Mercedes Country House

"We had a wonderful stay at Mercedes Country House. We spent 7 nights here during our visit to Algarve and it was exactly the peaceful retreat we needed. This place is tucked away in a town about 20 min north of Faro airport. The area is conveniently located to be able to access many interesting areas in Algarve within 1 hour. The staff are kind and attentive, the grounds are beautiful, and the Thai restaurant on site was top notch- we ate there every night that it was open. We also signed up for a Thai cooking class with the chef and learned to make some delicious dishes. Stay here if you’re looking for a peaceful oasis where you can get some restorative rest and eat delicious food, while still being located a short drive from the beaches and the region’s many cultural offerings."

Cardeal Suites & Apartments

"The apartment is easy to find, the environment is quite good, the room is large enough, the facilities are complete, the sanitary conditions are very good, and glass bottles of water and fruits are provided. Overall very satisfied. The only slightly inconvenient thing is that we need to call the store in advance to get the password to enter the apartment and room. Maybe it's because we arrived a little late."

Luxury Guest House Opus One

"★☆☆☆☆ – An Absolute Joke of a “Luxury” Guesthouse If you value your money, sanity, and basic respect, do NOT stay at Opus One Guesthouse in Faro. Our experience was so appalling that I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. First off, the way we were treated when we dared to raise an issue was nothing short of disgusting. A small matter (which wasn’t even our fault) went from calm conversation to the staff turning into the rudest, most disrespectful people I’ve ever encountered in hospitality. Their sudden change in tone was jaw-dropping – one minute friendly, the next minute nasty and condescending. They tried to slap us with hidden charges for the most ridiculous things – tea bags, coffee, and even toothpaste. Yes, toothpaste. As if that wasn’t laughable enough, they attempted to charge us for a bedsheet with a “burn hole” they never once mentioned during our entire stay – only dropping this little surprise on us at the very last minute when we were checking out. The “queen bed” they proudly advertised? Absolute nonsense. It was literally two separate beds shoved together, leaving a lovely gap right down the middle. Comfort? Forget it. The coffee machine in our room was useless, unless you enjoy appliances that don’t work without fuss. And as for the room itself, I guess “luxury” now means holes in the walls from old power sockets that they’ve half-heartedly covered up. This place has the audacity to market itself as a luxury guesthouse, but the reality is an overpriced, poorly managed, run-down property with staff who clearly believe rudeness is part of the décor. Avoid this place at all costs – there are far better places in Faro that actually deserve your money and won’t treat you like an inconvenience."
