Loved it - sun, scenery and an amazing home
Posted Nov. 14, 2023 on HomeAwayWe 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.

Lovely comfortable home with great views
Posted Apr. 17, 2023 on HomeAwayVilla 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.

Lovely Villa
Posted Jan. 26, 2019 on HomeAwaySpent 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.

Just What We Had Hoped For
Posted Mar. 7, 2018 on HomeAwayWe 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.

Dear Fran, Ross, Roy and Maureen thank you for your review. We enjoyed meeting and chatting with you all. You did well to stay upbeat considering your delay of three days to the Island, Roy taking ill on the plane and Maureen getting ill soon on arrival. The weather for sure was not good (worst winter for us in years, and all of Europe) but we are glad that you enjoyed the warmer west side and the space in the house and that we met your expectations. We hope the next time you come all will run smoother for you with your travels. Till then we wish you well and thank you for staying with us..

juste parfait !
Posted May 1, 2024 on HomeAwayMagnifique vue sur l'océan ! Le gîte est très confortable, idéalement situé, et très bien équipé, il ne manquait rien pour rendre notre séjour agréable. Sarah et Ciaran sont tous les deux des hôtes attentionnés et très sympathiques, et ils nous ont donné plein de bons conseils et de bonnes adresses. Nous sommes impatients d'y retourner dès que possible !

Calm and caring owner
Posted Jun. 5, 2023 on HomeAwayOur 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.
