Casa Apollo Guesthouse

After long and intense medical treatment i was looking for a Peaceful & Tranquil setting, the thought process was where could i stay and rest rather than a place i could step out from every day to tour. I reviewed both the location of this Hotel, 150mtr from the main streets of Faro together with a fantastic resting area within the curtilage of the Property, the owner prides himself on this fantastic sanctuary Garden with the swimming Pool to one side steadying at a comfortable 27deg. The perimeter walls filled with very distinctive Tropical Plants, some even imported from as far as French Guyana, amazing and calming to look at. Jean Paul & his Team could not be more accommodating, generally i never return to the same place twice as i feel there are plenty of undiscovered alternatives, but in this RARE case , this would be a no brainer and return i will. Bedroom 5/5 Bed 5/5 Breakfast 5/5 Host & Team 5/5 Comfort 5/5 PS i do not usually take time to write reviews however i think this was deserving for a small business that tries so hard to please.

I had the most wonderful stay! The room was perfect - big comfortable bed, tv, spotlessly clean and elegantly styled. You can tell that the owner took great care designing the property and in maintaining high standards. The pool and garden area was beautiful. The fruit trees were very cool! There was also a nice lounge area for guests. The owner kindly let me relax at the guesthouse until my evening flight after I had checked out. It feels like an oasis in the middle of the city - but only a 15 minute Uber to the airport which was very convenient. The breakfast was fresh and delicious. There were a variety of yoghurts, granolas, fruits, homemade french toast, meats, bread, cheese etc! I was also offered eggs. It was lovely to sit out on the patio for this. I will be recommending Casa Apollo to all friends and family who come to stay in Faro!

Wonderful place to stay. Chantale et Jean Paul very sweet, welcoming, extremely helpful and attentive. Truly a boutique hotel in best sense of the word. An oasis in the area of quiet, calm, peaceful garden with fruit trees, replete with an excellent cat. Breakfast superb!! Healthy even with fruit from the garden with something specially home made every morning. A high point of our trip. Shower excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

What a friendly lovely place. Spacious comfortable bedroom. Beautifully furnished. Peaceful and calm. Excellent breakfast. Chantal looked after us so nicely. Ideally placed close to centre of Faro and bus and train stations.

We had a wonderful stay at the Casa Apollo. The staff are so kind and attentive. Jean Paul the owner could not do enough for us. Our room was beautiful and the breakfasts were delicious. The garden is a delight as is the pool area. Highly recommended.

The owner was a french man who was so kind. He made the best breakfast I had in Portugal, even better than what was provided in expensive hotels. The room was clean and the house looked tidy and pleasant. Sadly the garden area was under renovation so it looked a little messy outside but that didnt affect my stay. Also, when I first arrived and parked outside, I got so scared because the street looked sketchy at night but gladly nothing happened and the inside was good.

Stylish, uncluttered, quiet and relaxing. Jean Paul is a great host. We arrived during his holiday due to a booking error. We were the only guests. He made us feel welcome and made sure we were happy with our stay.

Wonderful guesthouse in Faro in short walking distance to charming streets in the old part of the city with restaurants and cafés. The guesthouse is completely renovated in a simplistic and tasteful style, modern while keeping an authentic feel. Our room was very clean and beautifully decorated, with a gorgeous view of the lush garden surrounding the pool and courtyard. Everything is very well maintained. The homemade breakfast was incredible and Jean Paul and his staff are making sure you will feel most welcome and at home in this place. A great place to relax and unwind, and a good location for exploring the Algarve. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

I went to Faro for a quick solo trip and Casa Apollo was the perfect accommodation. Jean-Paul and his small but mighty team are incredible hosts. My room happened to be a suite and it was so wonderfully decorated: smelled amazing, newly redone bathrooms, shower pressure was incredible, had AC, and there were materials for tea and coffee. There is a wonderful breakfast buffet setup in the mornings that's also Covid-safe by managing the amount of guests that attend at once (you sign up on a chalkboard for your timeslot the day before). I loved exploring Faro and other nearby towns, then coming back to lounge by the pool, and it was never crowded (I think at most, there were four of us out there). Location: A ten minute ride from the airport and so easy to get a cab or Uber. Also walking distance from shopping and restaurants, including a great little drink spot (Madalena) with music across the street. It's also a 5 minute walk from the Faro train station. I'm an American living in London but I think most other guests were French, so multiple languages are spoken onsite with no issue. Casa Apollo really, really made my trip to Faro. They can also recommend so wonderufl restaurants in Faro, and in a few other nearby towns like Olhao.
