Casa do Médico de São Rafael

Disappointing. We did not get what we booked and paid for. The room description was for one of the larger rooms with a sofa chair, and a bathtub. Pictures also showed a balcony/deck area. Our room was tiny, no chair, no deck and no bathtub. Being 7 months pregnant I was very much looking forward to soaking in the tub so I was quite disappointed when our room only had a shower. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, you could feel the springs, and it was so hard my husband and I both woke up sore in the morning. We were unable to shower in the morning as there was no running water in the room. We couldn’t even rinse our toothbrushes or have a sip of water as we couldn’t get even a drop out. The only reason I had three stars was because the breakfast was great. Huge selection and it all tasted very good. Also we were intrigued by the pictures of the library and viewing their large selection of books. We were surprised to find that all of the books were locked behind glass doors so we couldn’t even view them. Overall I am very dissatisfied with our stay here. It was overpriced and the room descriptions were either false or we were given an incorrect room.

Staff were all very helpful, attentive and friendly

Beautiful water view for amazing sunsets. Wonderful staff and huge assortment of breakfast buffet options!

Beautiful

Great views, boutique Hotel perched on the cliffs overlooking Sines. Staff incrediblely friendly and hospitable.Great room, clean light and airy. The shower doors could be better sealed and gym had few machines in ( this what could improve) Otherwise food in restaurant was excellent and staff especially the reception and the dining hall staff were excellent. I would definitely stay here again

Unplanned side trip to Sines - great little hotel. Welcomed with great enthusiasm. Super quiet and clean. Bed was very comfortable. Didn't eat here, but food looked great and many were eating. Had drinks on the patio which was beautiful views. Breakfast was outstanding! Sines is a sleepy little town, glad we stayed a night!

Cet hôtel est une ancienne maison de médecin situé au bord de mer. Chambre pas très grande sans vue sur la mer. Mais les aires communes ont une vue imprenable. Excellent service et facile de stationner

Fantastic boutique hotel. Highly recommend

The location is outstanding with expansive views to the beautiful beach/harbor. The hotel is in an interesting historical district. We had dinner at the hotel to take advantage of the setting. The food and service was first class, easily the best dinner we had during our two weeks in Portugal. All of the staff were gracious and helpful. The rooms were nicely finished in period decor.

Beautiful hotel, very well kept and clean throughout , lovely staff

From the moment you get there the staff was excellent. The views are stunning. It was a lovely way to end. Our trip would stay again.

This hotel is spectacularly beautiful !

We loved our stay here! Such a beautiful setting. We were greeted by the sweetest check in person. She was soooaccomadating and helpful. Finding the place was a bit of a challenge but we made it. We enjoyed the breakfast as well.

Great property

Very nice. Nice welcome with chocolates and port. Great breakfast.

Great place to stay. Right downtown a stone throw away from the castle. Joanna was amazing. She walked us around the hotel and gave us the history of building. The breakfast in the morning was the best. Huge selection of food to choose from.

Wonderful quiet historical building overlooking the sea. Very comfortable rooms and terrific breakfast. Staff was so kind and helpful, especially Joanna.... Highly recommend

Very clean, walk to restaurants, staff was super helpful and allowed me to change my reservation. Everyone was fabulous and the breakfast was fantastic!

Everything was great! Recommend it highly! Staff was friendly and helpful! Great location!

Great stay more or less, our 3rd time so definitely recommend. Positives: Nice sized updated room with great wood floors, good lighting & storage, extra seating area & desk. Comfortable robes (and little Snickers!) provided, great shower & innovative vanity area. Cable TV had great channels to throw on movie to sleep to. Parking on-site & very close to the room via elevator. Small gym but usable for short time. Fantastic breakfast for such a small hotel. We had a friend join us for a breakfast, the amazing lady at the front wouldn't let me pay for him... how sweet is that !! (maybe I should be quiet about this haha) Negatives: >hard mattress, for the price should be better >fridge was off- understandable, but to turn it on you have to move the desk completely and crawl around to unplug a lamp to plug it in. Kind of ridiculous and an easy fix. >only the restaurant has amazing views of the lagoon/sea, all the rooms have windows that open up to parking for the condos next door. Probably not the hotel developer's fault, the more I have come to understand historic building restoration in Portugal.
