The Sea and the City

Featured in Elle Deco, Forbes, Monocle and Le Monde, this minimalist apartment is recognised for the unique architectural experience it offers guests. With such a bang-on location, a few minutes walk from Faro's marina, shops and eateries – it ensures a convenient stay too. From the private terrace, views of Faro and the rooftops below can be enjoyed in seclusion. In contrast, a communal terrace courtyard with outdoor seating presents a more sociable outdoor set-up. The 70s vibe of the interior design creates a stylish space to kick back after days and nights out exploring historic Faro. Plus, just footsteps away, you'll find the city's relaxed atmosphere, pedestrianised streets and plenty of dining options.

Home truths:
*Parking in Faro can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible or getting around on foot. If you're travelling by car to get here, however, there is a free parking option named "Parking Largo de São Francisco", a ten-minute walk away. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request them in advance. *Self-check-in is available here. *Please note the green garden space is shared with other guests of the building. *It's worth noting that this is a second floor walk-up apartment.
