We booked Mar A Vista but on arrival in the transfer bus we were told we had been moved! This infact turned out to be a good thing as the Mar A Vista was about 15mins walk further uphill from Vila Recife, which was only 5-10mins walk from the old town main square. If you have walking difficulties it may... More

My sister and I stayed here for a short break, got a very reasonable deal, fantastic location right in the Old Town, all staff were extremely helpful and when I forgot an item of clothing, I emailed them and they posted it to me without a problem! Its things like that that would give me no hesitation in staying there... More

Good value for money, basic breakfast in the morning but that is because the hotel is being refurbished @ £12 each per night you can't complain. The room was serviced everyday and the staff were great, we would stay again. More

Basic but spotless. In fact the cleaners were fantastic. Picking my clothes up and folding them neatly ! Sadly for... More

We stayed in Vila Recife from 22 April to 2 May 2012. The rooms were immaculate and comfortable. There was a fridge and ensuite facilities though the balcony was tiny! However, you could still get a view over the town from the balcony nonetheless. The continental breakfast was adequate but became boring so we ate breakfast out on a few... More

We have just returned today from 10 days at the Villa Recife. The hotel is basic, but the room (401, on the side, overlooking the side road, 4th floor) was immaculate. Clean towels every day and every surface cleaned daily too!! Yes, a bit noisy at times, the lady above us seemed to have no concept of stiletto heels on... More
