The only thing I can find fault with is this. The house is advertised as a B&B but I was asked to pay for breakfast upon arrival 10 Euros. I prefered to walk to the marina for a restaurant breakfast

Dear Alan, due to the proximity to Faro airport we have many customers who prefer to benefit from a reduced rate without breakfast as they have very early flights. You probably booked this rate without realizing it.It was a pleasure to welcome you and we will be happy to host you again.

What a great place. A 3 minute walk from the FlixBus stop and 5 minutes to the Old Town. We stayed here for 4 nights and couldn’t have been happier with everything. The staff is sweet helpful - providing directions, recommendations and much needed assistance with our future plans. We were Able to use the kitchen / terrace to eat dinner and relax. My only comment is that the toiletries need updating. Shampoo packages should be replaced with wall dispenser as they were impossible to open and not environmental. Otherwise perfection!

Highly recommended for an overnight stop
We had a single night in Sunlight House between landing at the airport and travelling onwards from Faro station. Sunlight House is in the perfect place to explore the old town on foot and be able to walk to the station. All the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We loved being given a map and recommendations, and eating breakfast on the roof terrace. It was so helpful that they were able to look after our luggage. The room was basic, but that's what we paid for.

Convenient and friendly
Sunlight House was compact but clean and comfortable. Good for short stays. The breakfast on the terrace was excellent, and the service was friendly. Very convenient location. Parking was limited during our stay due to the town festival. Would suggest checking in advance if you will need parking.

This was a lovely B&B, with facilities and a rooftop terrace. The B&B is spotless, well serviced and the breakfast was very good. Just make sure you let them know any dietary needs in advance. WiFi was fine. No TV in the room but we were fine with this. In a really good location in the Old town with several bars and restaurants a few hundred metres away. Staff really friendly, they also provided us with a packed breakfast on our last day as we had an early start. Great price and location. Would stay again.

Sunshine people at sunlight house
Brilliant location. Iris is a lovely spacious apartment. We arrived very late due to flight delays and the staff could not have been more helpful in staying open for us. Very warm welcome and great advice on things to do. Rooftop terrace and dining area is truly stunning and the restaurant staff could not have been friendlier and served us some delicious food at breakfast. Only small thing to be aware of is that the hall of Faro centre basically sits underneath the flight path for the airport and as such some aircraft noise is unavoidable but that does not just relate to this property, it would be relevant anywhere in central Faro.

This was an aptly named bed and breakfast accommodation since my room was bathed in sunlight owing to the large window. Sunlight house is centrally located in Faro only a short walk to the historic core of the city, My room was bright and spacious with a private bathroom. There was ample free public parking just steps away for my rent a car. The included breakfasts were of high quality and the staff were all courteous and professional - highly recommended when staying in Faro

Clean, great location, easy check in. Didn’t like the shared bathroom because I prefer a private bathroom but due to the build and nature of the hotel they don’t have private bathrooms. (This is not meant to reflect badly on the hotel, it’s just my personal preference. The bathrooms were very clean!)

A wonderful find so near to the Old Town
I needed somewhere in Faro to stay overnight whilst waiting for a flight home. I looked and found the Sunlight House B&B which looked ideal die to it's proximity to the old town and value for money. From the greeting at the door, to the explanation of nearby attractions, to being taken to the room, the young man was delightful (unfortunately I did not catch his name). The room was clean and quiet and the terrace for breakfast did not disappoint. Breakfast was also lovely and quite a lot more than I was expecting. Cooked to order scrambled eggs, ham, cheese, toast, juice and even cake and an apple to follow. I would definitely stay there again.

Decent spot for a short stay
Wonderfully warm welcome. Lovely staff. The terrasse is very cute with a great view, and location is good for an overnight in Faro after a late arrival time. Good price. The hotel is maximum kitsch. The negatives are a small bathroom and a cat that’s marked its territory on the astroturf of the grass outside. Don’t stay on the ground floor and you’ll really enjoy.

Amazing. Our room was comfortable and the location is excellent, just one block from the old city and free parking is available. Phillips and Marius were delightful hosts. Phillips met us on arrival. There is a huge rooftop room and outdoor deck where you can relax, sip wine and enjoy the stars. The breakfast is huge and amazing. One of the best air b&b ever!

We loved staying at Sunlight House! It’s in a great location right next to the old town and a close (~10-15min) walk to the bus and train station. The breakfast is more than enough and they even packed us a breakfast for our early morning flight. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to our friends and family!

We started off on the wrong foot for when we arrived there was no one there. We had to wait for 30 minutes in the rain until one of the guests heard us knocking and opened up for us. However, from the moment we recieved our room we realized how amazing this place is! It is clean, the rooms are spacious, there is hitting and it is simply soothing and lovely. Breakfast on the terrace was really tasty and nicely served. We had an absolutely woNderful stay. Wish we could stay more than one night! I really recommend you would let them know your time of arrival:)

This place was a great find, we loved our stay. The owners were lovely and welcoming. The room was spacious and quiet.
