Beautiful property, convenient to the airport. Lovely lunch and free drinks, rooms are clean and spacious. Lovely patio, Staff were very kind and helpful. The only thing I’d mention is the carpeting going up to the rooms is very dirty/stained.

The Ria Formosa is a very nice, clean hotel. The pool looked very clean and inviting. We were only there 1 night before our flight. We enjoyed a meal and glass of wine.

We really enjoyed our stay at the aria Formosa Guesthouse. It looks recently built or renovated with a modern and clean design. We used it as a stop over from a late arrival into Faro. It was close to the airport and easy to walk from the next morning to collect an airport car hire. We took a taxi who found it hard to locate at first. Checking Information was clear and included self checkin in case we arrived past midnight. Staff were friendly. The breakfast was inexpensive but delicious and included a wide spread. Our room was huge and had good views over the ria Formosa. I’d stay again!

I stayed for 1 night only, the room was very clean and spacious. The hotel located on a quiet corner with a beautiful river view. 15 min walk/7 min drive to the airport. Highly recommend!!!

We picked this hotel for a one night stay due to its proximity to the airport. The room was large but had a pitched ceiling which my husband bumped his head on multiple times. It was a 20 minute uber ride into Faro for restaurants and sightseeing. As others have mentioned, there is no elevator and the carpeting on the stairs is badly stained.

Just returned from an amazing weekend staying at the Ria Formosa. A short walk from the airport, ideal if you’re travelling light. The staff were welcoming and friendly and the room was exceptionally clean. We stayed in the Royal room, it went well above our expectations and the hot tub was lovely and clean. The breakfast was great value for money, everything was fresh and tasty. All in all an absolute hidden gem, can’t think of anything that could have been better and we will definitely be back! Thank you for making our mini holiday so lovely!

I had a great stay at this hotel. It was exceptionally clean, and the bathroom was both spotless and spacious. The breakfast is definitely worth it—everything was fresh and well-prepared. The hotel's location is also a major plus, being so close to the airport. We even received a welcome drink upon arrival, which was a nice touch. The staff were very friendly and made the experience even better. I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing boutique hotel with great amenities. The primary reason for this place is its proximity to the airport, but it’s the type of place that would be amazing for more nights, and I wish we had known how much of a gem this place was and we would have stayed longer! We utilized the spa (hot tub, pool and sauna) and even the food at the bar was fantastic with our welcome drinks which were a nice touch. We rented the bikes for an afternoon and biked to the beach for a picnic. Loved our stay and the staff were so nice. Will definitely be recommending the Guest House to friends

Lovely warm welcome. Beautiful stay, all very high spec appliances and furniture and well equipped. Stayed in Room 201, which was huge and came a hot tub and great view. Breakfast was very good. Robes and slippers available for use of pool or spa facilities. Within walking distance to airport but very peaceful. Within easy access by key tourist points by taxi/ car - free carpark on site. Bar & Pool open until 22:00. Lovely lounge with TV and board games. Such a great stay.

We stayed here to use the pool but the pool was extremely cold(not heated). It is quite a winding route to get to it. It is indeed away from it all-the planes taking off at the nearby airport didn’t bother us.
