Villa Beatrice Overview
If you’re looking for something really special with sublime views, then Villa Beatrice ticks all the boxes. With a palatial, Portuguese design, this four-bedroom villa has a sweeping outdoor staircase which leads up to bedrooms overlooking the sea. Think gleaming whitewashed walls with contrasting sandy terracotta tiles.
A ten-metre private lap pool curves out directly from the living room patio doors onto a manicured lawn, complete with tropical straw parasols and sun loungers. An outdoor mosaic tiled shower at the poolside allows you to dip in and cool off as often as you wish. It really does offer maximum chill factor.
Indoors, light, elegant décor, lots of glass windows and an open plan design, create a summertime vibe. Cream sofas and light wooden furniture fill the downstairs living space, with an internal staircase leading to the upper floor. With four bedrooms, upstairs both are ensuite and the two twin bedrooms on the ground level share a bathroom.
The laid back pace and warm welcome of the Sao Rafael locals will have you relaxing in no time. With a peaceful, sandy shore, Praia Grande beach is great for kids as it has a separate kid’s playground. There are also pedalos and kayaks to rent along the shore. Golf enthusiasts will love the several world-class golf courses nearby too.

Resort Description
Much like the rest of the alluring Algarve, Sao Rafael is home to a pristine Blue-Flag beach backed by towering limestone cliffs, making for an idyllic and picturesque retreat! There's a real easy-going way of life here, with old-school restaurants serving delicious Portuguese cuisine. For a slice of adventure, the vibrant and action-packed resort of Albufeira is a short drive away where water parks, beaches and a thrilling nightlife await.

We - two generations with small children - felt very comfortable in the villa with its spacious grounds and pool. The villa is in a quiet holiday area and a beautiful beach can be reached in 10 minutes on foot. Highly recommended if you want to get away from the tourist hustle and bustle. We really enjoyed the cleaning by two exceptionally friendly women. We found this service to be a real luxury.

The villa was excellent, very spacious and clean inside and out with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Lovely views from outside and 15 min walk to nearest beach. Sao Rafael is a small resort, with just several restaurants and shops within walking distance. The Marina is a longish walk, or you can taxi. Albufeira town is definitely a taxi ride , but not expensive to do this. We visited nearby Aqualand water park one day which was a fun day out. Would come back to this area and to Villa Beatrice as it was lovely. Also have to complement the Solmar rep Donna - she was friendly and helpful with tips and advice, especially when one of us needed medical help.

We were a family of 3 couples and one baby. The villa was very spacious inside and outside. The kitchen was very well equipped . We had a car but it not essential as everything you need is in walking distance. Our rep Donna was very helpful.

We stayed here April 28th 2018 for a week, a party of 3 adults and 3 small children. The villa was absolutely spotless when we arrived. Having stayed in villas every year, I can say this was definitely the cleanest we have had. It is exactly as the photos display. What you see in the photos is what you get. It is a very big villa and the bedrooms are really big with a massive amount of storage which you don’t see in the pics. The outside area is brilliant and very spacious. We used the BBQ a few times and it was perfect. The pool was quite cold, but once again, attributable to the time of year I think (non heated pool) The only thing the villa needs is a blow heater for downstairs. It did get quite cold at night time and although there was a small plug in oil heater, it wasn’t enough as it’s a big area for it to heat(bedrooms have wall mounted heaters/aircon) The area is very quiet and we felt very safe in the area. There are about 6-7 good quality restaurants within 500-600 mtrs. The beaches are amazing, and safe for the kids too. We will, without doubt, be returning next year, the place is amazing. Thanks so much to Solmar Villas for the service they provided. The girls at the office I dealt with during the booking procedure were great and very helpful
