"Great place to stay, I highly recommend it. Very clean, beautifully decorated, modern shared kitchen, large common area and a beautiful outdoor patio with large painted mural. And the room itself was top notch. Good location, within walking distance to shops, waterfront, restaurants, sights, etc. "
"Facilities, location and all meals were excellent. Optional breakfast was great value. And the couple of evening meals we had were terrific - smallish menu but great options. Wifi great. Will be back"

Lovely old quarter with narrow cobbled street lined with churches, museums, bars and cafes. Nice harbour front too. All restaurants seemed reasonable value and some of the artisan and food shops looked colourful & authentic.

The area around the marina is in the old part of the city, on the flight path to the busy airport, plus the city does not sleep until gone 2am. There many old buildings, the architecture is very interesting with a fort.

The harbour is the focal point for visitors. Pleasant to stroll around. Plenty of places to eat and drink. The beach is separated from the town by a lagoon. Lots of boat trips available.

Hoping Faro is on an up-tick. There's plenty of great food to be found at reasonable prices. And construction and rehab is omnipresent. However, graffiti is evident in epic proportions - distracting from an otherwise lovely small ancient city.

There were areas near the train station that felt a bit 'shady'. We were approached by a quite aggressive guy demanding money but luckily I was able to deal with him. I'd suggest ditching your luggage asap on arrival so as to be less noticeable.
