“This hotel has a lot going for it, especially with its central location near Faro's old town and the natural beauty of Ria Formosa; the rooftop views and breakfast also stand out. Still, light sleepers should perhaps request a room away from the rooftop and party areas. Overall, though, it's a solid choice for experiencing Faro.”
