Located in Portugal's beautiful Faro – known for its sparkling marina and colourful architecture – this modern apartment welcomes you to unwind and experience the city in style. Recently renovated, you’ll immediately notice the high-end touch that’s been given to this cosy space – from the muted tones, rattan chairs, macrame adornments and modular sofa. Sit down in the stylish dining area with your morning coffee as you map out plans, or betters still, take your cappuccino out to the private terrace for a breathe of fresh air to begin your day. When you're not soaking up the plush atmosphere of your terrace, head down to the communal pool for a refreshing swim in the sunshine. And, when it's time to head out, you really couldn't be better placed for exploring the city. You’re just short walk from the Igreja do Carmo, with the beautiful Igreja de Santa Maria just a few steps further on. Alternatively, make a beeline for the Faro Marina, where ferries will whisk you off to the white sands of Praia de Faro for relaxing afternoons spent sunbathing and swimming along the coast.
