This pet-friendly apartment is less than a 10-minute drive from Faro International Airport. Decorated by a professional interior designer with an art filled ambiance, in which various art works by the artist Marisa Mártires can be seen through out the apartment. It fits 4 people. The name Kwadalayo comes from the South African roots of the artist / designer and owner. In the Zulu language, 'KWA' means 'THE PLACE' and 'DALA' means 'CREATORS'. When we place them together, Kwadalayo means 'THE CREATORS PLACE'. Kwadalayo reflects our philosofy and our way of life. This self-catering unit includes a fully equipped kitchen with a washing machine and a stove and oven. The living room features a dining area with table and chairs and a plush sofa to relax after a tour through the city. Downstairs, guests will find a minimarket and a few cafes.

Ferries to Deserta and Farol Island depart from this area in the summer, and guests can enjoy a boat tour through Ria Formosa Nature Park.
