Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ulrich H. 16 Sept 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Port Rafael Ohne Zweifel verfügt das Objekt über einen einmaligen grandiosen Ausblick. Leider sind Möblierung und Ausstattung nicht mehr zeitgemäß. Vieles erinnert an den Charme der 70iger Jahre. Die Küche verfügt über keinen Backofen. Der Wasserkocher und der Toaster wurden uns erst auf Nachfragen zur Verfügung gestellt. Der Ort Porto Rafael ist wunderschön. Der malerische Strand ist mit dem Auto in 3 Minuten erreichbar. ##### Ulrich H. Stayed 14 nights in Sep 2024 ---
