Laguna Formosa

Laguna Formosa, October 2025

Pros: Spotlessly clean. Lovely sun terraces. Great place to just chill. Aldi within 5 mins walk for all the shopping if needed, but in a peaceful suburban location. Cafes/restaurants within 15 minute walk. The owner lived in the other half of the house and was very friendly and extremely helpful where needed, without being at all intrusive. Felt very welcome there.

Cons: Nothing at all to dislike, but a car would have been a necessity to get into the old town of Faro or to the coast.

Very spacious apartment with perfect host

Pros: Our stay was really short, but we had everything we need. And the host was extremely nice person, helpful in every way. We arrived at 23.00 at night and she waited for us with warm welcome. Thank you for everything. The location is just 5min from airport.

Cons: The only thing which might be concern for someone with some mobility issues, there are several staircases in house, so going from kitchen to bedroom (or from kitchen to terrace) you have to take several steps. It was no issue for us, but might be for some people.

Pros: Emelia the Host was wonderful, left us a lil gift, the property had everything we needed and more, can only highly recommend just a shame its already booked for the dates we want next year.

No regrets about staying at the Villa and would be happy to stay there again

Pros: Closeness to the airport and lovely owners who were very keen to keep you happy and never complained if we made too much noise. Although the Villa is only a short drive from the airport, it is not in the flight path so aircraft noise was not a problem. Aircraft noise could be heard from the terraces, but it was infrequent. Very clean Villa with off street parking available and everything you need for cooking dinner should you choose to do so. Aldi 5 minutes walk away. Faro is a good base for visiting the surrounding Algarve. We were a family of six adults so didn’t need to use any of the child facilities like the cot.

Cons: There is some noise from the nearby highway if you sit on the terrace facing the road. more so on weekdays when everyone is getting to work but the noise was mingled in with many of the birds chirping away, so not a big issue for us, especially as we never spent too much time on the terraces. The road or aircraft noise was not noticeable inside the villa. Our last accommodation was on one level so we had to get used to going up the stairs to use the shower/bathrooms and bedrooms.

Beautiful Town House - fantastic hospitality from the host

Pros: Firstly the place is beautiful. We hired a car for the stay and the location was great and many things in the area like a short ride to the old town with lots of restaurants and shopping. Local shopping centres nearby and malls which were great for trips out in the evening. The town house is stunning - 3 double bedrooms with separate balcony's on the top floor. one has an ensuite and also an extra bathroom with jacuzzi bathtub. Perfect for a small / medium family getaway. The ground floor has a well equipped kitchen and dining area with TV and games section and a downstairs loo. The dining area which leads out to stairs to a terraced area with a large hot tub and dining area which was very comfortable and plenty of seating. The hosts of the property were amazing from start to finish and so hospitable. We were given wine and chocolates which was a nice touch. I was so please with this place that I'm already looking at staying again.

Cons: I don't have any negatives to write about

Pros: Wonderful,supportive and very friendly hosts! We were traveling during winter season,house was warm and cozy. Good location,close to Faro, house with comfortable bedrooms and kitchen,coffee machine,terraces and nice bathrooms. We were staying with two kids,so there were plenty of games and books to play. Outdoor jakuzzi also was lovely. Thanks again for the wonderful stay! Greetings from Latvia.
