Your stay in Appartement entier, in one conversation
Charlize builds hotels, activities and dining around your wishes, dates and budget.
Faro is the capital of the Algarve region and a city that rewards visitors who look beyond the airport arrivals hall. The historic centre, enclosed by Moorish-era walls, sits just a short walk from the marina and the vast Ria Formosa lagoon nature park. Staying in a whole apartment here means you can shop at the covered Mercado Municipal, cook fresh seafood from the local fish stalls, and return each evening to a space that genuinely feels like a home base rather than a transit stop. The Baixa neighbourhood, where several of the listed properties are concentrated, is flat, walkable and well connected by bus to the airport (around 6 kilometres away) and the central train station, which offers direct regional services along the Algarve coast.
Prices for whole apartments in Faro generally reflect the quality of the building and the level of fit-out. The Palacete da Baixa properties offer multiple room categories within a restored period building, with nightly rates running from 242 EUR for standard rooms up to 264 EUR for superior options. Faro Modern by Homing and Casa Rizzo sit at the higher end of the range, from 308 EUR to 310 EUR per night, and are better suited to travellers who need two bedrooms or a more contemporary interior. All of these options place you within easy reach of the cathedral square, the pedestrianised shopping streets and the ferry jetties that connect to the Ria Formosa barrier islands.

Frequently asked questions
Where exactly is the Appartement entier area in Faro?+
The term refers to whole-apartment accommodation rather than a defined district. In practice, the listed properties are concentrated in the Baixa, the lower town area that stretches between the old city walls and the marina. This puts guests within a few minutes on foot of the main sights, restaurants and the waterfront promenade.
How do I get from Faro Airport to the Appartement entier properties in the city centre?+
Faro Airport is roughly 6 kilometres west of the city centre. The number 16 public bus connects the airport to the city bus terminal near the marina, and the journey takes around 15 to 20 minutes. Taxis and rideshare apps are also widely available and cost considerably less than in many other European capitals, making them a practical option if you are arriving with luggage.
Are whole apartments in Faro a good choice for families?+
Yes, particularly options like Casa Rizzo in Faro, which offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms at 310 EUR per night. Having a kitchen allows families to manage meal times flexibly, and the Baixa area is flat enough for pushchairs and young children. The Ria Formosa nature park, reachable by short ferry trips from the marina, is an excellent day out for all ages.
Is Faro worth visiting beyond the airport, and what is the atmosphere like?+
Faro is frequently overlooked because many Algarve visitors fly in and head straight to beach resorts, but the city itself has a genuine character. The walled old town contains a cathedral with panoramic rooftop views, small museums and quiet cobbled lanes. The Baixa has a relaxed, year-round local feel with independent cafes and traditional tascas alongside newer restaurants. It suits travellers who prefer a city with culture and daily life over a purely resort environment.
