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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ein idyllischer Ort zum Entspannen
Die Vermieterin hat sich super um alle Anliegen gekümmert, sogar Anfahrtsvideos geschickt! Das Haus ist perfekt, um sich nach den anstrengenden Wanderungen zu erholen. Ausgestattet mit allem, was man braucht, super ruhige Lage. Quasi ein Tesla Supercharger für die Seele. Absolut empfehlenswert👍

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.

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.

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.
