Situated just next to the coastal footpath, high above the beaches, the property is close enough (4-5 minutes) to the Old Town and the tunnel to the beach (3 minutes) to make it a great base. However, it is still far enough away from the bars and restaurants to ensure you are not disturbed - it is not on a route used by people heading in and out of town and as such, you can expect peace and quiet in the evenings. The property has 2 large bedrooms with lots of wardrobe space, an open plan living / dining / kitchen area and then some steps up to the private sunny roof terrace, with its day long sunshine and sea views. Sun loungers, umbrellas all supplied. The bathroom has a good shower and is very clean. Unlike at many villas, all the extras you sometimes have to go and buy (toilet paper, soap, shampoo etc.) were there in abundance. Even sun cream. That was appreciated. The same can be said for the kitchen - rather than the usual empty cupboards, these were full of all sorts of things that you may need, from teas, coffee, sugar, herbs, cooking oil and lots more. There was plenty of cutlery, plates, cups, glasses, a large fridge and an excellent (and very clean) cooker. Even a coffee making machine and juicer. Rare to see in these properties. Within 2 minutes walk, there is a supermarket which stocks everything you are likely to need, no need for Lidl or Aldi which are a mile away. Very good, fast WiFi and a massive television. No parking nearby, so maybe not ideal if you have a car. Taxi from Faro is about 40Euro each way and can drop you off 30m from the door. Also, bear in mind this property is quite high above the old town and beach so be prepared to climb lots of steps to get home. Filomena was very professional and helpful from the first contact - she has a gem of a holiday home, we shall be back!
