A great find right in the centre of Faro. Claudia is amazing, she sent me a WhatsApp before arrival with everything I needed. She was there when we arrived, showed us around and we even had biscuits and oranges left for us complimentary! Everything you need is there including dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, toilet rolls, towels and bedding. The apartment was spotlessly clean we could not fault our stay at all.

We stayed at this lovely apartment for three nights and everything was great. The bed linens were fresh and free of odors, the floor and countertops were clean. Bathroom was spotless and no previous guests' hair was found, extra towels and toilet paper were also available in case we need it. The AC was turned on before our arrival which was greatly appreciated considering the extreme heat outside, and there were even cookies and oranges on the table waiting for us. We had everything we needed. I can tell that Claudia (the owner of the hotel) is a very detail oriented person and she did everything she could to try to make her guests feel at home. I would definitely recommend this apartment/suite to everyone who is visiting Faro!

It was in a good location, so convenient to go back and rest, then enjoy the evening by the Marina. Visiting nearby cities via train was easy. Unit was very comfortable, full kitchen with more than enough utensils and dishes. It was definitely an upscale apartment. Walking distance to more than one grocery store, 2 churches, and downtown shops and restaurants. Claudia was very helpful and considerate. Ideal for seniors, slow paced life.

We were welcomed by the owner Claudia. She is terrific. She spent at least 20 minutes to guide us on things to do, restaurants and excursions in Faro. She also gave all the links for these suggestions.
The apartments are so nice and extremely clean. They are spacious and well equiped. We even had a welcome gift (almond cookies) and some oranges.
Claudia makes you feel like at home and part her family. Every day we saw her in the place and she always call us by our names.

We were beyond pleasantly surprised when we saw our room and all the accommodations provided for us...plus, complimentary water, cookies and a bowl of fresh oranges! Our hostess, Abigail, and her staff were beyond accommodating. We were walking distance to restaurants and shops and the bus/train depot. Plus, there was a washer and dryer on the premises which made it so convenient for us since we were traveling for a month and needed to wash our clothes every couple of days. The hotel we're staying in now doesn’t even come close to Coreal Suites. There was everything you needed in our room, our fully stocked kitchen utensils and dishes and a great shower! I want one in my home! When i return to Faro, this is the only place i will stay at. Thank you for the beautiful stay!

Room was a really good size. There is a little communal courtyard outside whereI you could sit and another communal area where there are books. I could not fault this place.

Very clean and spacious apartment

The apartment is exactly the same as described. The property management team maintains the apartments very well, all are very clean and im good conditions. The apartment is spacious, especially the living room and the bathroom.

During check-in, Claudia was so nice to provide many travelling information. She closely communicated with me before and during our stay.

The apartment is in a convenient location, just few minutes walks to the old town. There is a family resturant nearby named Taberna Zé-Zé and their cataplana tastes really good.

The Algarva is such a beautiful area of Portugal. Hope will visit Faro and stay at the Cardeal Suites again.

Our room was super comfortable and well set up for an extended stay. The inner courtyard was quiet and also a beautiful setup. Faro was one of our favourite places to visit and we will come back to the Algarve for a longer stay next time. There are many restaurants and a pedestrian only commercial area within 10 minute walk.The area around the hotel is undergoing a rebuild and was safe and quiet after dark when we went out for late dinner. The people on staff were friendly and cheerful and Claudia even sent photos of the parking & entrance to make sure our check in went smoothly. Can't say enough good things about this location!

The best experience!

We had an amazing stay at this apartment in Faro, Portugal! The host was incredibly kind and helpful – truly the best reception we’ve ever had on vacation. The apartment itself was spotless and smelled fresh, with a beautifully prepared bed. As a lovely touch, the host welcomed us with some delicious biscuits and fresh oranges, which we really appreciated.

There’s also the option to park your car in the garage for a nightly fee, which is very convenient for anyone traveling by car. Faro is such a beautiful and charming city, and this stay made our trip even better. Highly recommend!

Cardeal, Absolutely Fantastic

Cardeal is one of the nicest and most welcoming places I’ve stayed. The ratings I’ve submitted don’t do it justice, it is much better than the five stars in every category. If or when I return to Faro I will have no hesitation in staying at Cardeal. Claudia was extremely welcoming and helpful in many ways and I would like to thank her for looking after me.

Very new and clean. Owner Claudia is personally appointing to guest reception and some quick tour guiding of the local area. Room decor is complete with kitchenette fridge and microwave.
We like the keyless entry - no more room cards!
DIY laundry is free!

Street parking is available and safe, keep your rental car small though. Neat courtyard for evening beers! We would have preferred thicker pillows but this is minor.

Will come back again!!!

For our last two days of vacation, we were thrilled with this spacious suite! 🌟 The air conditioning and all the essentials for a long stay made it perfect. What really sets this suite apart is the attention to detail—Claudia, the owner, personally welcomes you, ensuring everything is just right. 🚗 There’s a secure garage for your car and even a lockbox for your valuables, giving you peace of mind. My husband and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy, intimate, and restful retreat. 🛏️✨

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The host/reception was communicative and explained everything thoroughly. The space was large and the area was quiet, with a supermarket being close by (which we loved). Fridge, toaster, coffee maker, juicer were all included in the apartment. We also really appreciated being able to do laundry here. Overall, our stay was pleasant, reception was incredibly helpful and friendly. I would recommend this place if you plan on visiting the area.

Zero complaints. The room was perfect and very clean when we arrived. Kitchen is equipped with every necessity and the bathroom has towels and a hairdryer. The property is only a 10 minute walk to the marina and old town, with a nice walk through the town.

The owner, Claudia was absolutely lovely. Not only was she super helpful and easy to communicate with over text but she took time to tell us about noteworthy places to visit and helped us book boat tours through the national park. Can’t recommend enough. Would definitely love to come back some day.

Absolutely loved everything about my stay here! Claudia was so accommodating and helpful, there were lovely touches in the apartment such as fresh cookies and Portuguese oranges (the best imo). She was easily contactable and nothing was too much trouble. Cleanliness was 10/10! Parking is available for a small fee if needed and also, it’s such a convenient location. Close to everything and so much to do with some real gems close by. Would come back in a heartbeat

Excellent apartment with plenty of room. Modern. Big bathroom. Nice little semi private outdoor patio. Very nice common areas in 2 places; ground floor and 2nd level. Free washer and dryer. Claudia was a fantastic host. Well stocked kitchen ( just neexed a fish drainer and some kitchen towels ). When we return to the Algarve, we will stay at Cardeal for our base! Cannot say enough good things about Cardeal.

We had a very large unit that was bright and sunny. It was well equipped for cooking except no oven. The bathroom was very large and beautifully tiled, with a huge shower for two. The heat/ac worked well. There is a decent corner supermarket 100m away. There are several attractions very near and the Oldtown/castle and the pedestrian only area was about a ten minute walk.
Be sure to go to Churrasqueira ORecife a block or so away for a wonderful large meal of grilled chicken, rice, fries and salad for a great price. 2 of us shared an order and were stuffed.

Great communication! The host, Claudia was very accommodating. We have been communicating weeks before we arrived. We arrived past midnight and the place was very well lit, safe and quiet. Claudia sent us step by step instructions and photos on how to get in to the apartment. Bakeries, restaurants and groceries are within walking distance. Beds were comfortable and the shower was divine.

Amazing stay at Cardeal Suites

We stayed last October for five nights. The Cardeal Suites is one of the nicest apartments we’ve ever booked. It ticks all the boxes - from greeting on arrival to the comfort and cleanliness of the place. I love the concept, based around a courtyard with shared areas outside to sit in the sun. I wish many other places would pay such attention to detail and provide the level of service and quality to guests.
