We stayed at Sao Rafael Holidays in the guesthouse for 3 nights from the 2nd to the 5th of January. We’re getting married in Portugal in September and went to visit the hotel as the majority of our guests are staying here so we wanted to make sure it was up to scratch. We were a bit sceptical due to some reviews we had read that I can vouch are definitely not honest!! Firstly, the staff were lovely!! Couldn’t do enough for us. The guesthouse itself was very clean. The beds were very comfortable and we were offered housekeeping services during our short stay. The shower was amazing in our room. Due to it being off peak season, reception was closed when we arrived but we were made aware of this a couple of days in advance and we were sent on instructions for check in which made the process all really easy! Breakfast was lovely! A selection of fresh fruit, yoghurt, breads, pastries, jams, spreads and then freshly made scrambled eggs and bacon. Variety of coffees and hot drinks as well as freshly squeezed orange juice. Overall very enjoyable. Location was great, we didn’t explore Sao Rafael itself but we were in and out of Albufeira and also visited Lady of the Rock. All very accessible by taxis. We used Bolt to book taxis and it was very handy. 5 mins max from Old Town Albufeira and 7 mins from New Town Albufeira. We had a really great stay and we cannot wait to come back in September!

Rooms are spacious for this compact villa, and lounge/kitchen too. Pool small but more than enough to lay around and float in to cool down. Upstairs and downstairs bathroom/toilets clean and well equipped and great to have both. Kitchen adequate for simple meals with oven, hob, big fridges/freezer and microwave. Staff excellent, helpful and friendly. Nearest beach is a small scenic cove with a good restaurant. The mariner is 5 mins by car/taxi and has some shops and lots of really good restaurants. Old Town is about 10 to 5 mins away but has loads of everything as well as a nice beach. Highly recommend these villas.

Very clean tidy and spacious inside and outside though I never had the opportunity to use outside, as I was surprising my family who were staying at another complex not far away. The staff member who talked me through obtaining the key and getting access to the door cards was amazing.. she also realised I did not have a travel cot on my first nights stay, my 6 month old grand daughter had to sleep in the bed with me. (I requested a travel cot through booking.con who also did not forwards my email address onto the hotel either?)

It looks exactly like the pictures if not better! Spacious, clean and insta perfect for pictures! The bedrooms are great with big showers and beautiful views. It’s a lil bougie and we loved it! Wonderful location with two beaches all walking distance and they both have amazing restaurants! One beach has a masseuse, she’s very good and has magic hands! We are so impressed we are returning same time next year only with more friends! Monica made our stay amazing!

Leona

The location is perfect, 5min walk from the beach and 10min drive to the city centre. The rooms were spacious, the beds super comfortable, the rooms had blackouts on the windows which made super easy to sleep. There was a TV in each room, lots of mirrors, airco worked great! The pool is very spacious, everything around was super clean. We couldn't be happier with the place we stayed.
