The interiors of this contemporary Faro apartment may feel a little stark for some, but if you're looking for a fuss-free, practical home, you can't go wrong here. Expect separate bathrooms with every bedroom and a wraparound balcony to soak up the morning rays and palm-tree-strewn skies. While this apartment is quietly removed from Faro's centre, travelling around is a breeze, and there’s free street parking outside. Head for the vast sandy shores of Barrinha Beach or the Old Quarter, which is dotted with cafes – it's all just a short drive away.
