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.

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. ##### Pascal Tobias Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ciaran Oct 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 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. ##### Ciaran Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel Jun 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Villa was very modern and had all the amenities ##### Daniel Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dijon Jun 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/583e95e6-4c25-4ab7-b822-36e5c06dcd90-1748773378143.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/58c864e6-5f76-4037-a270-d3d5b35a05e6-1748773371374.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/86892154-7314-468e-9091-b4eb76bb0788-1748773373023.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8018fbf8-a185-47b0-9bd0-786b55bb368d-1748773364242.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Dijon Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller May 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Brilliant little place and great service Could do with a little music playing at breakfast and some non-dairy milk options but otherwise faultless stay ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chinecherem Jun 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I really loved this place.

I made a mistake booking and had the option of either losing my money or booking a new room somewhere else for a family member since they couldn’t accommodate them. It was partially my fault but the way the situation was handled was very mean business style. I would’ve expected them to be a bit more nice or considerate. Even the main manger that was their stated that their isn’t anything else she can talk to me about so I should stop talking. The place is nice though and close to the beach and clean. All the other staff where friendly. ##### Mary-ann Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen Oliveira Sep 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel is amazing.
