We loved our stay at Rafael’s. Communication was easy and efficient and Rafael and his son were lovely hosts. Even leaving a welcome packing for us on check in, which is rare these days.
The house was perfect us, I wouldn’t say “dated” as some reviews have, I would say “retaining original features”. All homes are so modern and homogenous these days that they lack any charm and originality, this home is as it was when Rafael grew up in it, classic and full of beautiful antique furniture. It has lots of different spaces to sit and relax throughout the home.
It is spacious and cool throughout. There are 5 bedrooms, 2 of which have air con, 2 are connected to an upstairs lounge which has aircon which filters through to those bedrooms. The 5th bedroom does not have aircon but does have a fan.
The pool and terrace area are spacious and kept 5 kids happy. The views are lovely. There are “good” restaurants and a lovely bakery within 2 mins walk and supermarket and pharmacy in 5mins walk. Bigger supermarkets in Inca 10mins away. The beaches of the west/south west are between 30-60 mins drive away, so still accessible.
All in all we loved our stay and thought it was excellent value for the size of the property including aircon and a pool. Would definitely recommend. Thanks Rafael!
