Faro

Just 30 minutes from Villa Lage, Faro offers a perfect balance between cultural charm and coastal authenticity — a day trip that feels both inspiring and relaxed.

Plan your Stay

The Old Town, encircled by ancient stone walls, invites a quiet stroll through cobbled streets lined with whitewashed houses, galleries, and hidden courtyards. Stop for coffee at a shaded terrace in the Arco da Vila, or visit the Cathedral for its panoramic view over the Ria Formosa lagoon.

 

Art lovers will enjoy the Museu Municipal de Faro, housed in a 16th-century convent, or a visit to the Fábrica da Cerveja, now transformed into a space for contemporary art exhibitions. Shoppers will find elegant Portuguese design at LOULÉ Design Lab or Armazém Central, while those drawn to craftsmanship can explore ceramics ateliers and local linen boutiques tucked within the old streets.
