Very beautiful hotel with an even more beautiful interior, however the rooms, while spacious and comfortable don’t really reflect this. It would be nice if the rooms had a similar look to rest of the hotel.
Very good food and even better service. The receptionist was nice enough not to charge me for things I took for the minibar.
Decent Stay, but Could Be Better for a 4-Star Hotel
The Good:
• Location: The hotel is in a great spot—just an 8-minute walk from train Station and only 10 minutes by taxi to the airport, making it very convenient for travelers.
• Breakfast: One of the best parts of our stay! A great selection of food, and the addition of a piano playing in the background made for a lovely atmosphere.
The Not-So-Good:
• Bathroom Issues: Unfortunately, the bathroom had a bad smell, which we believe was caused by water collecting under the floor for a long time. The shower design was also frustrating, as water would leak out onto the bathroom and toilet floors. Additionally, the ventilation fan didn’t seem to work well, which made the smell worse.
• Construction Noise: This was a major issue. There was loud construction work from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., making it nearly impossible to relax in the hotel during the day.
• The overall entrance to the hotel didn’t feel like a typical hotel—it was busy and had a commercial feel, more like entering a shop or mall.
We’d rate it 3/5. While the location and breakfast were great, the bathroom issues, construction noise, made it feel below 4-star standards. With better maintenance and some upgrades, this hotel could be much better!
Beautiful hotel in an excellent location on the waterfront, within easy walking distance of many local shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants, historical sites like the old town, and the local bus station which is handy for a bus to the airport. The hotel is very clean and well-presented, and has a very nice restaurant and rooftop bar. The rooms are large with a luxurious feel, however a gap under the door let in a significant amount of light and noise from the corridor, although the corridor and other areas of the hotel were generally very quiet. The hotel restaurant is good, however doesn't really have much for vegetarians, and nothing for vegans, and is generally limited in choice, which is disappointing as the dining room is very nice, and the staff are excellent. The restaurant is also more expensive than many of the surrounding restaurants which offer broader menus and more choice for those with dietary restrictions, so was not very appealing. In all, I found this hotel to be very pleasant, and good value for money, with excellent, friendly staff who accommodated me well with their perfect English.
Een zeventje. Niet grote, maar prettige kamer met fijn bed. Geen uitleg over het koffieapparaat. Redelijk gehorig, zowel van gang als van andere kamers. Receptie niet echt vriendelijk of efficiënt en fout in hun voordeel stadsbelasting. Aangename buurt met goede en goedkope restaurants. Wel iets uit het centrum (bus, trein)
Staff was very helpful, room was nice and clean, the pool is small but very nice! 4min car from the aeroport, and has a great restaurant with tipical delicious frango meals, and other plates also!
The hotel was very clean, staff very welcoming and allowed us to check in way before time. It’s close to the airport as well as a big shopping centre so everything is in close proximity. The staff cleaned my room every day I was there and we had light and food when the whole Portugal had power outage. Will definitely recommend
Social events were brilliant! Staff very friendly and the hostel had a very social atmosphere. I liked that the rooms had privacy curtains. Everything was clean. Good sized rooms and comfortable beds.
It was a bit noisy at night but from people outside - not the fault of the hostel. It was also a bit hot in the room but reception offered to help with any AC issues.

파로의 황금빛 노을을 따라서
비 갠 뒤, 유난히 맑고 구름 한 점 없는 하늘 아래, 포르투갈 파로(Faro)의 선착장은 평온한 오후의 빛에 잠겨 있었다
황금빛으로 물드는 저녁노을을 쫓아, 나는 작은 요트에 몸을 싣고 잔잔한 수면 위를 미끄러져 나갔다
선착장을 벗어나며 선착장의 붐비던 공간을 뒤로하고, 보트는 서서히 파로의 넓은 물길로 나아갔다
엔진 소리는 이내 부드러운 물결 소리로 바뀌었고, 주변 풍경은 점차 고요한 실루엣으로 변해갔다
지평선은 이미 깊은 오렌지와 붉은색의 향연을 펼치고 있었다
비개인 뒤의 깨끗한 대기는 노을빛을 더욱 선명하고 강렬하게 만들었고, 마치 온 세상이 하나의 황금빛 그림이 된 듯했다
어느 정도 항해했을까 태양은 이제 수평선에 거의 닿을 듯 내려앉아 있었다 나는 잠시 멈추어 그 장엄한 순간을 맞이하기로 했다
노을을 마주하고 정박한 모터보트는 빛줄기 속에 강렬한 실루엣으로 남았다
주변에는 우리 요트말고도 몇몇 요트들이 노을을 감상하고 있었다
돛대가 높이 솟은 요트는 그 자체로 한 폭의 우아한 그림이었다
황금빛 노을과 옅은 푸른빛이 감도는 하늘의 대비는 고요함 속의 역동성을 보여주었다
해는 더욱 낮아져 요트의 돛대와 선체 뒤로 숨겨졌다
태양이 만들어내는 강렬한 후광은 요트의 실루엣을 더욱 깊고 신비롭게 만들었다
구름 한 점 없다는 사실이 믿기지 않을 정도로, 하늘은 완벽한 색의 그라데이션을 보여주었다
내가 지나온 자리에는 물살의 흔적이 길게 남았다
선체의 하얀 물거품은 황금빛 물 위에서 잠시 반짝이다가 이내 잔잔한 물결 속으로 스며들었다
노을의 빛깔이 수면에 그대로 투영되어, 온 세상이 황홀한 오렌지색 물감으로 칠해진 듯했다
해가 지평선에 완전히 닿기 직전, 하늘은 마지막으로 가장 강렬한 붉은빛을 토해냈다
이 순간의 고요함과 웅장함은 숨을 멎게 했다
나는 문득, 비가 갠 뒤의 대기가 이렇게 맑을 수 있다는 것에 감사했다
노을이 완전히 사라지고 어둠이 내리기 시작하자, 나는 다른 요트들이 모여 있는 정박지로 향했다
여러 척의 요트가 밤을 맞이할 준비를 하며 물 위에 나란히 떠 있었다
하루의 항해를 마치고 고요히 쉬고 있는 그들의 모습은 평화로움 그 자체였다
마지막으로 보트에 비추는 잔광을 바라보며, 파로에서의 황금빛 노을 추적은 마무리되었다
자연이 선사한 완벽한 색채의 향연, 그리고 구름 한 점 없는 맑은 하늘 덕분에 더욱 소중했던 순간이었다.

"FARO" Sign
ポルトガル南部の海辺の街、ファロは、リラックスした休暇を過ごすのに最適です。温かい日差しと青い海に加え、リスボンとは全く異なる南ヨーロッパの雰囲気を味わえます。ゆったりとしたペース、太陽の光、潮風、日の出と日の入り。地中海の気ままなスピリットに満ちたひとときを、心ゆくまでお楽しみください。今回の旅では、ファロを代表するランドマークの一つ、「FARO」サインに焦点を当てます。南ポルトガルを訪れるなら、ぜひ見ておきたいスポットです。
ファロ🌊文化、自然、建築が見事に融合!
リスボンから南へ向かうファロの海岸線は、まるで絵葉書のような美しさです。丹霞地形と海に囲まれたファロは、息を呑むほど美しい日の出が海と空を照らし、黄金色の夕日が街路を揺らめく様子など、自分のペースで散策したくなる街です。
🌟おすすめスポット – 「FARO」サイン
「FARO」サインは、ポルトガル、ファロ市、ドン・フランシスコ・ゴメス広場(住所:Praça Dom Francisco Gomes 5, 8000-168)にあります。24時間年中無休で営業しており、いつでも写真撮影に最適です。朝、昼、夕暮れ時と、時間帯によって異なる雰囲気を楽しめます。日中は太陽の光が差し込み、文字が青い空と白い雲を縁取ります。夜は、ランドマークがライトアップされ、穏やかな海風が独特の地中海の雰囲気を醸し出します。
おすすめは朝か夕暮れ時です。パノラマの海の景色を楽しめるだけでなく、ストリートパフォーマーや観光客の姿もよく見かけられ、ファロ独特のゆったりとしたライフスタイルと活気あふれる雰囲気が融合しています。
シンボルだけでなく、広場周辺の建築様式も見逃せません。ムデハル様式(アラブ様式)とポルトガル様式の影響が融合した建築様式です。色鮮やかな建物と数多くのカフェが立ち並ぶこの場所は、ゆったりとくつろぐのに最適な場所です。
🙌旅のヒント:
1. 広場周辺は週末は特に賑わうので、日焼け止めと帽子をお忘れなく!
2. 「FARO」の看板の隣にあるカフェでは、エスプレッソを飲みながら素晴らしい景色を楽しめます。地元産のエッグタルトはおすすめです。濃厚なポルトガル産卵の風味が絶妙な組み合わせです! 3. 日没時は海風が強くなることがあるので、薄手のジャケットがおすすめです。また、人混みを避けて写真を撮りたい場合は、午前7時から8時頃がおすすめです。
4. 広場周辺にはカモメが集まることが多いので、写真を撮る際は食べ物に気を付けましょう。
交通ガイド:ファロ駅から「FARO」の看板までは徒歩約10分です。リスボンからは直通列車で約2時間半かかります。駅を出てすぐの海岸沿いの道は、とても美しい景色が楽しめます。
おすすめグルメ:ドン・フランシスコ・ゴメス広場の近くには、地元のレストランやカフェがたくさんあります。「Padaria Central」(住所:R. Cmte. Francisco Manuel 35, 8000-250 Faro)はおすすめです。パンとペストリーが絶品です。

ファロでの一日
11時すぎにファロ到着。まずは腹ごしらえに、中央市場(Mercado Municipal)へ。
市場内にあるローカルレストランで、その日のおすすめ魚料理を注文。コミュニケーション不足で赤ワインが出てきたけど、最初に出てきたつきだしがどれも美味しくて、これだけでワインが進みそう。市場の活気と相まって、旅の始まりを感じさせてくれる時間でした。
特に目的を決めず、気の向くまま歩きながら、ふとローカルなカフェでエスプレッソを飲みたくなって、ふらっと入ったお店。なんと価格は€0.90!店内のテレビで流れるポルトガル語のニュースをぼんやり聞きながら、言葉はわからなくても不思議と居心地が良かった。この感覚が旅の醍醐味ですね。
海沿いを走る電車を見ながら🚃迷路のような道を歩くのが楽しく、どのコーナーも曲がるたびにワクワクして、あっちもこっちも行きたくなっちゃって迷子になりがち。コーヒー休憩を挟みつつ、街散策を楽しみました。
ファロでの食事はどのお店も美味しかった!
食事が出てくるまで少し時間がかかるので、店内が空いていても余裕を持って訪れるといいですよ⚠️
