Quaint welcoming property providing a great Portugal vibe. The owner posted great instructions for check in and awesome directions. The only downside was the obviously distressed dog who barked at night.

The stay was a throw back to the 60s when I first traveled Europe. It’s a family run business for generations. They were extremely warm and accommodating. We needed to take the train early the next morning, and the station was within walking distance. Breakfast is generous. I didn’t even mind having to share a bathroom, as all guests were seasoned travelers and respectful. Charming

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.

Disliked: Staff & service
The accommodation was good value and not too far from the centre of Faro. Breakfast was a nice touch and even as vegans there was bread, jams, fruit, juice and coffee available.. We had not expected a shared bathroom as the listing on Expedia only specified this in Portuguese and lists “rainfall showerhead” as an amenity for the room in English - this is misleading and should be changed. We had multiple messages from the hotel asking us to reach out if we needed to before and during our stay..This initially seemed really friendly, but I received no reply after sending three communications via email and Expedia asking whether we could leave luggage for a few hours when checking out. We didn’t see anyone else to ask until we were actually leaving. Overall this is a decent place which offers good value for money, but communications were not great and it is somewhat misrepresented on Expedia.

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.

We booked the last room expecting shared bathrooms and ended up with a large suite with a private bathroom. Not much interaction with staff, but the were friendly, it’s a little far from old town, (15 minute walk) but was quite charming. Located in a residential area. Breakfast was bread, cereal, nada, fruit. The rooms were charming and clean.

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.

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.

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!

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.
