Straight from the Heart, indeed!
One of our favorite things about traveling is the people we meet, and Veronica and Bruno are no exception. Veronica greeted us with a big smile and a warm welcome, and throughout our stay let us know that she was available to help with anything we needed. Bruno and Veronica have remodeled a 200-year old city house into a modern home away from home for travelers.
The small house has 2 levels. The street level has a very well equipped kitchen with table and chairs, a small sitting area and a storage room. Up the original stone stairs are 2 bedrooms, 1 with a queen-size bed, the other with a single bed, a bathroom and a sitting area. Of special note is the larger-than-most shower compared to many in Europe! Both levels have air conditioning and windows that open.
We were able to do some cooking and laundry, and used the beach umbrella, towels and tote for our trips to the islands. There is even a luggage scale for those who have packed lots of gift purchases in their luggage.
The location is ideal; a couple of minutes from the Old City in one direction, and the wonderful pedestrian streets filled with shops and restaurants around the house. A short stroll through the Old City takes you to the waterfront of the Ria Formosa.
The graciousness of our hosts went above and beyond expectations. We were a bit sad to say goodbye; however, Veronica said to call her if we needed any assistance while in Lisboa! Thank you, Veronica and Bruno, for an enjoyable stay in Faro. And we loved meeting your beautiful baby!
