Are you kidding?? What’s not to like, the property is at a perfect location, like NEW, so very clean and updated. The owner was one of the nicest owners you may ever come across. She explained what when where and how, so helpful (our first time in Faro) She will mention the market (a MUST) to shop for local FRESH foods and recommend a few local restaurants.

Hotel is great place to stay if you’re visiting Averio. Only two miles from Costa Nova. Quiet beach town with studio rooms. Only a few feet from beautiful beaches and cafes. Breakfast had a good variety and to top it off the view of lighthouse was spectacular.
