We had an incredible stay at Villa Rafaella II Palace! The value for money was exceptional, and the rooms were clean and well-maintained. The location was perfect, with a quiet and safe neighborhood, yet still close to all the action in town. The staff, especially Pedro and Anna Marie, went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction.
The morning meal could have been improved with a wider variety of options.

The Villa Rafaella II Palace in Albufeira is a nature lover's dream! The balcony offers breathtaking views of the surrounding greenery, making me feel like I was right in the heart of nature. The private pool was a refreshing escape from the city hustle, and the kitchen allowed me to whip up my favorite meals whenever I pleased.
Personally, I found the private pool to be a bit small for my liking, but hey, that's just my preference. Others might still enjoy a cozy and intimate pool experience.

The villa exceeded our expectations, with its clean and tidy rooms, each equipped with a powerful shower and temperature-controlled water. The spacious living room had fast Wi-Fi and Netflix, keeping both adults and kids entertained. The heated pool was a big hit, and the electronically controlled shutters on the patio doors added convenience and security. The location was perfect, with a beautiful beach just a short walk away, and the marina within easy reach for dining and exploring. it was a fantastic holiday experience.
I do recommend this hotel.

From the moment we booked, Son, the owner, was extremely helpful and arranged a shuttle to pick us up. When we arrived, Pedro greeted us and even did a small shop of essential items for us, which was greatly appreciated. The villa itself was perfect for everyone in our group, with activities like pool and ping pong tables that kept us all entertained. The electric shutters in every door made it easy to put the children to bed for a nap, and the villa was very clean and well-maintained. The location was also great, with beautiful nearby beaches and a quiet and lovely area. We cannot recommend this villa enough - thank you to Pedro for taking such good care of us!
My wife says that for families with children, it would be great to have a bit more local information in the welcome pack. Info was limited but it didn't spoil our holiday in any way.

We had a fantastic stay at Villa Rafaella II Palace. Pedro and his family were amazing hosts, always just a phone call away and eager to assist us throughout our entire stay. They even allowed us to check-in early, which was a huge relief after a long journey with our two children since 4am. The villa itself was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for our group of six. Each bedroom had its own bathroom, and the pool and outdoor space were beautiful. The location was also perfect, with easy access to the Old Town and Marina by taxi. There was even a great restaurant and bar just around the corner. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Hard to think of anything 🤔

The villa was well equipped and had all the essentials that we needed for our romantic escape. The location was excellent, close to the beach and within walking distance to various restaurants and shops. We also enjoyed the privacy and quietness of the villa, making it a perfect getaway for couples.
The beds were not very comfortable and the outdoor furniture was not in the best condition. This was a bit disappointing as we wanted to relax and enjoy the outdoor spaces.

I felt like a professional chef with the fully equipped kitchen. The pool was a great spot for my failed Olympic diving attempts. And I discovered my undiscovered talent for table tennis and tennis.
The shower drain was like a mini swimming pool, made me wonder if I should host a synchronized swimming competition.

The room at Villa Rafaella II Palace was simply amazing! It had a cozy balcony where I enjoyed my morning coffee while admiring the beautiful view. The private pool was a refreshing escape from the summer heat. And having my own kitchen was so convenient, allowing me to cook my own meals and save money. I felt like I had my own little paradise!
I personally didn't fancy the kitchen too much. But hey, that's just me.

We had a fantastic stay at a beautiful villa in a quiet location near the beach. The owner, Anna Marie, arranged airport transfers for our group of seven, despite our different arrival times. She even took the time to drive us to the supermarket and give us a briefing on the neighborhood. The nearby City bar and Chinese restaurant provided great dining options, and we found a friendly taxi service through the bar as well. The villa itself was amazing - clean and spacious with powerful showers and fast Wi-Fi. The pool, heated especially for the kids, was a big hit. we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this villa for a family vacation.

Our family had a fantastic stay at this villa. the location was ideal, with bars and restaurants just a short walk away. the bedrooms were comfortable, with en-suite bathrooms for convenience. the pool area had plenty of chairs and tables, and the villa was very clean. the owners were helpful and responsive, ensuring we had everything we needed. We also appreciated the provision of towels for both indoor and outdoor use.
We did notice that some of the shower trays didn't drain away quickly, which created a small pool of water. This was a minor inconvenience that could be easily fixed.
