I had a late flight into Faro after traveling from Seattle and was exhausted. This place was a a lovely, quiet, friendly, beautiful place for me to catch up on my sleep. Great blackout curtains, nice sheets, big bathroom with lots of hot water. The free breakfast was nice (lots of tasty sweets to try) and it was great to sit outside on the terrace to eat with a cup of hot coffee. The team working there was all friendly, especially the front desk people and the restaurant manager. While I didn't use the pool, it looked wonderful. The old part of the building was palatial and grand. I recommend this place.
The property was original with renovated palace rooms and a very modern block for accommodation: it mixes well together. The staff are extremely attentive and helpful. The breakfast was very good. The hotel was well positioned in the centre of the village.
I came here for a relaxing long weekend and was not disappointed. It was my second stay, and the staff were helpful and friendly, the food was delicious. The hotel was nice and quiet and there was lots of space around the pool.
Great stay, very clean and welcoming. Great breakfast - parking very convenient. Quiet a little way out from the city but with a car great. Would certainly stay again.
Property was beautiful inside and out. One of the most unique hotels we have ever stayed in. Food was very good and breakfast was spectacular.

Fabulous old palace containing the bar, restaurant and lounge areas, whilst the rooms are in a modern new wing decorated with interesting modern art. Appreciated the tray of crackers, cheeses and cold cuts that were waiting for us in the room. Comfortable room, fantastic view. Good btreakfast and lovely helpful staff.
