Claudia and the team are widely described as friendly, communicative, and proactive, offering flexible check-ins, local tips, and thoughtful welcome touches. Suites are well equipped for extended stays, with functional kitchens, effective air conditioning, and generous living space; a few guests mentioned firm mattresses. The location is convenient for walking to the old town, marina, markets, and transport hubs; a few noted the surrounding streets feel average or in renewal. Expect a clean, comfortable, and well-managed base for exploring Faro.

Very new and clean. Owner Claudia is personally appointing to guest reception and some quick tour guiding of the local area. Room decor is complete with kitchenette fridge and microwave. We like the keyless entry - no more room cards! DIY laundry is free! Street parking is available and safe, keep your rental car small though. Neat courtyard for evening beers! We would have preferred thicker pillows but this is minor. Will come back again!!!

We had an amazing stay at this apartment in Faro, Portugal! The host was incredibly kind and helpful – truly the best reception we’ve ever had on vacation. The apartment itself was spotless and smelled fresh, with a beautifully prepared bed. As a lovely touch, the host welcomed us with some delicious biscuits and fresh oranges, which we really appreciated. There’s also the option to park your car in the garage for a nightly fee, which is very convenient for anyone traveling by car. Faro is such a beautiful and charming city, and this stay made our trip even better. Highly recommend!

For our last two days of vacation, we were thrilled with this spacious suite! 🌟 The air conditioning and all the essentials for a long stay made it perfect. What really sets this suite apart is the attention to detail—Claudia, the owner, personally welcomes you, ensuring everything is just right. 🚗 There’s a secure garage for your car and even a lockbox for your valuables, giving you peace of mind. My husband and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy, intimate, and restful retreat. 🛏️✨

Tudo perfeito em nossa estadia. Excelente acomodação - a infraestrutura do local é toda nova, portas e saídas com códigos, móveis, decoração, chuveiro. Próximo da estação de trem (500m) e da praça central. O local dispõe de estacionamento próprio, mas não utilizamos, por isso não sei dizer se há alguma cobrança. Cláudia e sua equipe são muito educados e atenciosos, o que inclui o pessoal da limpeza também. Ótima comunicação.

Very modern, fully-equipped apartments in Faro town centre, a few minutes' walk from the Marina, Cathedral and Municipal Market. I was only staying for one night, but was impressed by the little apartment complex, which has its own private courtyard and other useful facilities such as laundry. Very warm welcome from Claudia.

We stayed last October for five nights. The Cardeal Suites is one of the nicest apartments we’ve ever booked. It ticks all the boxes - from greeting on arrival to the comfort and cleanliness of the place. I love the concept, based around a courtyard with shared areas outside to sit in the sun. I wish many other places would pay such attention to detail and provide the level of service and quality to guests.

We had a very large unit that was bright and sunny. It was well equipped for cooking except no oven. The bathroom was very large and beautifully tiled, with a huge shower for two. The heat/ac worked well. There is a decent corner supermarket 100m away. There are several attractions very near and the Oldtown/castle and the pedestrian only area was about a ten minute walk. Be sure to go to Churrasqueira ORecife a block or so away for a wonderful large meal of grilled chicken, rice, fries and salad for a great price. 2 of us shared an order and were stuffed.

Zero complaints. The room was perfect and very clean when we arrived. Kitchen is equipped with every necessity and the bathroom has towels and a hairdryer. The property is only a 10 minute walk to the marina and old town, with a nice walk through the town. The owner, Claudia was absolutely lovely. Not only was she super helpful and easy to communicate with over text but she took time to tell us about noteworthy places to visit and helped us book boat tours through the national park. Can’t recommend enough. Would definitely love to come back some day.

This place is AMAZING and was hands down our favorite place my adult daughter and I stayed in Portugal! It was very clean, spacious and beautifully decorated. Everywhere we needed to go (with the exception of the tour of Benagil Caves we did) was within walking distance (even the train station). We enjoyed sitting out on our private patio in the evening to unwind from the day's activities. The kitchen had everything you would need, though we didn't really utilize it much. The mattresses were quite firm, which is really my only complaint about the place but if you enjoy a firm mattress then you'll be fine and if you don't then the rest of what Cardeal Suites and Apartments has to offer more than makes up for it.

The apartment is spacious, especially the living room and the bathroom. During check-in, Claudia was so nice to provide many travelling information. She closely communicated with me before and during our stay. The apartment is in a convenient location, just few minutes walks to the old town. There is a family resturant nearby named Taberna Zé-Zé and their cataplana tastes really good. The Algarva is such a beautiful area of Portugal. Hope will visit Faro and stay at the Cardeal Suites again.

This has been the most amazing perfect place to stay. We were allowed early checkin due to room being available. On arrival we were given information about what we could do, and where everything was in the area,, instructions fir room facilities etc. There was complimentary water, fruit and cookies. Room was a really good size. There is a little communal courtyard outside whereI you could sit and another communal area where there are books. I could not fault this place. Communications with Claudia was always quick and responsive. Place was so close to everything. It is the first place i have ever stayed at that exceeded my expectations highly recommended and definitely a place i would come back to.

Great place to stay in Faro. A short walk to the old town and close to restaurants. The apartment complex is new clean and well maintained. The apartment was huge and well appointed. Parking on site for a small fee. Claudia was helpful and friendly and communicated well. Would recommend.

The Cardeal Suites & Apartments is a quiet oasis, located in an average Faro neighbourhood. It's conveniently located just 5 minutes away from the shopping/restaurant district and 10 minutes from the historic downtown. Claudia, the property manager is super helpful and informative. The cleaning staff are friendly and polite.

A very convenient location, walkable to old city and town center. Apartment was clean and sufficient amenities. The private courtyard was a plus! Claudia, the property manager, was attentive and helpful. Highly recommend this apartment!

Very modern, fully-equipped apartments in Faro town centre, a few minutes' walk from the Marina, Cathedral and Municipal Market. I was only staying for one night, but was impressed by the little apartment complex, which has its own private courtyard and other useful facilities such as laundry. Very warm welcome from Claudia.

Our room was super comfortable and well set up for an extended stay. The inner courtyard was quiet and also a beautiful setup. Faro was one of our favourite places to visit and we will come back to the Algarve for a longer stay next time. There are many restaurants and a pedestrian only commercial area within 10 minute walk.The area around the hotel is undergoing a rebuild and was safe and quiet after dark when we went out for late dinner. The people on staff were friendly and cheerful and Claudia even sent photos of the parking & entrance to make sure our check in went smoothly. Can't say enough good things about this location!

A lovely place to stay in a really good location, just a short walk away from the bars and restaurants. The apartment was clean, modern and spacious. The communication and attentiveness from Claudia was top class. One of the best experiences I have ever encountered in many overseas visits.

The apartment is exactly the same as described. The property management team maintains the apartments very well, all are very clean and im good conditions. The apartment is spacious, especially the living room and the bathroom. During check-in, Claudia was so nice to provide many travelling information. She closely communicated with me before and during our stay. The apartment is in a convenient location, just few minutes walks to the old town. There is a family resturant nearby named Taberna Zé-Zé and their cataplana tastes really good. The Algarva is such a beautiful area of Portugal. Hope will visit Faro and stay at the Cardeal Suites again.

Claudia made us feel so welcome with extra touches like fruit and cookies. She took the time to explain the area to us and what it had to offer. The suite itself was so spacious and clean. So many shops and restaurants within walking distance!

Desde nossa chegada até o check-out, a Cláudia (gerente do hotel) nos acolheu super bem. Viajamos em 3 pessoas e o nosso quarto era lindo, super aconchegante. Duas camas de solteiro no quarto e um sofá cama na sala. Uma cozinha completa que nos atendeu perfeitamente, um banheiro completo enorme e uma varanda maravilhosa. A localização é ótima, uns 5 minutos a pé e já estamos em meio a restaurantes, farmácia e mercados. Com certeza voltaremos em uma próxima oportunidade.

We had a wonderful 4-night stay at Cardeal Suites & Apartments! The accommodation was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Claudia was an incredibly warm, friendly, and welcoming host, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The location is also fantastic, close to downtown Faro, with everything within walking distance. We would definitely recommend Cardeal Suites & Apartments to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and conveniently located place to stay in Faro.

A great find right in the centre of Faro. Claudia is amazing, she sent me a WhatsApp before arrival with everything I needed. She was there when we arrived, showed us around and we even had biscuits and oranges left for us complimentary! Everything you need is there including dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, toilet rolls, towels and bedding. The apartment was spotlessly clean we could not fault our stay at all.
