Lovely guesthouse close to the old town
We had a great one-night stay here. It’s very central for access to Faro old town (10 mins walk). The room was airy and clean and we were pleased to be able to check-in much earlier than expected. Breakfast was included and was very tasty with lots of continental options.

Lovely guesthouse
We loved our room the studio suite. So clean and cute! The kitchen very nice as well as both table set up very nicely. Only drawback for me was I am a vegan and there were no milk options for coffee. Some fruit but the pastries always looked so good. Fresh rolls were vegan and good. My husband and I did have trouble walking so far 2 times a day into old town for both lunch and dinner. We are getting old and were tired from 2 months of heavy walking in Lisbon. Wish I booked a little closer. Staff was wonderful!

My stay was short and sweet. Arrived late at night, and left in the morning for a week long road trip BUT this place was a short ride from the airport, clear instructions for gaining access, everything clean and well maintained, nice breakfast array in the morning. Was a quick walk to marina. Would definitely choose again for a longer stay.

Amazing place in Faro
It’s a beautiful property. We had an amazon time staying. It’s so clean and peaceful. We loved that everything was of white colour in the room. It’s tiny but that’s what we paid for. Amazing budget option in Faro. And the owner/manager who met us, is an amazing person. I would definitely book this property again

Shame we couldnt stay longer
Lovely warm welcome from the host, who let us check in earlier than planned. They took us on a tour of the place and then left us to it. Easy location to find, fresh clean decor in a lovely building. We unfortunately missed out on the breakfast but could still use the kitchen if we needed. Would certainly recommend a longer stay here we were just there for one night.

the outside seating area which I was looking for was not available, because if you went outside, there was a dog that barked like crazy. The rest I loved. There were 2 shared bathrooms for 4 bedrooms, but we did not wait for a bathroom EVER. The owner brought fresh Pastel de Nata every morning and we had a chat. The breakfast rooms were nice and we had a shelf in the fridge to store wine and food. an easy walk to the busy downtown area.

6/10 Okay

Our room was really tiny for two people (not even pictured in the ad). The highlight is supposed to be the outdoor, but sadly it was locked from 10 pm to 8 am. And all day, their dogs stay there and can't stop barking at you until you if you try to access the garden/terrace area so you can't enjoy it.

GO HERE! this is such a beautiful place to stay. So CLEAN and convenient for the price. having a shared bathroom made no difference as there was always 1 bathroom free as there were 2. Fantastic communication and great instructions how to get in with my late check in. The breakfast was simple but very well laid out. Such a gorgeous dining room, well equipped bathroom, air conditioned and run by a lovely hard working family. Thank you for a great stay.

Nice unique bnb style accommodation
Quirky bnb style accommodation. Nice place close to the marina. Owners dogs (x3) stay in the terrace so I did not use this… they were also an alarm clock as they barked when people woke up. But it’s a good affordable place to stay… close to buses and airport for a short stay. Free breakfast is nice addition.
