The food was excellent .The staff very friendly and we loved having breakfast delivered to our door in the morning ! Great place... More

Beautiful time had at serafinos. Highlight being the wonderful meal we had at the restaurant. Pork belly was delicious and my husband's steak main looked and tasted divine. Although rooms look a little dated, still enjoyed ourselves with it's spacious and picturesque views. Will be visiting this place again.

This was our first stay at Hotel Serafino McLaren Vale, but will not be the last. We were very impressed from the moment we checked in until the time we departed (only one night this time, definitely more next time). All staff were warm and friendly, happy to listen to and answer any questions. The two-course dinner that was a... More

My wife and I stumbled across Serafino while on a visit to McLaren Vale. We decided to stay the night, as the cost of a dinner, bed and breakfast package was well priced. We are so glad we made that decision. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean and overlooked the beautiful swimming pool. Our rate included a 2 course meal... More

We stayed here in January, on a package of room and dinner in the restaurant, with breakfast to the room. The room was very spacious, had nice decor and was in a great position, near the pool and a lovely short walk to the restaurant. To say we booked a romantic break package, it was a shame that the bed... More

We stayed two nights and it was so relaxing. We had a spa room and the pool at our front door. Mclaren Vale is gorgeous and so close to all the touristy stuff you need to do on holidays but you do need a car to access everything. The room was nice but basic. We ate at the restaurant our... More

The rooms were your usual fare, comfortable and with all you'd need (bar an oven.) & the doorstep swimming pool and tranquil surrounds were very welcome (the 'Coast to Vines' bike track to Willunga right behind the Serafino is a day well spent.) But we found the staff to be a bit stuffy, as it would appear a few other... More

I have been twice to Serafino's and was pleased both times I went there. The bruschetta is delicious, its warm bread and tomato with cold buffalo mozzarella on top and the hot and cold flavour works really well. The chicken is a must, and so is their Paella - best PaelIa I have found anywhere hands down. It is expensive,... More
