We had a great 8 day stay in May 2026. Quiet area with excellent local restaurants and small grocery store only a 3 minutes walk away. The Townhouse was very clean and spacious for 2 people. Nuno was a great communicator. Beaches nearby. We would definitely recommend for those seeking a quiet and safe area.
Lovely terraced villa, with all you need for a lovely holiday. located in a great area, not to noisy and next to a lovely coast line and with great restaurant's and food close by.
We had a wonderful two week stay. Our villa was very comfortable and in a great location. Check in was very easy and communication with our host Nuno was always prompt. The villa was clean when we arrived and a cleaning service was provided half way through our stay including fresh linens and towels. Would definitely stay here again.
I booked Villa Rafãella due to its affordability and location. I stayed for 3 weeks, 2 solo and then was joined by my daughter and 2 grandchildren.Nuno was first class as a host- clear instructions to check in and always available if any issue arose. Someone had swapped the sun lingers and Nuno came within an hour with new ones.The villa is spotless, decorated really well and The bed is the most comfortable bed I have slept in abroad!There are some updates required within the complex- swimming pool could be maintained better but I was off exploring and I guess this is reflected in the price.I would highly recommend this villa to anyone who simply wants a base to explore the Algarve. Only 35 mins from the airport and an array of beautiful beaches and restaurants close by.Loved it so much I’m booking for next year!
Bel emplacement. Calme , près des plages et du centre ville. Cet appartement nécessite une attention particulière pour la propreté, tête de lit tachée, plancher salle ( j’ai passé la moppe mais avant j’ai du la rincer abondamment car elle était salle aussi) drain de douche bouché même après une demande. Aucun support pour les serviettes et aucune tablette dans la douche. Ne mérite pas le nom de Luxury Town house. Pour nous c’est un 2.5 étoiles max!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us. On the other hand we can not understand what you are saying about the cleaning because you never mentioned any issues. Why only now you are referring this here. You should have informed us of any problem during your stay so we could have had time to address the issue.
We spoke during your stay and everything was perfect.
We find this hard to believe as we never had any issues regarding cleaning and the proof is the other reviews. ALL the reviews were perfect. This just demonstrates your frustration for some reason and does not make any sense for this accommodation. This is a clear demonstration of trying to diminish out accommodation for your personal reason which in fact is disappointing.
