| said: Breakfast was not even what would be classed as continental and never varied once in three weeks. No toast, watery orange squash not juice, processed slices of ham and cheese and bread rolls if you got down in time.
The maid changed the towels most days but the bedding was only changed about every third day. The bathroom was very small and only had a shower.
The bathroom floor was mopped daily but the room was only done twice in the entire three weeks and we ended up dirtying the sheets when getting into bed as the floor was dusty and sandy.
The lift is for two people with cases maximum and regularly was out of order.
The woman on reception was pleasant and helpful but the breakfast waitress was most certainly not. There doesn't appear to be any night staff controlling the noise in the hotel and it's difficult to get a full night's sleep.
The location is close to the town and beach about a 10 min walk.
There was no entertainment and the bar closes at midnight at the latest.

| said: My 4 mates and me stayed here in March 2008 for my 40th.
We all had a double room each on the 2nd floor. The rooms were very clean and had an en suite which was also spotless. the room had AC and twin beds. I stayed in Room 201, the view wasn't the best but I wasn't there for the view!!
There was a small admin error when we checked in but Helen, who was magnificent, soon sorted it out. All of the staff in the hotel are very friendly snd helpful.
Location wise its a 5 minute walk down hill to the old town square.
I think this hotel id ideal for a short break and woudl reccomend it to anyone.

| said: A small intimate hotel with friendly, helpful staff. Looks like an old-fashioned converted manor house. It is basic and generally clean but some areas could do with a facelift.
The breakfast is continental style and some items ie cereal tasted stale but the coffee and rolls were very nice. You can enjoy your breakfast sitting in the garden if the bar is too full (bar used as breakfast room).
There is a small pool (no kids section) with a few sunbeds dotted around which gets the sun until around 3:30pm. If you want the sun after that it's a short walk to the beach via steps and a tunnel.
There is no entertainment program and we didn't manage to find the games room. This wasn't a problem to us but a few families with young children found keeping them occupied in the hotel quite difficult.
The rooms vary in size and facilities differed greatly between the two rooms we had- one room had no aircon,bath or balcony yet we paid the exact same rates.Rooms overlooking the pool are also above the Old Town Square so are more noisy than the rooms over the gardens.
All in all it's a budget B&B and we would stay again if it was just the two of us using it as a base.

| said: The Vila Recife is an old mansion house converted to holiday rooms, it’s clean and the swimming pool is small and enclosed by a wall.
If you get a room above ground level. Fine. But there are rooms below street level and the window faces onto a brick wall, with the street above. Lots of street noise!
Very popular with Scandinavians. But not a hotel we'd want to stay at again
