From the moment I checked in to check out it was a brilliant stay .. The room wasnt ready when I arrived but I was early and within the house reception phoned and let me know it was ready , stayed in the ocean villa and it was perfect. The day of my check out I was flying 10pm so I asked for a late check out and they were able to give me to 2pm which was great and at no extra cost. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend

We enjoyed our stay at the São Rafael accommodation in Albufeira. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The location near São Rafael Beach was very convenient, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, a nice place for a relaxing break.

Spacious villa with AC and private pool. Reserved parking lot in the garage. Bedroom and bathroom a bit unpractical, as almost no furniture and no opportunity to hang towels. Big living room, well equipped kitchen. Beautiful beach just 15 min walk.

We stayed in the villas with a private pool and it was absolutely phenomenal. The suite itself is absolutely beautiful, clean and well-maintained and so much space for at least six people, and it was just me and my friend. We are definitely planning our stay back here as the staff was also extremely helpful and kind.

We had the most amazing ocean view and private pool. Everything was perfect, the staff are excellent, friendly and efficient. Our villa was so nice and comfortable we extended our stay for 3 more days and would have stayed longer if we could. The location is fantastic, very close to the beach, the sea view balcony was such a nice place to sit and relax with a perfect uninterrupted view of the sea. 5 or 6 mins in taxi to the Old town with great night life. Just down the road there are a couple of really nice restaurants and good sports bar. I highly recommend this place if you want to be close to sea,, night life and come home to a quieter more relaxed hotel/villa. I am looking forward to coming back here next year.

The area is super nice! Walking distance to two beautiful beaches, both with beachside restaurants, paddleboard rentals, etc… The hotel is intimate, almost closer to a BNB than a hotel. This is not a luxury hotel, but I felt like we found a gem of a place to stay with great service, continental breakfast, private pool
