Awesome stay! The rooms are small, but comfortable. The staff at breakfast were always friendly, a little tip if you like sauce … bring your own! The breakfast is delicious but there’s no hot sauce or ketchup. Would love to go back!

What a great place. A 3 minute walk from the FlixBus stop and 5 minutes to the Old Town. We stayed here for 4 nights and couldn’t have been happier with everything. The staff is sweet helpful - providing directions, recommendations and much needed assistance with our future plans. We were Able to use the kitchen / terrace to eat dinner and relax. My only comment is that the toiletries need updating. Shampoo packages should be replaced with wall dispenser as they were impossible to open and not environmental. Otherwise perfection!

Perfect location. Unfortunately, the room smelled so strongly of mildew and mold that I had an asthma attack and had to leave within 1 hour of checking in. The reception was completely unhelpful and said I was not entitled to any refund after pre-paying for three days. The receptionist even denied there was any mildew / mold and blamed me by saying I didn’t know what it was like living next to the ocean and that it is normal to have moisture in the room. (I am from Atlantic Canada, where I lived directly beside the ocean for many years, and never had to deal with this mold.) Expedia is working on this issue for me.

Absolutely adored our stay at the Sunlight House. The staff were friendly and helpful and Leonardo was very responsive pre-check in. The location is fabulous for the old town and the room was clean, spacious and homely. We will definitely be staying again in the future!

A great place to stay

Sunlight House is a gem of a find. an easy walk to the old town and main town centre with some great recommendations on their website. Our room was very quiet, clean and comfortable and we will certainly return next time we visit Faro.

Chambre triple ( Iris) charmante. Bonne literie. Au calme. Le petit déjeuner propose un choix entre sucré, salé ou végétarien. J’ai opté pour la formule sucrée: un morceau de pain aurait été appréciable.

Très bon séjour !

La chambre était parfaite ! L'accès idem avec un grand parking gratuit à côté et proche de la vielle ville et des restaurants. La déco de la chambre très belle, grande hauteur sous plafond, la salle de bain très bien aussi, avec tout ce qu’il faut ! Petit plus : la terrasse en roof top accessible à toute heure. Petit moins : l’isolation phonique de la porte de chambre pour les bruits du couloir. Mais dans l’ensemble merveilleux.

Aesthetically Charming!

This is a wonderful B&B! Aesthetically charming! Located centrally to downtown Faro, restaurants, beach ferries and excursions. The staff were helpful, attentive and very hospitable. The room was quaint and well kept. Breakfast on the rooftop was delicious and just add these beautiful flowers the garnish the plate.

Sunlight House se situe à deux pas du centre historique de Faro et dispose d’une terrasse fort agréable avec vue panoramique sur les toits où l’on peut prendre son petit-déjeuner dont je recommande le jus de fruits pressés délicieux. La literie était confortable, la chambre bien équipée ainsi que la salle de douche partagée et WC sur le palier maintenus propres. L’accueil était de qualité, la connexion internet fluide. Les options de restauration le matin pourraient incorporer un fruit et du pain quelque soit le menu.

It may be a common thing in hostels, but there was so much noise at night with guests coming home very late, very excited, shouting in the hallway... somehow there should be better insulation of the doors, and the common walls. Apart from that, all was very nice, rooftop terrace beautiful, breakfast amazing, staff very kind (reception and breakfast)!

This was a great place to stay for 1 night before heading back home from the Faro airport. The room and bathroom were both small but it was clean and comfortable. Our room had its own small terrace and there was a very nice rooftop terrace to enjoy the sunset. We left early so did not have breakfast but the breakfast room was very nice. This is well located at the old town and everything was within walking distance. There is free parking near the accommodation that was very busy but we found one of the few available spots. The Faro airport is about 15 minutes away. I would recommend Sunlight House.
