As a couple travelling this was a perfect place to base ourselves in Faro. It's right near the bars however quiet at night so easy for sleeping and very close to the transport and harbour. We went to Alté and Tavira while we stayed which I highly recommend for wandering and swimming spots. Our room was clean and had a bathroom attached, all was very clean and had air con. The WiFi was very good and there was a communal kitchen we had access to but we didn't actually use since there are so many places to eat nearby. There's also a beautiful terrace we sat out on one evening that has a bit of a conservatory attached so if you're staying in this would be great so you're not stuck in your room. The lady running the guest house was also very helpful and was quick to respond to messages, I highly highly recommend here.

The location is perfect, the shower was powerful and the roof top was fantastic, for the price the stay was great only let down was the wobbly bed and the "adult" noises at the weekend,due to proximity to bars and being a budget accomodation it had a lot of "business". But with that in mind for the price I would book again.

Great little guest house

Excellent value for money right in the middle of Faro. Self check-in was super easy and although it is a lively bar area it felt very safe and the windows kept the noise down brilliantly. The roof terrace is a lovey little spot for a morning coffee or a nightcap :)
