Aesthetically Charming!

This is a wonderful B&B! Aesthetically charming! Located centrally to downtown Faro, restaurants, beach ferries and excursions. The staff were helpful, attentive and very hospitable. The room was quaint and well kept. Breakfast on the rooftop was delicious and just add these beautiful flowers the garnish the plate.

This was a great place to stay for 1 night before heading back home from the Faro airport. The room and bathroom were both small but it was clean and comfortable. Our room had its own small terrace and there was a very nice rooftop terrace to enjoy the sunset. We left early so did not have breakfast but the breakfast room was very nice. This is well located at the old town and everything was within walking distance. There is free parking near the accommodation that was very busy but we found one of the few available spots. The Faro airport is about 15 minutes away. I would recommend Sunlight House.

Sheryl

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Perfect location. Unfortunately, the room smelled so strongly of mildew and mold that I had an asthma attack and had to leave within 1 hour of checking in. The reception was completely unhelpful and said I was not entitled to any refund after pre-paying for three days. The receptionist even denied there was any mildew / mold and blamed me by saying I didn’t know what it was like living next to the ocean and that it is normal to have moisture in the room. (I am from Atlantic Canada, where I lived directly beside the ocean for many years, and never had to deal with this mold.) Expedia is working on this issue for me.

Petit hôtel bien situé près du vieux centre ville de Faro. Bon accueil par l'hôtel, avec bons conseils de restaurants près de l'hôtel. Chambre simple mais propre et fonctionnelle. Un peu bruyante (travaux à proximité) et couloir un peu bruyant.
