Really spacious place in the center of Faro
Really spacious place in the center of Faro, right next to the harbour. Host gave a lot of information and provided useful things such as beach towels and a sunshade. Easy check-in and check-out. Only the AC was noisy, apart from that very nice place to stay, even for more than 2 people!

Joao is a very friendly and accommodating host
Joao is a very friendly and accommodating host, he gave us clear instructions on how to find the place and many helpful information about the area. We only stayed for one night, we are glad we found this place. It located right in the city centre , the access from the backyard leading directly to the old wall, and the view over there is amazing. The room was clean, shower was good and the bed was very comfortable. High recommended.

Joao made us feel really welcome.
Joao made us feel really welcome. There was a fiesta on in the square and Joao secured us free entry and drinks. The location is great, slap in the middle of the old town with a cracking restaurant just around the corner.

Joao was amazing!
Joao was amazing! The location is close to museums, restaurants and shopping. There is a taxi boat to the beach within walking distance. The property is part of the historic wall for the old city which has wonderful views when you go up onto the wall. There is a rooftop bar with music open on weekends but it wasn’t bad for us, just know it is there. Homey accommodations but has everything you need for a pleasant stay. Thank you, Joao!
