Great little guest house

Excellent value for money right in the middle of Faro. Self check-in was super easy and although it is a lively bar area it felt very safe and the windows kept the noise down brilliantly. The roof terrace is a lovey little spot for a morning coffee or a nightcap :)

Perfect location

I always seem to easily impressed but yet again I am. Last week I was in £200 per night London hotel....this guest house trumps it in every way. Check in was easy via email, location can't be better. Shared bathroom was spotlessly clean and should not put people off. Faro is fabulous for a short break, loved it.

Perfect location for people who want a great night out. Its basically one minute walk to the nearest bar. The room is clean and have a good size. Double room has toilet and shower. Theres a shared kitchen but also coffee maker in the room. Most importantly the owner Silvia is a very friendly and approachable woman.

I liked the original features off the structure off the property. The guest house had too much personal items within the property...eg old hats on the wall...loads off kichens essentials...like plates ...bowls ....cups and plates.old musky wardrobes and furnitures.....kinda like museum furniture Felt like someone lent us their twin room for the night
