Ideal location in Faro. The apartment was very cute and clean and accessible through pin code. The owner took time at check in to answer all my questions about Faro and was prepared with a lot of great recommendations for how to spend our days there. It's obvious they really care about their guest's experience.

Beautiful apartment! excellent location! would stay again and highly recommend! wish we were there longer!

Stephen United Kingdom

A beautiful apartment right in the city centre. It's very nicely decorated, and has everything you could need. The street is very lively, but the windows are well insulated and block out all the sounds. The roof terrace is a big plus. We celebrated our 1 year anniversary here and Dulce (the owner) brought us local pastries as a gift. Very attentive!

Evelien Netherlands

Everything about Main Street Apartments was great. The hosts and all the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. They also gave us valuable tips on what to see and eat in Faro. Their recommendations were spectacular. The location is also very central and very close to the old town. The rooms were also beautiful and tastefully decorated. We just felt very happy here!

Company info

Hello, Raspberry Cascade Lda is a small company dedicated to the exploration of local accommodation, through rehabilitated spaces in the center of Faro. Me Dulce, manager of the company and also your hostess loves to travel and receive at home. Together with my husband Nestor, we recovered the building, which was an old manor house on the most noble street in the city, Rua Santo António. Just 150 meters from the space we opened in September 2021, 7 Styles Apartments, with an excellent reputation and adoration from our dear guests, we decided to remodel and redecorate, Main Street Apartments, telling the story of our wonderful city of Faro through of the decoration of the apartments. We always seek to offer a differentiated service, always welcoming our guests personally and we are always available to help and advise on discovering the city and islands or choosing places where you can taste our wonderful cuisine. You will be very welcome!!!

Property info

Rebuilding an old manor house, in the heart of the city, located on the main shopping street, a pedestrian street with elegant Portuguese pavement and within walking distance of the main attractions, Raspberry Cascade has created a new space, Main Street Apartments. Showing a little bit of the city's history, each apartment has a decoration alluding to a certain historical period, whose names of the apartments themselves represent the name of the city in the different occupations since the 9th century a.c. Ossonoba --> Santa Maria --> Harun --> Faro Located 300 meters from Jardim Manuel Bivar, the place where everything happens overlooking the marina, the Ria Formosa, the sea, access to the old town, etc., the Main Street Apartments have an excellent terrace for sunbathing sun for all guests and access to free wifi. Two of the apartments overlook the main street and the other two have a cozy little patio. The building has electronic locks for opening with code or card. The apartment is located just 5-minute walk from the bus station and 10 minutes drive from Faro International Airport.

Neighborhood info

Faro is the regional capital of the Algarve. A favourite holiday destination, this cosmopolitan city lies alongside one of the most beautiful natural wonders of the region, the 60 km-long expanse of lagoons, natural dunes and stunning beaches of the Ria Formosa Nature Park. The beaches are many, ranging from the thriving resort of Ilha de Faro with its bars, restaurants and abundant amenities, to the seclusion of the miles of uninhabited sand dunes of Barreta island, lying between the ocean and one of the estuary’s lagoons. The city of Faro is a busy cosmopolitan center, offering plenty of entertainment and numerous shops and restaurants. The narrow little streets house many shops selling local handicraft and it is hard to resist the local sweets. Traditional fish restaurants provide the local shellfish specialities that often come straight from the Ria Formosa. The main advantage of a holiday in Faro is that it makes a great central base from which you can explore the Algarve. The charming Tavira is only a 40-minute train journey to the east, the exclusive Vilamoura is 30 minutes by bus to the west, or even Lagos at the very western edge of the Algarve is 1h30 by train.
