You're a short walk from the city's top cultural attractions and beautiful architecture, including the Igreja do Carmo and the Igreja de Santa Maria, while the Faro Marina offers ferries taking you to Praia de Faro for sunny afternoons spent relaxing at the beach. A range of fantastic restaurants and boutique shops are also right on your doorstep, meaning you really will be spoilt for choice when deciding how best to fill your days here.
