At the hostel the rooms include air conditioning, a desk, a terrace with a city view, a private bathroom, a flat-screen TV, bed linen and towels. All rooms will provide guests with a wardrobe and a coffee machine.

The room was very clean, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The owner takes care of the guests in an excellent way by preparing fruits and wine for their use, so you can try that. I have never slept on such a comfortable bed. The bathroom is very large and comfortable. Everything was well-prepared.

The property is located 25 km from Vilamoura Marina, 28 km from Island of Tavira and 42 km from Algarve Shopping Center.

The hostel is amazing, the crew is super nice and helps you whenever you have a problem, there’s also a WhatsApp group to organize parties or tell the reception to set the AC. There are different kind of parties every nights and it’s really cool. The bathroom are super clean, and it’s the same for the kitchen and the common areas. The lounge area is super comfy with big bean bags and sofas, there’s also the AC so it’s a very pleasing place to stay when it’s very hot outside (as often in faro). Unfortunately there’s not a proper bar area but you can buy wines, beer, ciders, softs … at the reception which is still very nice. They also offer you to keep your luggages in the back in case you’re there before the check in time.

This is not the typical hostel with bunkbeds. I almost had the feeling I was staying in my bed at home. The room was spacious, the beds comfortable and the bed sheets smelt well. But my stay would not have been the same if Miguel, the receptionist, would not have been there. He is very friendly and welcomed me warmly every time. Thank you, Miguel!

    Casa da Madalena is in a great location, especially for the airport to hostel bus, no. 16, as well as the boats to the islands and old town. Very friendly and helpful staff who named a few local authentic restaurants to eat very good food. Safe and relaxed atmosphere and easy to chat to other travellers. Pancakes great of course, and a nice way to meet everyone and have small talk or make plans for the day.
