A beautiful little room in a wonderful old renovated building. The shared spaces were just lovely, and the room provided the quiet and privacy I appreciate when traveling alone. It was located close to all the action but you felt completely removed from it once inside. I highly recommend this property.

    Really clean way better than I expected! Excellent location on the beach too! Such a great vibe, everyone in the hostel was having meals together and beach parties. Staff were good at making sure noise was down after 10pm too. Felt safe which is a must for a solo female!

    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.

    Great location & always a great atmosphere at the hostel from the guests & volunteers. Amazing views too over the lagoon & 2mins walk from the beach/ocean. Also a great cheap cafe Zee-Za close by & only a short walk for various beach bars & surfing club. Can get to Faro centre by either bus or boat ride! Also a 10min bus ride to Faro Airport.
