We loved our stay here! It had everything we needed and was located in a very good location not too far from the main area of Maiori and the ferry. We felt very safe and the garden was beautiful. Everything was clean and as described!

Great place. Outdoor spaces are great. Gian Luca met us their and gave us the tour. Showed us the coffee machine and a stock of coffee. Maiori location easy to get to port, beach, restaurants, groceries without going up and down steep hills. Very clean.

Villa Rafael was easily the best part of our vacation experience. We split our week between Naples and Maiori, but after staying here, I wish we’d spent the whole week in Maiori. The property manager, Gian Luca, has thoughtfully arranged for every modern comfort while making it feel rustic and rural. He met us with a bottle of wine, gave us a tour, and made himself available for any questions we may have. The property was immaculate, water pressure in the shower was perfect, bed comfortable. The hot tub and outdoor space are really where this property shines. Relaxing in the lemon grove, in the hammock, or in the hot tub were moments that felt so serene! There is a 100 Euro fee for using the hot tub, but this is not unreasonable considering the extra electricity and maintenance time it requires. The other incredible thing about Villa Rafael is that while everything about it and its outdoor areas feel so secluded and private, you are also just steps away from a wonderful cafe, grocery stores, restaurants, and most importantly—the beach! It is the best of both worlds here. I’m hesitant to tell you how incredible it is because that will make it more challenging for me to book again in the future, but Gian Luca and the owners have put so much love and care into this property that it ought to be known. If you want to relax properly without a care and know that everything you could want is still just a 5 minute walk away, Villa Rafael is the place for you.

The villa was the perfect home away from home. My son and I recently stayed here and it was lovely. Gian Luca was so wonderful with communication and very kind and helpful with anything we needed. It was very private, the garden and terrace were beautiful and spacious. It is in a graat location, So easy to get to restaurants, shops the ferry and the beach and playground were mins away. Thanks for making our first time to Italy so memorable!
