Essential Italy

Sitting on the private and spacious terrace of this comfortable property, the only decision you will have to make is whether you should take a dip in the pool just under the villa or go down to one of the nearby sandy coves to swim in the turquoise coloured sea.

Villa Rei is situated on one of the prime sites at Porto Rafael in a small and unpretentious group of private villas called ‘La Sarra’ with its magnificent backdrop of granite rock. Greenery abounds and the accommodation is literally just a stone’s throw from the super swimming pool. Italians generally prefer to bathe in the sea (salt water is, according to them, most beneficial to the body!) so you will be pleased to find that the pool is often all yours to enjoy.

Entering from the partly shaded terrace, Villa Rei offers spacious and well decorated accommodation, perfect for a couple wanting to get away from it all but also great for a family. The ground floor consists of a double bedroom and en-suite wc, a large living/dining area with a recently renovated kitchen area complete with gas hob, fridge/freezer and microwave oven plus a shower room. The second bedroom is situated in a gallery above the sitting area which is accessed by a wooden staircase (not suitable for toddlers or small children but ideal for teenagers).

‘The location was fabulous, we loved Porto Rafael plus it was so easy to reach other areas of the island for days out.’

The pool plus the stupendous views make this a very attractive holiday destination and we feel, great value for money.
