The neighbourhood
This property is located in Faro’s Penha district, a peaceful and central neighbourhood just minutes from the city’s cultural heart. Faro is the charming capital of the Algarve, known for its historic old town, vibrant marina, and authentic Portuguese atmosphere. With its mix of cobbled streets, cafés, and local life, Faro offers a more relaxed and genuine experience than the region’s more touristy spots. Whether you're here for the university, the coast, or the culture, Penha is the perfect base to explore it all. For a true taste of local cuisine, head to Tasca do Ricky or Chefe Branco, both known for their traditional Algarvian dishes. Don’t miss the seafood — Faro is right by the Ria Formosa, so it doesn’t get any fresher than this! Places to visit nearby: -Old Town (Cidade Velha) and Arco da Vila -Ria Formosa Natural Park -Faro Marina and the riverside promenade -Igreja do Carmo (with the iconic Bone Chapel) -Forum Algarve Shopping Centre -Faro Municipal Market -Faro Island and its beach (by short drive or ferry) -Universidade do Algarve – Penha Campus (walking distance)
Getting around
Getting around is relatively easy to do on foot. To explore the nearby towns, hiring a rental car, or using an Uber, is a great way to go. It will allow you to access many remote beaches or traditional villages that have little or no public transport options.
