There was a choice of a salty breakfast including eggs, cheese, ham & bacon. This option also csme with a smoothie, tea or coffee & a sluce of madeira cake. There's also a sweet ption: 2 warm croissants, greek yoghurt with blueberries smoothie tea or coffee. It was a very good breakfast.
The staff were super helpful.

Convenient location that is walkable to old town, bars, shopping, and a huge public parking lot. Clean room, wifi worked great, breakfast was wonderful, front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Quiet at night with some staff noise outside our window in the morning. Beautiful yellow building and breakfast room. I’d stay here again and recommend to others.
Hans
Central location, plenty of parking nearby, extremely small room, feels like a hostel
Olivia
Staff was accommodating in letting us drop off our bags early and even after we checked out. They also gave us a ton of recommendations for meals and activities in town. Breakfast was delicious and the decor is colorful and cozy.
Shin-Ja
Very small room, felt like a hostel. Location is very good. Nice roof top terrace.
JANICE
My stay was brief but pleasurable. My room was decorated adorably, the rooftop patio and kitchen area were very nice and cozy. My check in was seamless and the reception staff was extremely helpfull. I highly recommend this sweet place for other travelers. The location was very central and so easy to navigate on foot.
Lucie
The Sunlight staff were so helpful and communicated quickly every time I had a query. The room was small but clean and all we needed for a one night stay right by Faro old town. It was noisy as rooms close together so could hear neighbour snoring but a great stop off point en route to explore the Algarve.
Peter
We had an early departure and our breakfast was delivered to our room in the early morning. Very nice touch!
Jennifer
We stayed here only one night, before we flew out the next day but I would totally stay here again next time we’re in Faro. Sunlight house is incredibly well located, near everything (shops, sights, restaurants, etc), very clean and safe and the staff were very accommodating and helpful. We had to leave very early the next morning and missed the breakfast but they actually left breakfast in a bag for us at our door to eat at the airport! How nice is that? 👍
Sarah

Denise
Great central location. Very clean, friendly staff. Breakfast is excellent!
Kerstin
We. Loved our stay at this charming Bed and Breakfast. Super friendly and helpful staff. Perfect location to explore from. You can walk everywhere from here incl. the market. Breakfast was made with love and we appreciated all the different options incl. Vegan (we did not order Vegan but love that it was offered). The other thing that we really appreciated is the focus on sustainability and the community outreach. This little business is a gem with a heart. We can’t recommend this highly enough. Thank you for a great stay!

Absolutely adored our stay at the Sunlight House. The staff were friendly and helpful and Leonardo was very responsive pre-check in.
The location is fabulous for the old town and the room was clean, spacious and homely.
We will definitely be staying again in the future!

A great place to stay
Sunlight House is a gem of a find. an easy walk to the old town and main town centre with some great recommendations on their website. Our room was very quiet, clean and comfortable and we will certainly return next time we visit Faro.
judy
Aesthetically Charming!
This is a wonderful B&B! Aesthetically charming! Located centrally to downtown Faro, restaurants, beach ferries and excursions. The staff were helpful, attentive and very hospitable. The room was quaint and well kept. Breakfast on the rooftop was delicious and just add these beautiful flowers the garnish the plate.

Lovely place in a central location close to centre, everywhere walking distance. Very clean, friendly and quiet and had everything we needed for our stay. Excellent
alexander
Very nice property. We only stayed very short time due to early flight. Was disappointed we couldn’t have stayed longer.
Katie
A wonderful little hotel a short walk to the centre of Faro. Friendly staff and an excellent breakfast every day on a cute rooftop terrace. A perfect base for exploring the Algarve.
Shannon
Great location. Close to the water and plenty of food/drink options nearby.
Janice Patricia
This was a great place to stay for 1 night before heading back home from the Faro airport. The room and bathroom were both small but it was clean and comfortable. Our room had its own small terrace and there was a very nice rooftop terrace to enjoy the sunset. We left early so did not have breakfast but the breakfast room was very nice. This is well located at the old town and everything was within walking distance. There is free parking near the accommodation that was very busy but we found one of the few available spots. The Faro airport is about 15 minutes away. I would recommend Sunlight House.
Traci
I loved everything about this place, including the location, accommodations, breakfast and friendly staff. The roof top terrace is lovely.
Sheryl
Perfect location.
Unfortunately, the room smelled so strongly of mildew and mold that I had an asthma attack and had to leave within 1 hour of checking in. The reception was completely unhelpful and said I was not entitled to any refund after pre-paying for three days. The receptionist even denied there was any mildew / mold and blamed me by saying I didn’t know what it was like living next to the ocean and that it is normal to have moisture in the room. (I am from Atlantic Canada, where I lived directly beside the ocean for many years, and never had to deal with this mold.)
Expedia is working on this issue for me.

Petit hôtel bien situé près du vieux centre ville de Faro. Bon accueil par l'hôtel, avec bons conseils de restaurants près de l'hôtel. Chambre simple mais propre et fonctionnelle. Un peu bruyante (travaux à proximité) et couloir un peu bruyant.
Andrew
Disappointing for the price
We enjoyed our stay and the staff were lovely
The room was the most expensive on our 2 week trip and the smallest and a bit claustrophobic as a view onto at white wall which was disappointing.
Ok for one night.
Breakfast area in the roof was lovely but no real choice for breakfast
It was ok but not as good as other places we stayed.
Thank you for the welcome and stay in a nice area.
Some things to consider to improve though.
The staff were very nice though

Perfect for my pass through. Very nice breakfast served on the terrace with a nice breeze. Just lovely! The shower was modern and clean, super important to me when traveling!
ALAN
The only thing I can find fault with is this.
The house is advertised as a B&B but I was asked to pay for breakfast upon arrival 10 Euros. I prefered to walk to the marina for a restaurant breakfast

Breakfast was fantastic. Rooms are quaint a little tight (but that is to be expected of a European hotel). Our only complaint is that the walls were a little thin so we could easily hear guests coming and going. However for the most part people were pretty quite.
Martha
What a great place. A 3 minute walk from the FlixBus stop and 5 minutes to the Old Town. We stayed here for 4 nights and couldn’t have been happier with everything. The staff is sweet helpful - providing directions, recommendations and much needed assistance with our future plans. We were
Able to use the kitchen / terrace to eat dinner and relax. My only comment is that the toiletries need updating. Shampoo packages should be replaced with wall dispenser as they were impossible to open and not environmental. Otherwise perfection!

Great location and very comfortable stay. Rooms are compact but comfortable. Has a living room/roof top patio that you can hang out in/on. Staff are super friendly and helpful with advice about places to see/eat. Leonardo at the front desk is wonderful
Barry
The room was very small. It was a room with bunk beds but there were no chairs to use. The room was tiny. The photograph of the room did not indicate how small it was.
Karen
Highly recommended for an overnight stop
We had a single night in Sunlight House between landing at the airport and travelling onwards from Faro station. Sunlight House is in the perfect place to explore the old town on foot and be able to walk to the station. All the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We loved being given a map and recommendations, and eating breakfast on the roof terrace. It was so helpful that they were able to look after our luggage. The room was basic, but that's what we paid for.
Anne

Convenient and friendly
Sunlight House was compact but clean and comfortable. Good for short stays. The breakfast on the terrace was excellent, and the service was friendly. Very convenient location. Parking was limited during our stay due to the town festival. Would suggest checking in advance if you will need parking.
Michele
I stayed 11 nights in a room with bathroom and I had no problem. The room was small but the bed was comfortable and the shower jet is good. I enjoyed it during my staying.
Patricia
Awesome stay! The rooms are small, but comfortable. The staff at breakfast were always friendly, a little tip if you like sauce … bring your own! The breakfast is delicious but there’s no hot sauce or ketchup. Would love to go back!
Glen
wonderfully clean and close to downtown Faro and old city…smaller room but comfortable bed and wonderful terrace in rooftop to relax in and enjoy some port…
Patrick
The management was very helpful. We arrived late and couldn't get a cab from the train station so they called a cab for us which was very helpful. Located in the old district of the town,which was good.
Jane
Great location, friendly staff
This was a lovely B&B, with facilities and a rooftop terrace. The B&B is spotless, well serviced and the breakfast was very good. Just make sure you let them know any dietary needs in advance.
WiFi was fine. No TV in the room but we were fine with this.
In a really good location in the Old town with several bars and restaurants a few hundred metres away.
Staff really friendly, they also provided us with a packed breakfast on our last day as we had an early start. Great price and location. Would stay again.

Sunshine people at sunlight house
Brilliant location.
Iris is a lovely spacious apartment. We arrived very late due to flight delays and the staff could not have been more helpful in staying open for us. Very warm welcome and great advice on things to do. Rooftop terrace and dining area is truly stunning and the restaurant staff could not have been friendlier and served us some delicious food at breakfast. Only small thing to be aware of is that the hall of Faro centre basically sits underneath the flight path for the airport and as such some aircraft noise is unavoidable but that does not just relate to this property, it would be relevant anywhere in central Faro.

Cozy hotel, with wonderful staff and location!
Peter
This was an aptly named bed and breakfast accommodation since my room was bathed in sunlight owing to the large window. Sunlight house is centrally located in Faro only a short walk to the historic core of the city, My room was bright and spacious with a private bathroom. There was ample free public parking just steps away for my rent a car. The included breakfasts were of high quality and the staff were all courteous and professional - highly recommended when staying in Faro
Verified traveler
Perfect.
We had a great couple of days at Sunlight. The staff could not have friendlier or more helpful, and we really liked having an outside space. The breakfast on the terrace each morning was a perfect start to the day.We plan to return one day.
Ned
Great room, lots of sunlight. The terrace was wonderful both for breakfast and enjoying dinner in the evening. Conveniently located to restaurants, shopping and boat tours. Leo was really helpful and nice.
Lorraine
Very helpful staff who made you feel welcome. The room was fresh and the bed comfy with a spacious showroom. Breakfast was exceptional and served in the warm February sun on the roof terrace. Perfect! Very very reasonably priced too.
There was local free parking and a launderette round the corner; walking distance to the marina and the old walled town.

Clean, great location, easy check in. Didn’t like the shared bathroom because I prefer a private bathroom but due to the build and nature of the hotel they don’t have private bathrooms. (This is not meant to reflect badly on the hotel, it’s just my personal preference. The bathrooms were very clean!)

A wonderful find so near to the Old Town
I needed somewhere in Faro to stay overnight whilst waiting for a flight home. I looked and found the Sunlight House B&B which looked ideal die to it's proximity to the old town and value for money. From the greeting at the door, to the explanation of nearby attractions, to being taken to the room, the young man was delightful (unfortunately I did not catch his name). The room was clean and quiet and the terrace for breakfast did not disappoint. Breakfast was also lovely and quite a lot more than I was expecting. Cooked to order scrambled eggs, ham, cheese, toast, juice and even cake and an apple to follow. I would definitely stay there again.
K
Decent spot for a short stay
Wonderfully warm welcome. Lovely staff. The terrasse is very cute with a great view, and location is good for an overnight in Faro after a late arrival time. Good price.
The hotel is maximum kitsch.
The negatives are a small bathroom and a cat that’s marked its territory on the astroturf of the grass outside. Don’t stay on the ground floor and you’ll really enjoy.

Amazing. Our room was comfortable and the location is excellent, just one block from the old city and free parking is available. Phillips and Marius were delightful hosts. Phillips met us on arrival. There is a huge rooftop room and outdoor deck where you can relax, sip wine and enjoy the stars. The breakfast is huge and amazing. One of the best air b&b ever!

We loved staying at Sunlight House! It’s in a great location right next to the old town and a close (~10-15min) walk to the bus and train station. The breakfast is more than enough and they even packed us a breakfast for our early morning flight. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to our friends and family!

Recommended! Read through the review
We started off on the wrong foot for when we arrived there was no one there. We had to wait for 30 minutes in the rain until one of the guests heard us knocking and opened up for us. However, from the moment we recieved our room we realized how amazing this place is! It is clean, the rooms are spacious, there is hitting and it is simply soothing and lovely. Breakfast on the terrace was really tasty and nicely served. We had an absolutely woNderful stay. Wish we could stay more than one night! I really recommend you would let them know your time of arrival:)

Our hosts were very accommodating - gave us information on the town as soon as we arrived and allowed us to leave our bags there for the day and come back inside to wait on their lovely terrace for our taxi. Breakfast was delicious!

Stay here!
So close to local shopping and restaurants. Charmingly appointed. Included breakfast was wonderful. Extremely reasonably priced to top it off!

Friendly B&B
This place was a great find, we loved our stay. The owners were lovely and welcoming. The room was spacious and quiet. It says there is continental breakfast included with cereal, fruit and coffee but were surprised to find the staff were there making fresh juices and cooking a different hot item for us each morning such as Portuguese-style cinnamon toast.

I would highly recommend Sunlight house! My room was cozy, and the bathrooms were very clean. The staff was super kind and generous and allowed me to check in early, as well as store my luggage there until my flight on my last day in Faro.

Not as advertised
It wasn’t clear that the bathrooms and toilets are shared and found that it was very noisy.
Wouldn’t stay there again.

Central location
A pleasant little place. Nice terrace for breakfast. Room and bathroom were a bit small but fine for a short stay.

Comfrtable close to the city center
We stayed at Sunlight House just for one night. The room was comfortable and clean. The breakfast is served in a nice terace, so you start your day in a great mood.

Exceeds expectations
Charming guest house with very helpful staff. Breakfast simple but ample and resident's kitchen allows food and drink preparation at other times.The terrace where breakfast is served overlooks the old city archway. Walking distance from Faro bus and train station and close to the Marina and shopping centre.

Excellent location
the staff was very helpful. I had a double room with bath, and was disappointed that the room had a view to a white wall. very clean but basic room and amenities. the location is excellent, close to old town, and the shopping and restaurants area. there is a nice open view from a terrace where the breakfast is served and is accessible to all guests at all times.

Cute, cozy and great service
Cute cozy, we stayed for one night before a flight out of Faro.
The service was fantastic. The kind check in staff provided a helpful dinner recommendation, and went above to make breakfast available for our early departure.

Great Place- Excellent Location!
This place was amazing! So quaint, and welcoming. Very clean and lovely. Full kitchens (yes, two!) for our use, a BEAUTIFUL terrace next to a cozy lounge area on the top floor. The location was Perfect- right around old town, and all that you'd want to see and do in Faro. The hosts were great, and we will be happy to return to stay here again.

Very clean b&b
Just outside the city walls,in a residential street. Reception only open when someone arrives if you need assistance you have to ring a number. If you want a more personalized service this place isn't for you. Our room(Helena) was very clean and had lots of storage space. We had tea/ coffee making facilities but never supplied any milk during our 3 day stay. Due to a cold wet snap our room was cold we had a small plug in heater which was useful but we couldnt leave on when we went out at night. Because our room was cool the bathroom towels didn't dry and one evening on returning to our room our towels hadn't been changed as no one at reception we couldn't get any replacements.
The breakfast choice was excellent lots of food choices, the breakfast room was cramped and cluttered we found out that normally breakfast was taken on the rooftop terrace but due to poor weather we had to be inside with the washing, garden furniture.. This was slightly inconvenient for us but on the whole it was a excellent value for money. Sunday morning a church bell rang very loudly quite early! Very annoying.

Mix of B&B and hostel
The staff are very nice and helpful. I had an en suite room that was quite nice; clean and comfortable. Note that there seem to be other rooms that are not en suite. The breakfast room was very cramped and I gave up on trying to eat breakfast as a family filled the space and the table was pretty messy. There is a small kitchen that can be used, although it is so tiny and cramped that it probably would only be good for making light meals like sandwiches. There was a tea pot in the room. No tv which was fine by me but might be an issue for some people.
This was the most expensive place I stayed at in Portugal (out of 5) and probably the least comfy with the worst breakfast. i'm not sure why it was so 'expensive' relative to other hotels and B&Bs.
This is an okay B&B with a hostel-ish feel. Clean with nice staff but the tiny, cramped breakfast room is something of a problem
I had to say whether I would recommend to a friend or not; I put yes but it would depend on the friend.

Friendly, quirky hotel in centre
This was a very cute hotel except for the noise! Varnished, creaky, wooden floorboards and wood doors with noisy locks and heavy iron keys are a bad choice. The noise factor dissuaded me from staying beyond one night,which is a shame. They could lay runners in the hallways, and rugs in the rooms, or hand out compulsory slippers on check-in. They could also get less noisy locks, lighter keys (or velvet coat them) and put small pads on the doorframes to reduce noise. Windows on the communicating walls between bedrooms and shared showers, if they cant be boarded, should have cork sound insulation, not sticky paper on the panes. I could hear every drop as if it were in my room. In the end, I had to play 10hrs of rainstorm sounds on my laptop to get to sleep. I was lucky the other guests were considerate or that would not have sufficed. Finally, as there is no table to put a suitcase on, and only one small chest of drawers in the room, a few pegs to hang clothes would have been appreciated. It is possible to retain the character features while making the stay more pleasant for the guests for not too much outlay.

Spacious, clean and well located
We enjoyed our stay at Sunlight. It is steps from the historical center, steps from a large parking lot, and steps from the sea. Staff is very professional and a warm welcome awaits the visitor. Our room, Amelie, was spacious and calm. The bathroom, although shared, was spotless, large and well appointed and, most importantly, with only 7 rooms and not the only one available, it was free most times we needed it. Breakfast was diverse, complete and of decent quality. The common areas such as the terrace and den are very nice spaces to spend time in. I would go back to Sunlight if I went back to Faro which, by the way, is a charming place to visit.

Great place to stay, so close to the Old town!
Hotel facilities and staff were great for our three night stay. rooms were spacious and clean with cooking facilities and the roof top terrace, even in January was great! Highly recommend.

Fint og rent værelse. Godt personale. Men stedet er ikke så isoleret så man kan høre når folk går på gangene og lukker dørene osv.
