Situated 300 m from Faro Marina, Casa da Madalena Backpackers backpackers features a rooftop terrace with views over the colourful marina and the historical rooftops and a 24-hour front desk reception for your convenience. The property also offers a luggage storage space.

The friendliest, coziest and most chill hostel I ever stayed at. A beautiful, home-like atmosphere with a delicious dinner on the first night of my stay, staff was super welcoming and a nice group of guests made my stay in Faro special. Hostel is clean, has the needed amenities, delicious pancakes for breakfast, bike rental option, a nice rooftop area with hammocks and other cool details. Loved this place!

This is not the typical hostel with bunkbeds. I almost had the feeling I was staying in my bed at home. The room was spacious, the beds comfortable and the bed sheets smelt well. But my stay would not have been the same if Miguel, the receptionist, would not have been there. He is very friendly and welcomed me warmly every time. Thank you, Miguel!

Conveniently situated in Faro, A Casa do Tenente provides air-conditioned rooms, a terrace and free WiFi. The property is set 25 km from Vilamoura Marina, 28 km from Island of Tavira and 42 km from Algarve Shopping Center. The property is non-smoking and is located 11 km from Church of São Lourenço.

Each room comes with a private bathroom and a shower, and certain rooms at the hostel have a balcony. At A Casa do Tenente all rooms are fitted with bed linen and towels.

This was my favourite place to stay during our 2 week trip to the Algarves. The host was perfect. I accidentally left my hat there and he made sure I got it back. The place itself is absolutely charming and different from any place I had stayed in before. It has both a rich historical vibe but with modern amenities about it that is difficult to describe. I loved the old piano room with the high painted ceilings. I loved the kitchen set up , it had available beer and coffee to purchase! I loved our room which was perfectly set up with high ceilings and windows and decorated simply and practically and very clean. The beds were very comfy. I loved the shared terrace. I wish we could have stayed longer in this great place. It was easy to find and use the codes to get in, and just steps from the front door is a neat artsy store, a variety store and restaurants. Its on a street you cannot drive so parking is to be found a bit further away. I LOVED this place.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Casa da Madalena is in a great location, especially for the airport to hostel bus, no. 16, as well as the boats to the islands and old town. Very friendly and helpful staff who named a few local authentic restaurants to eat very good food. Safe and relaxed atmosphere and easy to chat to other travellers. Pancakes great of course, and a nice way to meet everyone and have small talk or make plans for the day.

    Great location & always a great atmosphere at the hostel from the guests & volunteers. Amazing views too over the lagoon & 2mins walk from the beach/ocean. Also a great cheap cafe Zee-Za close by & only a short walk for various beach bars & surfing club. Can get to Faro centre by either bus or boat ride! Also a 10min bus ride to Faro Airport.
