I had a great experience overall, enjoying a fantastic central location that made exploring the area easy. The staff were truly helpful, making our stay comfortable and memorable. My only downside was a slight fishy smell coming from the restaurant, especially noticeable at night. But the value for money was excellent, and the breakfast options were plentiful and delicious.

I had a wonderful stay at this boutique hotel in Faro! The location is fantastic—just a short stroll to the marina and the charming old town. My room was lovely and spacious, and the staff were incredibly helpful throughout my visit. Dining at the hotel was a highlight, especially the seafood dinner which was delicious, but the dining options could have offered a bit more variety during breakfast. All in all, it was great value for money!

This boutique hotel provides an excellent base for exploring Faro, with an outstanding location near the marina and the charming old town. The staff went above and beyond in making our stay enjoyable, and the cleanliness of the hotel was impressive. However, some noise from the street was a bit disruptive during the night, and the room, while modern, was on the compact side.
