Unfortunately, I would never recommend this guesthouse. It is rated 9.2/10 but should be rated 6/10 online. The photos on the website are insanely deceptive. There was blood on our bed when we walked in, the curtains were completed stained, the faucet leaked uncontrollably, and the chair in the corner of the room was filthy. Perhaps the villas or apartments were better but this was our experience in the guesthouse room. I am a pretty flexible traveller, but this was not good. Very unfortunate and we felt very uncomfortable.

No blankets provided. No instructions or house manual was provided and the communication with property wasn’t timely as they have very limited reception hours

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

The apartments are like small vacation rentals. The large communal pool looked nothing like in the photos and was a bit disappointing. The apartment itself was vey nice and large with outdoor balcony

Everything was great and we enjoyed our stay

Beautiful location, nice and clean apartment, unbeatable views, great staff

Very large property with beautiful views! Great for a stay if you’re okay being a bit outside the main parts of the city.

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.

Clean, very nice staff. Rooms need an update.

Staff were just lovely and made us feel very welcome and comfortable. Allowed us to check in early so we could attend a family wedding nearby. Breakfast was fantastic with a great view while eating. Clean room and great area in walkable distance to beach.

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.

All was great. Very quiet & great location. Internet was a bit unreliable. Not very good lighting in the unit offered.

Fantastic area, quite, safe.

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.

Great hotel

Loved this villa and will definitely be back! Plenty of room for a couple or family, nice kitchen to cook in and plenty of entertainment room downstairs and at your private backyard. Loved having a pool to ourselves and a balcony that looked out to the ocean. Very peaceful and quiet!! Beach close by was small and not busy which was nice. Easy quick drive into Albufiera for food or to walk around. Parking below the property is a little bit of a pain, but nice and safe since the villas are gated.

Almost new condo with parking and great ocean view

Great location, away from the business of Albufeira old town

Great place

The property is much smaller than it appears in the photos and the pool was absolutely freezing making it too unpleasant to use. The room had everything we needed and was very clean. The front desk staff was very helpful— offering warm greetings each morning and tips on local things to do. Breakfast was nice and offered a variety of things to chose from. Loved the quiet location and the easy walk to the nearby beach. The hotel does not provide parking, but the public parking on the street was easily accessible each night.
