Ria Formosa guesthouse was new to us; and turned out to be an excellent choice. It is comfortable, with good facilities, and the duty manager was extremely helpful. He happily organised a taxi for us to the airport at 3.50 am, and made sure the taxi firm confirmed it. We would stay there again with no hesitation.

Tastefully appointed, fabulous crisp linens and towels, great shower, plenty of attention to detail. Breakfast was all you could ask for, very fresh. Great location if you need the airport early otherwise just a reasonable UBER to town.

A lovely little spot tucked away in a corner with a surprisingly beautiful view especially at night. We stayed one night for a flight the next day. The hot tub on our terrace was fabulous and the room was large and comfortable. The hotel, although small was beautifully decorated and very clean and the staff was very helpful. They even carried our luggage upstairs for us.
