An Unforgettable Stay at Villa Raphael! Villa Raphael is an absolute gem! It's beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean, creating a truly charming atmosphere. The thermal pool was a pure delight, with some caipirinhas for perfect relaxation. Every morning, the breakfast was fantastic, complemented. What really stood out, though, was the outstanding service. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, making our stay truly special. We highly recommend Villa Raphael for anyone seeking a serene and beautiful getaway with top-tier amenities and unparalleled hospitality. We can't wait to return!

This is a 5 star property with 6 star staff. The place is beautiful. Truly gorgeous, the only reason for the 4 star rating is no bathroom vent. Sorry, but even in Brazil, a high end 5 star Pousada should not vent the bathroom shower/smells with a slide window into the outside walkway, by other rooms. I know its new for Brazil, but its a simple modern must.

Melhor opção pra quem quer pé-na-areia e conforto

Um dos poucos hotéis realmente pé-na-areia de Búzios, combina o livre acesso à linda praia da Ferradura ao conforto do ambiente bem instalado da piscina. O staff é bem preparado e muito cordial. Quarto limpíssimo, roupas de cama e banho super cheirosas, banheiro reformado e excelente ducha. Destaque para o café da manhã delicioso e uma carta de drinks autorais excelente.

The property was perfect, especially for a 2020 vacation. It was clean, spacious, and beautiful. The view from the sea-view room is incredible, and sleeping with the sound of the ocean is very calming. However, the best part of my stay were how kind, caring, attentive and interesting the staff were. It was very sad when we had to leave. I would absolutely recommend this property, it gets so much sunshine, the pool is lovely and and food is incredible.

Private Villa Luxury

This is an exceptional property with hibiscus blooms at corner of the manicured grounds and pool area, all just r steps through a private gate to the midst beautiful beach in Buzios. Our deluxe room had a French door balcony with stunning views, responsive a/c, stylish and bright decor, and ample space. Breakfasts were abundant and fresh, the staff were responsive but unobtrusive; we truly felt like the owners of a large and luxurious beach home rather than paying guests. 100% recommended!
