My husband and I had a lovely week here. The property is well laid out, immaculately clean and very comfortable. The location is stunning. The waves were too strong for swimming on the first two days, but after that we enjoyed strolling from the gate straight onto the beach for regular dips. Praia de Faro is quiet in early October, so there's inevitably less choice of restaurants in the evening. The foot ferry across to Faro is great for a day's sightseeing. The nearest mini market covered all necessities. The noise from the airport was minimal, and there's no traffic noise - so you can hear the waves!

Amazing location and accommodation to relax

A wonderful place to escape and relax right on the beach! Fabulous host and accommodation which was very well equipped and comfortable. A little shop (limited opening) had everything we needed and there were plenty of great places to eat and drink. We will defo be going back 🙂

A stunning property, very clean with everything you could possibly need. Washing machine an added bonus. The views from both bedrooms and the bathroom are stunning, literally like looking at a picture. Very easy access to the beach. From the front and back of the property.Plenty of outdoor eating space undercover for relief from the sun at the front.It is a semi detached property so entrance gate to the property is shared and the front of the property is open plan not private. This was been used by Mylenes family for weekend breaks when we were there, lovely people and never bothered us other than to say hello and check everything was OK. Turning right from the property a couple of minutes walk you will find a shop, cafe & restaurant.Turn left from the property and a few minutes walk and you arrive at a central hub with cafes, a souvenir shop and bar, this is where the ferry point to faro is, 4.40 euro return. If you carry on walking along from here it brings you past another shop and to the main area near the road bridge with more cafes, restaurants and souvenir shops. Mylene was lovely and very accommodating, late check in and late check out, even coming back the next morning to explain everything after our late arrival after 11pm. We will definitely be coming back to this beautiful property.

The property was as advertsed, a nice two bedroom right on a beautiful beach with great sunsets. The ferry to Faro was a handy three minute walk away. It's a half hour sail with nice views. The host Mylene was very accessible and helpful. She went above and beyond what would be expected. All in all a great week. Would do it again if we get back to Portugal.

Perfect spot for a truly authentic beach holiday

From start to finish Mylene was the perfect host and deserves super host status. Communication was faultless. The apartment was exactly as described and we couldn’t have asked for better recommendations for eateries and places to visit. Everything Mylene recommended was spot on. She even arranged to have a pump for my paddleboard to save me taking one. Thanks so much for a truly fabulous experience, we will be back

Superb beach house

Wonderfully clean with fresh smelling linen , Mylene had truly thought of everything in the property , ensure to download Bolt so you can travel if run out of things to do in Faro depending how long you are there. We had few days of rain so we went out but you wouldn’t need to if sunny each day…

Just perfect!

The property has everything you could possibly need. Great to have shampoo, conditioner & body wash all supplied. Its proximity to the beach is fabulous and there’s plenty of outdoor space to relax & sunbathe. In the immediate area, it’s just a short walk one way for groceries, they stock a wide variety from bread, ham, cheese, meat, fish, vegetables to alcohol, tins & suncream. It’s an even shorter walk in the other direction to a variety of restaurants, all of which serve great food. We didn’t have a bad meal all week. There are more restaurants further away but still on Praia Do Faro, if you fancy a longer walk in the evening. It’s just a 10 minute taxi ride from the airport and we used the “Bolt” app to get our return taxi. We can very much see ourselves returning. Thanks Mylene 🤗

La casa es tal cual en las fotos . Muy bonita , acogedora y en la misma playa . Lo único a tener en cuenta , que se comparte el patio delantero con otra casa , tienen la misma entrada .Todo genial , volvería sin duda . El microondas calienta poco , nosotros apenas lo hemos usado porque al calentar poco , hemos calentado en sartén o cazo . Muy buena limpieza, y todo muy nuevo y bonito . No tiene aire acondicionado pero tampoco lo echas de menos , por la brisa del mar ,

Die Unterkunft ist ein echter Tipp - ideal für alle, die einfach nur einen Strandurlaub verbringen möchten. Der Strand ist ein Traum, und das direkt vor der Haustür. Die Bilder und die Beschreibung sind absolut korrekt. Die Küche ist mit Geschirr, Utensilien und Geräten perfekt ausgestattet. Die Gastgeberin ist äußerst freundlich und fragt immer wieder nach dem Befinden. Vielen Dank dafür. Auch erwähnenswert: nur wenige Schritte entfernt legt eine kleine Fähre ab, die einen direkt nach Faro bringt.Ich kann diese Unterkunft uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

Lieu idyllique directement sur la dune de Faro! Le sable et les couchés de soleil que demander de mieux pour un séjour agréable? Eh bien une hôte aimable et avenante, Mylene nous a reçu de façon courtoise et très amicale. Le logement est bien équipé avec ventilateurs pour les les nuits chaudes. Les essentiels sont présents avec un réfrigérateur de bon format pour notre famille de 4 adultes. Les chambres sont fonctionnelles et les lits confortables. Le gîte est fourni avec les serviettes de plage, parasol et deux chaises de plage. Un lave linge très pratique et un BBQ à briquette de charbon n’oublier pas l’allume feu . Le voisinage est très discret. Le lieu de vie est opposé à la plage, très agréable pour les repas que nous avons tous pris à l’extérieur sous le parasol. Bien que le logement soit sur la plage de Faro vous aurez facilement accès au service et épiceries de Faro. De plus pour visiter l’Algarve c’est parfait départ par l’autoroute et retour via la côte. Bref outre le stationnement qui est certain jour plus compliqué notre séjour à fut mémorable.

Uma semana maravilhosa na praia de Faro

Ficámos na casa da Mylene durante uma semana em maio, com quatro pessoas, e passámos óptimos momentos na praia de Faro. A casa é muito espaçosa, moderna e acolhedora. A cozinha está super equipada e o duche muito novo foi também um ponto alto. A Mylene foi muito simpática e prestável e esteve sempre disponível para esclarecer dúvidas. Muito obrigado mais uma vez do Viktor, da Antónia, da Helena e do Nils.
