The staff is very accomodating. We arrived early around 2pm, and the owner let us checked in around that time. It was supposed to be 3pm. The bedroom is also much bigger in person and its also clean! Will probably go back again next year! Thank you

Great value at an extremely clean little motel. Saint Raphael villa is only a three minute walk to Shirahama Beach. There are no extra amenities but the rooms are spacious, comfortable, and very clean. When my taxi driver was confused on the ride in, the Villa Owner agreed to meet the taxi at a nearby convenience store. Bus service in the area is convenient but it does not run very late. Really laid back and relaxing area.

Excellent value for the vicinity when staying near Shimoda. A short bus ride away from the train station, a short walk to the beach, very quiet and relaxing. The perfect value for the price.

Sad because it could be so much more inviting.

Not so welcoming. At first I mistook the owner as another guest. No suitable local restaurants available except one.

I visited this place with my two daughters and it was very very comfortable for us. Very comfortable beds, I slept with my little daughter and we had enough space for each. Cattle, tea, coffee, tea cups (not plastic), Quite place. Very cozy and stylish. I recommend this hotel to everyone. When we had check out but still planed to go to Shirohama beach the man who is holding this hotel (I think) asked us if we would like to keep our suitcase while we are going to the beach and also if we will need to take shower after beach. That was sooo nice. Because in another guest house householder said that we have to pay 500 yen in every hour if we want to keep the suit case there.

家族的雰囲気なオーナーさんのお出迎え。部屋も小洒落た感じで良い。ただし、温水洗浄便座が付いてなかったのが残念。その他細かいところで埃があり、もう少し掃除をお願いしたい。部屋の照明は、天井ではなくベッド横の照明で間接照明すると完璧です。ぐっすり眠れました。
