Vetted by our experts
A functional home in the centre of Faro, this apartment is a suitable base for families who need a few home comforts while travelling. The balcony and French doors mean you get plenty of sunlight here, although there isn't much of a view. Inside, the interior is homely if unspectacular – but having two bathrooms is a blessing when you're getting ready in the morning, and the fully equipped kitchenette means you don't always need to eat out. That said, being in the centre of town here, you've got fantastic eateries just a few streets over.
We promise expert-vetted homes, total transparency and exceptional service.
