Great accommodation. Very spacious. Right in the centre of all the nice eateries, and just a short walk from the marina. Totally recommended. Will definitely be back again. Thanks for the lovely stay.
The property is clean, comfortable and in a great location. We weren’t clear on how to check out so waited a little for instructions. Otherwise the property was great and communication with the host was excellent
Very easy to reach the property from the airport. The owner gave us instructions to get the property before our visit, which was very helpful. Lovely, spacious, clean room.
We enjoyed our stay. Thanks for everything.
Nice property at the heart of the town very close to most of the things. The room was very clean and had most of the amenities as stated. The owner was very responsive and friendly. Would recommend for family vacations and visits to Faro. It’s also close to the railway station which was very nice.
Loved it here . We were made to feel welcome and the room was very nice , spacious, clean and cool .
All facilities were fantastic
Thank you I’ll be back
Excellent central room before an early flight from Faro airport. Newly renovated, very clean, comfortable, good shower and within 5 minutes walk of bus and train station. Ticked all my boxes! Thank you for your hospitality, Filipe.
Ideal location, a very short walk from loads of restaurants, bars and mini-marts. Room was spacious and clean with a nice shared outdoor area. Filipe was a great host, very polite and helpful. Reccomend for anyone staying in Faro.

We got a pretty large room with clean and comfortable beds. The place had an ensuite kitchen and bathroom. There was a shared kitchen area and lots of spaces for people to just meet and chat.
The location was great - walkable from most tourist attractions. Everything was at walkable distance. While you need to take a taxi from the airport, the train station is literally 5 mins walk.
Our family stayed one night in the private room/bathroom to be close to the airport. The property was clean and conveniently located to the historic downtown. Filipe met us upon arrival and was both punctual and helpful.
We would stay here again.
Property was well located for sight seeing, shopping, tourist information and just relaxing . Common kitchen was well equipped and there was a common sitting room. Room was near, tidy and clean.
Good stay, one night, on route to airport.
Very kind and helpful staff, clean comfortable room with nice ensuite.
Only one minor problem was the stairs as we had two large, heavy cases. Good value and location
