I had a late flight into Faro after traveling from Seattle and was exhausted. This place was a a lovely, quiet, friendly, beautiful place for me to catch up on my sleep. Great blackout curtains, nice sheets, big bathroom with lots of hot water. The free breakfast was nice (lots of tasty sweets to try) and it was great to sit outside on the terrace to eat with a cup of hot coffee. The team working there was all friendly, especially the front desk people and the restaurant manager. While I didn't use the pool, it looked wonderful. The old part of the building was palatial and grand. I recommend this place.
