    During my recent stay at a beautiful villa near Sao Rafael beach, I was impressed by the spaciousness and overall comfort of the accommodation. The villa provided ample space for my family and all the necessary amenities. The location was perfect, just a short walk away from the stunning beaches. The reception staff were friendly and accommodating, making us feel welcomed throughout our stay. Despite a few minor drawbacks, such as limited lighting in the bedrooms and the need to take a taxi to nearby bars and restaurants, I found my experience at Sao Rafael Holidays to be enjoyable and would recommend it to others.

    We had a fantastic time at the apartments. the location was perfect, just a short walk to the beautiful Sao Rafael beach. the view from our balcony was stunning, especially during breakfast. the room was comfortable and well equipped, with a fully stocked kitchen. the staff was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. We even received a surprise birthday cake and prosecco! the parking facilities were convenient, making it easy to explore the area.

    It would have been nice to have some basic kitchen essentials provided, such as salt, pepper, and tea bags/coffee. the WiFi was unreliable in certain areas of the apartment.

    Stayed at a beautiful villa with a massive garden all to ourselves. the room sizes were great and we loved the heated pool. the villa had nearly everything we needed, including a jacuzzi in the room. the staff at the reception were accommodating and gave us excellent restaurant recommendations. The location was also beautiful and we enjoyed using the facilities of a nearby 5-star hotel. Cons: Nothing, all was good! 👌.

    The beach near the hotel was stunning and easily accessible. the hotel staff were friendly and provided excellent service. the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the daily cleaning service was a bonus. the beds were comfortable and ensured a good night's sleep.

    The noise from neighboring rooms was quite loud and made it difficult to relax. the lack of balcony or outside space on the lower level of the hotel was disappointing, especially for enjoying meals or drinks.

    The highlight of my stay at Sao Rafael Holidays Villa was the breathtaking view from the balcony. Waking up every morning to the sight of the ocean was simply mesmerizing. The villa itself was spacious and clean, with comfortable beds and excellent daily cleaning service. The proximity to two outstandingly beautiful beaches was a major plus, and the fact that pool towels were provided was a nice added touch. Additionally, being able to use the facilities of the luxury sister resort hotel was a great bonus. I had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this place to others.

    The villa was well equipped with spacious rooms and bathrooms, providing a comfortable stay. the staff were helpful and accommodating, allowing early check-in and providing pool towels. the location was close to two beautiful beaches, perfect for beach lovers. Guests had access to two pools, one in the villa and another in the reception area, ensuring plenty of options for relaxation.

    Limited storage facilities in the bedrooms.

    Our stay at Sao Rafael Holidays Villa was perfect. We stayed for a week and had a wonderful time. The villa was well equipped and the staff was extremely helpful. The taxi service provided by the hotel was very convenient. We discovered two amazing, uncrowded beaches just a short walk away. The terrace had a nice view and the villa itself was clean and hospitable. We also loved the afternoon tea at the Riviera in town. a great experience!

    Would recommend this hotel.

    I recently stayed at Sao Rafael Holidays for a week-long beach getaway. The location was fantastic, with Arrifes beach and Sao Rafael beach just a short walk away. The service staff were exceptional, ensuring our villa was cleaned and beds made daily. The wifi was reliable, and we could easily book taxis and excursions through reception. We also had access to three outside swimming pools at their sister hotel, which was a five-star experience. The 2-bedroom apartment was modern, spacious, and had lovely views. I was pleasantly surprised to find two toilets, making it perfect for our group of six.

    Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    We recently stayed at Sao Rafael Holidays Villa and had a pleasant experience. The villa was spacious, modern, and well-designed, making it very comfortable and welcoming.

    One of the drawbacks mentioned in the database was the pool area not meeting expectations. Unfortunately, we also found the pool area to be lacking.
