Featured in Elle Deco, Forbes, Monocle and Le Monde, this minimalist apartment is recognised for the unique architectural experience it offers guests. With such a bang-on location, a few minutes walk from Faro's marina, shops and eateries – it ensures a convenient stay too. From the private terrace, views of Faro and the rooftops below can be enjoyed in seclusion. In contrast, a communal terrace courtyard with outdoor seating presents a more sociable outdoor set-up. The 70s vibe of the interior design creates a stylish space to kick back after days and nights out exploring historic Faro. Plus, just footsteps away, you'll find the city's relaxed atmosphere, pedestrianised streets and plenty of dining options.
