Villa Raphael

After staying near João Fernandes beach for a few days, we wanted tranquility and this is what we got at Villa Raphael. The feel of the Villa is quite exclusive, as if you're a personal guest at Raphael's villa. The reception and restaurant area is beautiful, with nice garden and gorgeous views. The service from all staff was excellent. As it was an adult only guesthouse, it was always tranquil in the garden and there was no loud music (just some quiet jazz in the background). Ferradura beach is a much quieter beach than the beaches near the centre. The pool was a good size and we could swim some short lengths, and the water temperature was perfect. There were lots of sunloungers with shade and other comfortable seating in the garden, and also some chairs with parasols on the beach for use by Villa guests. Our standard room was a good size, nicely decorated and clean. The bed was very comfortable, and air conditioning worked well. There was a good choice for the a la carte breakfast, and the quality was very good. We also had dinner there one night and it was very tasty, and not too expensive. The town centre is not close, but it takes less than 10 mins by Uber or taxi. We had a lovely relaxing stay, and would recommend Villa Raphael to anyone staying in Búzios.

This hotel was absolutely perfect… the location is amazing, right on the beach, the service absolutely top notch and great value for money. You could easily leave your stuff on one of the many cabanas by the pool, which was safe and watched by the staff, then walk down to the beach and enjoy the sand/ocean before returning. The food & bar options were also delicious. We found it incredibly peaceful and would love to go back!

The hotel was excellent! Right in front of one of the best beaches in Buzios! The breakfast was excellent! The whole experience was amazing, attentive service, spotless comfort, and thoughtful details that make us feel genuinely cared for.

The grounds, rooms, and amenities are beautiful. The breakfast is delicious. The view of the beach and the access to Ferradura is amazing. The staff are incredibly friendly and happy to help. Easily my favorite hotel in Búzios!

Lovely and very attentive staff. Perfect location at the beach, big plus is the sports area and spa. Very beautiful garden and a perfect place to hang out.
