We had a fantastic stay. The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed for our stay. With two young children, the apartment worked perfectly. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of the old town, with a few minutes’ walk to the Arco da Vila, the marina, and the pier to get boats out to the beaches or on the Ria Formosa. Lots of great restaurants within a few minutes walk too. Fernanda was a warm and welcoming host, and the communication was great. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay in Faro and were very sorry to leave.

Wonderful place to stay!

The location was excellent, the owners/landlords were always available and accommodated all our needs. We had lots of comfortable indoor space and a beautiful outdoor courtyard. If we ever go back to Faro, this is where we would want to stay.

Great unique location in the Old Town of Faro. The taxi drivers at the airport weren’t sure where the address was when we showed them. I guess that’s because most people stay in hotels.Ideal location, and everything was provided. Fernanda, our host was helpful when we asked for information.The main entrance door can bang closed if your aren’t careful, so be aware Thanks Fernanda

We had such a lovely stay in Faro. Fernanda was such a gracious and welcoming hostess. Her home was beautiful and in the perfect place to explore the town. I just wish we had been able to stay longer. Special thanks to Fernanda for her patience with us, trying to master the door locks. Five stars, all around.

Excellent location and very good for 2 couples.The host Fernanda waited for us as we were delayed because of new passport system. We were late arriving. The apartment is spotlessly clean and has everything you need. I loved the little garden.Restaurants in the old town are minutes away!The ferry kiosks are a few minutes away too. All in all an excellent choice.My only concern was it would have been nice for us to have a bottle of water in the fridge when we arrived as it was late.
