Faro Old Town
Whole beach to ourselves! The beach in Faro is often overlooked in favour of the other beaches along the Algarve, making it quiet and unspoilt. Close to the airport, it's definitely worth a visit!

Okay stay
"The hotel is very well placed, close to the shopping center and restaurants. The room was not too clean, view from the balcony was facing the marina. Unfortunately the street below is extremely busy and noisy. The floors could use some scrubbing as they were dirty. The breakfast was mediocre."

"The staff both at reception and the bar/restaurant are exceptional.

Easy to get to by Uber or ferry, there is also a bus but the construction on the bridge means the stop is far away. For Uber, make sure ..."

I wish we had taken the "red umbrella tour" at the beginning of our week in Faro rather than on our last day. The guide was great and gave us a lot of tips about the area and we wished we had more time to explore. I guess we will need to return.

Nice place with lots of shops and eateries. Lots of twisty turn roads, but not too difficult to drive around.
