Lock in a great price for Sunlight House – rated 8.6 by recent guests!

to get started.

Location, staff, and rooftop terrace were all excellent. Parking lot is close and convenient. Breakfast is good. Excellent value

Scott, United States of America

It was near the city.....very clean.....and there was the chance to warmen up the room.

Renate, Germany

The Sunlight House meets our expectation. This airbnb has about a dozen rooms with private or shared bathrooms. Each room has its own decor, and it is spacious and clean. The breakfast was pretty good. We walked almost everywhere and took Uber few times back to the airbnb or from the bus station to the hotel for less than 4 Euros per trip. The front desk staff was very helpful and friendly.

Tu, United States of America

Nice atmosphere, good breakfast, location. Friendly guys - the hosts.

Barbara, Poland

Great, friendly staff - clean though minimal room BUT thr 'roof terrace' is the best I've stayed at and the breakfast was 'over the top'!!!

Richard, United States of America

The staffs are very friendly. And the breakfast in the terrace was good. As we needed to catch early flight, they prepare the breakfast for us

Min-tsen, Taiwan

Sunlight has a great location within easy walking distance to variety of restaurants/bars and some nice shopping! Lovely helpful staff to organise trips etc. if required.

“A friendly, comfortable stay in Faro”
- • Leisure trip

- • Double Room with Private Bathroom
- • Stayed 5 nights
The Diana room is very small, a little uncomfortable for a 5-night stay. And the shower is tiny.
We were in the Diana Room (a double). It was quiet and private with a comfortable bed. Fresh towels every day and good service generally. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet which you could eat on the rooftop deck. Such a pleasure. Location is perfect, just outside the walls of the old town. A 5 minute walk to almost every desirable site and amenity. Very good value.

We booked it last minute to have a stay before flying out of Faro. The staff was so nice to prep us the breakfast to take away since we had to leave early :) Also the room had a heater which was the best ever in the colder month of November.

I could not reach the bathroom window to close it and it was quite cold. Having a lamp that is a bit dimmer would be a plus :)
The staff were very nice and helpful. The bedroom was cozy, clean and comfortable. Liked having a kettle in the room to have a cup of tea or coffee. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely book again when back in Faro.
