Reviews of Raphael Hotel Arbatax

A lovely small hotel in a great location in Arbatax! Very friendly staff - The room was perfect and the whole hotel was clean and tidy. Breakfast was very good and the rooftop bar was spectacular, the welcome drinks and cocktails with nibbles were a highlight of our stay.

Perfect

Cosy and stylish boutique hotel with a lush garden, a small swimming pool, and a large rooftop terrace for aperitifs (and, one select days, live music). The staff were extremely kind and helpful. The breakfast was out of this world!

Well located, friendly staff, comfy beds, and large bathroom. Breakfast spread was great too. The best parts were the little pool in the courtyard for a refreshing dip at the end of the day as well as the welcome drinks on the rooftop. Parking on the street was a breeze as well.

There wasn't an elevator so we had to lug our heavy suitcases up the stairs, so plan appropriately. Start lifting now.

The staff and hotel were amazing. The rooms were comfortable well appointed. It was a beautiful boutique hotel, full of charm and character with a tasty breakfast spread.

The town was tiny facing a not so cute port. However, the staff and the hotel and its amenities made up for all that.

Lovely hotel, very comfortable bedroom, lots of little treats and warm and helpful hosts A nice pool to relax around at the end of the day and delicious breakfast

The air con in our room wasn’t brilliant

The hotel was close to Restaurants & parking was easy. A very personal vibe about this small family run, Boutique Hotel. We were made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Auxanne gave advice & guidance on the best beaches & attractions plus arranged bookings for Restaurants, Wine tasting & Olive Oil experience. The room was spotless with bespoke cotton bed linen, air conditioning, fridge, safe, toiletries, exceptional quality bed and room cleaned every day as an option. The roof top lounge area was a must for relaxation with great views across the port & Island. There is a small plunge pool with a decking area & shaded sun beds. Although breakfast only, it was sumptuous with cooked & fresh continental alternatives. Julia & Pierre Paolo's breakfast is genuinely a real feast with, homemade cakes, fresh fruit yoghurt pots, pastries, continental choice & cereal plus Delicious Omelettes will satisfy any hunger pangs. Raphael is the most beautiful Hotel to match this stunning Island. 9.5/10

Nothing

The staff were great and the hotel was such a lovely place to base ourselves

Lovely room with everything you needed. Breakfast was the best we have had. Staff really lovely and helpful. Enjoyed spending quiet time or an early evening drink on their roof terrace.

Can’t think of anything.

Beautiful hotel and room, staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, breakfast was delicious

The location required using the car every day

Beautifully decorated and clean

This was the best hotel we stayed in in our Italian trip. From the rooms to the food to the roof top terrace - everything was a 10/10!!

The staff were so friendly. Made you feel like family. The hotel and rooms were spotless. The detail in small things - I would stay here every time I travel to Sardinia!

Beautiful converted Liberty villa. I stayed in the gorgeous corner room with two balconies, which was truly a memorable experience. Glorious breakfast, friendly and helpful staff, lovely garden and pool. A great base for seafood restaurants (Ittiturismo Chiosco di Ponente for example) and early boat trips from Santa Maria Navarrese out to see the beaches around Gulf of Orosei.

It was excellent experience! Best service, delicious breakfast, breathtaking views, stunning architecture and design.

The staff were excellent

Pool was disappointing

Lovely modern hotel and great breakfast

Nothing

Modern and sophisticated conversion of an older building done to an exceptional standard.

The balcony was very small and only on a raised ground floor. It could only be used for drying swimwear.

- family owned hotel, everybody is really nice! - quiet, not so many rooms - nice backyard pool - fresh breakfast - amazing rooftop with good drinks and aperitivo - good restaurants close by - perfect location to do “golfo di orosei” boat tours - we always found free parking in the street of the hotel

A former stately mansion in the center of Arbatax has been transformed into Hotel Raphael. The hotel is family run by Julia, Pier Paulo and Oxana. Those three are wonderful people who do their utmost to please their guests. The hotel itself is modern and designed with taste and care. The rooftop terrace is a wonderful place to relax and to enjoy the views. Our room was spacious as well as the bathroom. Julia is a joyful person who with her pleasant enthusiasm gives you in the morning the good vibes for the new day while preparing eggs in any style at your wishes. We had a wonderful time and find the hotel absolutely recommendable.

Nothing. Everything was perfect

The hotel is an exceptionally renovated building with a style and attention to detail that you would expect from a 5-star hotel. The staff is also exceptional, taking great care of both the guests and facilities with what feel and look like genuine love. The breakfasts were incredibly delicious--a huge spread of sweet and savory foods (including made-to-order items) and excellent coffees.

No fault of the hotel's but I wish I had been in a hotel that had a view of the sea. This property is spectacular and it just seems a shame that it doesn't also have views. The front courtyard, where the pool and a ping pong table are located, could also use some landscaping. The area looks somewhat wild and doesn't reflect the style of the rest of the property.

Nice parting gift left for us. Breakfast was very good. Lovely pool. Nice quiet hotel. Beach towels and beach bag provided - nice touch. Lovely clean and modern room and bathroom

On checkout staff speaking to one another and didn’t acknowledge us
