Lovely hotel, a short Uber ride ( cost effective and efficient for parent and 2x children and very easy to arrange on the app as a car always near the area!)
Hotel had a nice traditional feel to it, lovely pool area, some painting and tidying up happening around the property but it was quiet and not imposing. No toilet seats on any of the down stairs toilets either but our room did, nice quiet room on the back of the hotel.
There was only one small shade canopy at the pool but think perhaps early season. Lovely pool and the 2 staff we met on our short trip were lovely and helpful, especially the wonderful Fernando. He made us feel very welcome, at ease and was very kind and friendly to us all. Absolutely delicious €6 breakfast including freshly baked bread and croissants, fresh pulped Algarve orange juice, perfect!
It was a super first holiday away for us post covid and a perfect location for exploring the local area from.
No noticeable easy shops without walking near the road but the hotel does have a few snacks and drinks to take out and is well stocked with ice creams, bar and restaurant.
Uber to Faro town, lovely small old town, lots of great restaurants. Ferry to Praia de Faro beach was a nice boat trip through the marshes (and back to town). Lovely life guarded swim beach with a few shops, cafes etc.
Super little spot, quiet location and we hope to go again!
