We were upgraded from a standard room which had a nice view. The complimentary drink was a nice touch. All the staff we encountered were great and the food was better than anticipated.It was an easy 15 minute walk to the airport - even in the dark.

We picked this hotel for a one night stay due to its proximity to the airport. The room was large but had a pitched ceiling which my husband bumped his head on multiple times. It was a 20 minute uber ride into Faro for restaurants and sightseeing. As others have mentioned, there is no elevator and the carpeting on the stairs is badly stained.

This small boutique hotel, close to the airport is ideal for a quick stopover. The staff was amazing. A little oasis with a beautiful pool was a pleasant surprise. Highly recommend!

I loved it's quality of decor and furnishing, the spacious rooms, food choices, pool and access to the airport. It's more like a boutique hotel than guesthouse, I wish I'd been staying longer.

Perfect stopover

We really enjoyed our stay at the aria Formosa Guesthouse. It looks recently built or renovated with a modern and clean design. We used it as a stop over from a late arrival into Faro. It was close to the airport and easy to walk from the next morning to collect an airport car hire. We took a taxi who found it hard to locate at first. Checking Information was clear and included self checkin in case we arrived past midnight. Staff were friendly. The breakfast was inexpensive but delicious and included a wide spread. Our room was huge and had good views over the ria Formosa. I’d stay again!

Hi, the hot tub was cold, the pool was cover, so we couldn’t use it. Breakfast was good and we paid 19 euros. Very near to the airport.

Driving up I was concerned because you travel through a very residential neighborhood that doesn’t look like it can support a hotel. But then you pull up to a gate and behind it is this fabulous boutique hotel. Maybe only 10 rooms but they are clean, modern and beautiful. It has a nice lounge area and the pool and hot tub are lovely. This was a 10/10 great find!
