Great apartment to visit Algarve

We stayed here 4 days and this was a great apartment to use as a base to explore Algarve. It was centrally located in Faro, walking distance from everything. The condo is as you see it in the pictures, clean and modern. The owner is easy to communicate with and check in was flawless. Would certainly come back if in the area.

Wow this flat is SUPER nice! When we checked in, we thought the flat was even nicer than the photos looked. Modern, spacious, very clean, very nice amenities. Just gorgeous. The host was nice and communicative with me the whole time. The location is excellent, you are right in Faro's old town and its close to everything while still feeling private and quiet. We even appreciated some of the more modern luxuries the flat offered - good AC, new bathroom with a big shower, a TV with all the streaming services!! My one regret was that I didnt book us to stay longer, i really loved it. Excellent stay, would absolutely come stay here again.

Top location and facilities

A. Wonderfully spacious apartment and balcony. Excellent facilities throughout. The kitchen and bathrooms were well equipped and the bedrooms had lots of storage space. Falisbela was very helpful and an absolute asset to the arrival and departure process.

Great stay in Faro

The apartment was exactly as described, with the photos being completely accurate. Located in the heart of Faro, it was close to everything we needed, and having parking was a huge plus. The spacious patio was a great spot to unwind and relax after a busy day. Communication was seamless and efficient throughout our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

Upscale Flat

This is a wonderful property. We were here for a month. Plenty of space. Very quiet at night. Put down the storm shutter in the bedroom and be prepared for for a 8 to 10 hour sleep. There were plenty of supplies for our long stay. We highly recommend this apartment.

Great location

Right in the middle of the action but removed enough to be restful and quiet. The place is brand new and amazingly well decorated and furnished. Viewing the entrance from the street you would have no idea what lies behind the door. Great parking and modern facilities in the middle of old town.

Hidden gem in the heart Faro with Parking.

Great apartment with (2) comfortable bedrooms but only (1) bathroom; and large patio with ample seating and privacy with panoramic city views. The host provides ample supplies for cooking and laundry and there are sufficient towels and comfortable bedding. All in all we would recommend this property and would return. The best was the hidden courtyard with parking- a rare commodity in the Old City. Just be prepared to carry your bags to the 3rd floor, there is no elevator.

A fabulous place in Faro

What a fantastic property to enjoy and explore Faro. First, shout out to Ivan our great host. Smooth checkin and communication throughout our stay. Thank you so much. The place is simply beautiful. Modern throughout. Nice open kitchen, living, and dinning area to eat, chill, and socialize. The balcony is massive and perfect for sunset relaxation. The bedrooms and washroom are comfortable and well equipped. Location is just perfect. The protected parking spot was a huge bonus. I can go on, but basically if this place fits your group size, you cannot do better. Thanks again Ivan!!

Fantastic, modern apartment in the center of Faro

This apartment is truly a hidden gem. Super well situated in the center of Faro with easy access to all points of interest. Everything is walkable. But the true winner is the apartment itself. Hidden in the center of everything - it is a super, sleek, modern build you would never know is there. The entrance to the parking and center courtyard are hidden behind heavy doors and gates. The apartment is large with two good sized bedrooms and a very large open concept kitchen, living and dining area. In addition there is a huge terrace with a full dining set and comfy outdoor lounge area. The bathroom is large and has a wonderful shower! In addition, the apartment is immaculate with comfy beds (although I suggest more pillows on the beds if you have couples staying - it was just me and my friend each in a bed). There is also a parking space with the apartment - amazingly rare in Portugal. We ended up not needing it, but it’s easy access in the central courtyard. You are in the center of town so you may hear some music from neighboring bars at night - but the whole apartment has automatic blackout/hurricane shutters that you can lower and have a vert peaceful night sleep. Ivan is super easy to reach and was very helpful and accommodating. He was prompt in responding and gave clear communication. It is all self check in and very simple. If you are planning a trip to Faro or need a home base to stay while in the Algarve - this place is a must! Happy travels.
