison". Les photos mises à disposition sur le site Abritel décrivent très bien les lieux. Les propriétaires sont très sympathiques et sont disponibles pour répondre aux questions. C'est sans problème que nous recommandons cette location. La vue depuis les terrasses/balcons vous laissera de très beaux souvenirs. Famille de 5 personnes (France/Rennes).

Back to a little corner of Paradise
My husband and I returned in June (2013) to this beautiful villa. We last stayed there in April 2010 (see review Bo and David). We were determined to return as we fell in love with the villa and the area. We were delighted to find a new large bed in one of the bedrooms. Not that we are 'large people' but it is a bonus when the nights are so warm to have that extra space. There is really very little to say as we found everything as enchanting as 2 years ago. Still spotless, a lot of nice 'little decorative touches' added here and there and the young owners as charming and helpful as ever.The garden is looking fantastic as the weather in June was not as scorchingly sunny as usual (cloudier but warm) which seemed to suit the plants and shrubs. We were delighted to find the content of the library had greatly increased as we both love to read and taking books really does add onto luggage weight. As well as the internet it was good to find we were able to Skype the family back in the UK (nice to know the kids -44!! and 39!! care). Unfortunately we were only able to stay one week as the weeks either side were booked but the owners had an apartment at Madalena do Mar, only a short drive away. So, with full confidence of our experience with the villa and the owners, we had a week there in a lovely little village. We had a wonderful time there also. This sunny area of Madeira is such a change from the busy area of Funchal (which we still love also) and we love the peace and quiet.
