Villa Murilo

About this property

Located in São Gonçalo, overlooking Funchal, Villa Murilo provides everything guests need to relax in absolute tranquillity. With fantastic views of Funchal and the sparkling Madeira sea, Villa Murilo is a contemporary and stylishly designed holiday home, ideal for family holidays, groups of friends, and multiple couples. Villa Murilo is the picture of modern design. Sleeping up to eight guests, this four-bedroom villa is the perfect home away from home for those looking to switch off and spend some time with loved ones.

Villa Murilo is spacious, luxurious and impeccably furnished. With an abundance of floor-to-ceiling windows providing panoramic ocean views, guests won’t be able to take their eyes away. Each bedroom has been stylishly decorated, and all offer specular views of the sea. There are three double bedrooms and one twin room. The villa has three bathrooms and one guest toilet in total; the bathrooms are modern, well-equipped and finished to the highest standard. The entire house is filled with natural light all day, providing the perfect spot to watch the sun rise and set.

The gorgeous modern kitchen features plenty of prep space and state-of-the-art appliances; whether you are an experienced chef or a novice beginner, this kitchen will suit everyone. There is also a spacious living room with a flat screen television, as well as an open plan dining area that leads directly to the infinity pool area. This house truly looks like it could be out of a ‘James Bond’ movie.

The spectacular infinity pool provides the perfect setting for a fun-filled day, where both kids and adults can have fun, followed by a lovely al fresco meal under the clear blue or starry skies. The beautifully landscaped gardens encourage a zen-like feel and provide guests with a serene and peaceful sanctuary where they can relax. Guests can sit out in the gorgeous outdoor area after a delicious meal and enjoy a glass or two of wine whilst watching the sun set on another day in luxury.

The centre of Funchal, Madeira’s capital city, is just a five-minute drive away. This port city is full of cosmopolitan charm and centuries of history, with everything being within really easy walking distance. The old town area is where you can stroll through narrow, cobbled streets and take in the beauty of all the historic buildings found among them. Many of them date back to the 15th century and there are plenty of picturesque churches to spot. Ride the cable car up to Monte, close to where the villa is, for some truly breathtaking views of the botanical garden and across the sea.

Also, less than a 10-minute journey by car is the coastal town of Caniço. The most famous attraction here is the Christ the King statue that sits on a viewpoint by the Garajau Marine Reserve. The views from here across the sea are beautiful and are even more impressive if you continue walking to the tip of the peninsula. Make sure you visit the lovely pebbled beach down below too. There are plenty of great overall walking opportunities here, whether it’s along the tops of cliffs or through the lush hills. Mountain biking, snorkelling and diving are also very popular activities in Caniço.

There is a wide range of activities on offer on the Island, but one of the most breathtaking has to be a glorious hike along some of the 2,092 kilometres of narrow stone irrigation channels known as levadas, crisscrossing Madeira's lush mountainous countryside into the Laurisilva forest. One of the most scenics is the Levada do Caldeirao Verde, which meanders four miles past leafy glades and plunging ocean views before emerging into a picturesque clearing sprinkled by a 91-meter waterfall. Just spectacular! And for the adrenaline junkies amongst you, try your hand at the many mountain-bike trails that plunge and ascend this beautiful landscape, or throw yourself into some canyoning, which will have you sliding over cascades and abseiling down waterfalls.
