Relevant Information about our Traditional House in Faro

Please, read carefully the following notes as they contain some important information regarding your rental home:

  • If you smoke, you can have your cigarette in inner yard but please keep the door to the house closed while you puff your cigarette. If you are renting without kitchen you won’t have access to this area. In that case please just go out to have your cigarette.
  • If you don’t mind, try to throw your used toilette paper into the bin and not into the toilette itself. If this sounds strange, then at least use small portions of toilette paper, flush, and if necessary use some more.
  • Our floor made of wooden and old historical tiles. Because of this we consider this house a no-shoes space. Please take your shoes off upon entering the house in order to preserve the floor.

For your eyes only...

What follows are ideas and suggestions we keep to ourselves… and our guests. Places that we like as they are, relatively unaffected by mass tourism. Weird as it sounds, we would kindly ask you not to publish anything about these places, not in Facebook, not in Trip Advisor not in anyway which may bring more people to the spots.

Faisca & Henriques

OK, this a secret bakery. I kid you not, as secret as a bakery can be. I mean, if you would find yourself walking...

Lab Terrace

Lab Terrace is our favorite venue for a relaxing end of afternoon and a nice sunset. It's a quiet place across the marina, five minutes walking from us.
