Casa Apollo is a fabulous guesthouse. It is a real oasis of calm, surrounded by walls, where you can escape the hustle and bustle of the town. Breakfasts were just amazing, with so much fresh food and choice. The whole property was beautifully clean and tidy and the host was very friendly and helpful. We had some great chats with him. The location is just great for exploring Faro itself and is also within very easy walking distance of both the train and bus station, for venturing further afield.

The seats in the lounge area could have been a little comfier

Room and breakfast were excellent. Room was terrific and breakfast was wonderful. You had freshly squeezed orange juice along with eggs prepared how you like them. There was a great assortment of cheeses, meats, fruits, and cereals for breakfast as well. The hotel is also within walking distance of downtown. There are more than enough restaurants for dining. Luckily for us, we also happened to be there for the local fest, Festa da Ria Formosa. It was a great, festive atmosphere and the seafood was excellent (happens from late July until early August).

This is not a dislike but a recommendation. If you want to see or do things outside of Faro (i.e. Lisbon or Seville, Spain), I highly suggest renting a car. Not that expensive and most of the rental places have pickup and drop-off right at the airport. However, you can utilize the ferries to reach the beaches if that is all you want to do. My only downside is that finding parking around the guesthouse is a challenge.

The location was good in that it was within walking distance to the old town (was in the old town). it had a nice breakfast room and outdoor patio for eating breakfast. the breakfast was very nice and they would make you eggs to order if you wanted. They always had home baked coffee cake or other breakfast pastries.

They did not provide tissues (Kleenex) in the rooms and only one waste basket which was minorly inconvenient. We walked around the city a lot (didn't use taxi's or Ubers to get around and it was so hard to get back to the guest house because directions on our phone took us around and around so we got lost a lot. Our advice is just take a cab to save yourself time, frustration and steps!

Everything was excellent - from the spacious clean room to the relaxing garden and pool. Jean Paul and his staff were always on hand to help when needed. Tasty fresh breakfast on the terrace every morning with freshly cooked eggs. Perfect weeks stay, shopping streets, cafes and restaurants all within a short walk. Regular, cheap, ferry to a sandy beach and Jean Paul even supplies parasols for use.

Nothing. There is building work going on in the surrounding area but this didn't stop us enjoying the garden and pool everyday.

Well kept and beautifully designed. Felt very looked after and loved how there was always gentle music playing in the seating area. Pool was delightful and plenty of sun loungers to sit outside

Building work on neighbouring property was quite noisy (no fault of Casa Apollo). Was okay while in the room, but noisy by the pool. Having said that, we just listened to music with our headphones and that worked perfectly to block it out and relax

Very well located in Faro with very friendly staff/owners. Impressed by the cleanliness. Everything feels kind of reduced to the minimum, even the breakfast offer, but actually you don’t miss anything. Perfect for me, beceause it is my lifestyle anyway as it is the sustainable way…

It is not really a big issue, but the first breakfast slot is at 8.45 am, what is a little late for people, who are on their way… 7.30 would be perfect!

great location, close to the airport, the town, the beach. lots of guides on things to do locally. though we didn't do it, a trip was arranged for anyone who wanted to join for the day to go on a boat. breakfast was lovely, the pool and garden area were beautiful and a great place to relax with plenty of sun throughout the day. also there's a cat which was so sweet.

at no fault of the property at all, there were some building works taking place next door which was loud when trying to relax by the pool and also woke us up one morning.

A gorgeous spotlessly clean guesthouse with a lovely team and owner. Everything was just perfect. Breakfast on the beautiful relaxing patio area was lovely with a selection of ham and cheese - freshly home baked cakes and jams and eggs cooked to your liking. The team were so friendly and relaxed. Room was a good size, fresh bright, beautifully decorated and very comfortable and clean. A big plus was a top quality powerful hairdryer which I have never come across as they are usually useless in even the highest rated hotels! The garden is a pleasure to be in - so peaceful and relaxing and very convenient to have a bar for drinks and snacks. Would not hesitate to recommend and hopefully will return next year. Thank you Jean Paul and the team :)

Everything was perfect.

I stayed here with my sister and our stay was super cozy. We loved having breakfast in the patio surrounded by plants and with soft music in the background. When I told I was lactose-intolerant, the next day I was offered vegetal butter, very thoughtful. The swimming pool is cozy, our bedroom was super nice and superbly cleaned every morning.

We struggled a bit to find parking in the area, but after some roaming we always managed to find it 4-6 minutes away by foot.

Beautiful stylish little place in old town Faro. We had a lovely warm welcome from Chantalle who also provided the delicious breakfasts. The rooms are gorgeous, spacious & practical.

There is a LOT of building work around the area so the road is busy with trucks & even though we didn't use it because of the weather I can't imagine the pool area to be too relaxing. The garden however is beautiful, full of fruit trees & impressive plants.
