Tucked into the historic heart of Faro, capital of the Algarve, this is a beautifully restored late nineteenth-century 630m2 property offering a rare combination of heritage character, contemporary comfort, and complete privacy in the city centre. With 9 bedrooms(1 of which can accommodate 3 guests) and owners suite, a pool and tropical garden, completely private, this successful guesthouse offers an AL licence and operating business, including assets from day one

The building underwent a complete renovation in 2019, sensitively updating the property throughout while preserving its nineteenth-century character: original façade lines, generous proportions, and period charm sit alongside modern wiring, plumbing, climate control, solar panels and finishes ready for immediate use.

A Private Tropical Retreat
The standout feature is its lush tropical garden and pool, a genuine oasis at the centre of the property. Planted with palms, bananas, papaya, citrus, and aromatic greenery, the garden highlights the beautifully tiled terrace and the heated pool …and is entirely private and enclosed, with no overlooking neighbours — an exceptional and increasingly rare find in a dense historic town centre.

Accommodation
Comprising of nine individually designed bedrooms across the main house, a second floor with attic ceilings, and a separate garden annexe, offering flexibility for either continued guesthouse use or conversion to a private residence. Each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom, all except 1 having a separate WC to their individual bathrooms. Two of the suites are configured with a separate bedroom and living areas - which allows for a sofa bed for additional guests. All suites have either a garden or pool view.

More Highlights
Beyond the main accommodation, a rare and extremely valuable asset for a property in the heart of Faro’s old town: a private garage, a genuine practical luxury seldom found in the city. A large laundry room supports the smooth day-to-day running of the property, while multiple additional rooms offer flexible space that could be adapted for storage, a spa, a games room, or whatever use suits a new owner’s plans.

Location
Within easy walking distance of Faro’s marina, old town, and the Ria Formosa natural park, this historic property combines a storied industrial heritage, a thorough modern renovation, and an entirely private garden setting. A characterful and versatile property, equally suited to a discerning private buyer or an investor seeking a turnkey hospitality business with an established track record.
