Casa das Andorinhas
Typical house in the historical center of Faro, with all the necessary facilities for a short break with friends or family holidays. It has a fully equipped utensils for babies and children (when requested) and two bicycles to enjoy the city.
I am adventurous and outgoing and I value my family very much! I like to read and to go to the movies. For professional reasons, I have traveled all four corners of the world and live most of the time outside the country but I will leave my guests well delivered to the sympathy and kindness of my parents.
Independent house situated in a very quiet street in the historical area of ​​the city. It has the main services (tourist office,shops, markets, restaurants, pharmacies, police) just a short walk away as well as major historical attractions (Wall, Church of the Sé, Chapel of Bones) and the riverside region (dock and Ria Formosa). In the riverside area, there are regular boats for islands of Faro, Farol and Armona and offer of boat trips varied by the ria Formosa. For lovers of nightlife, there are several nightclubs near bars in the city center situated 10 minutes away (walking). Owner's suggestions: Enjoy the street market with fresh fruits and vegetables from local farmers every Sunday morning, in Largo do Carmo (10 minutes walk). Eat a regional sweet from the region that has just finished making the cakes at Rua Brites de Almeida, number 27 (2 minutes walk). Enjoy the sunset on the Ria Formosa, the taste of a cocktail, on the terrace of the O Castelo bar, located in the old town (10 minutes walk).
