Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Moradias Villas Rufino from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the spacious, two-level villas, which include full kitchens, comfortable furniture and large living areas, alongside terraces equipped with seating. The ocean views are a highlight for many, especially from the pool area which sometimes feels almost private, even during peak season. Guests find the location convenient, with some restaurants and an Apolónia supermarket within walking distance; a few guests have mentioned the office hours being shorter than expected. Barbecuing on the terrace with sea views is a popular activity, and the proximity to the beach makes it easy to enjoy seaside dining.

lovely apartment with great amenities

clean apartmentequipped kitchensea viewlimited staff

the apartment was clean and spacious. it was equipped with everything i needed, including a complete kitchen. i had nice balconies that offered a wonderful view of the mediterranean sea.

I had much higher expectations for this hotel. There is barely any staff. the office opens late and closes early.

Dining

The beach had a nice restaurant with fresh fish. the restaurant was located right on the beach and provided a scenic dining experience. Service was friendly, and menu was vast, with great quality of the dishes.

Admirable Stay at this Villa

full kitchenlarge living areacomfortable furniturelarge terrace

The two-level villa had a full kitchen and a large living area. I found the furniture very comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked with all the necessary utensils. The villa also featured a large terrace with plenty of seating, it was very nice.

I noticed the office hours seemed a little short, it closed earlier than I would prefer. I thought it was not ideal.

The playground was a bit sad. the tennis court looked like nobody cared about it for ages. Weeds everywhere. ants were all over the place. i had to pay some tourist tax, which was like a fun surprise i wasn't warned about.
