Accommodated a very late check in due to plane arrival. The room is very clean and spacious. Nice breakfast buffet for small additional cost. ##### Ellen Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Olga 15 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I stayed for 1 night only, the room was very clean and spacious. The hotel located on a quiet corner with a beautiful river view. 15 min walk/7 min drive to the airport. Highly recommend!!! ##### Olga Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria Luiza 13 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very good hotel I had a great stay at this hotel. It was exceptionally clean, and the bathroom was both spotless and spacious. The breakfast is definitely worth it—everything was fresh and well-prepared. The hotel's location is also a major plus, being so close to the airport. We even received a welcome drink upon arrival, which was a nice touch. The staff were very friendly and made the experience even better. I would definitely stay here again. ##### Maria Luiza Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elise 3 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Just returned from an amazing weekend staying at the Ria Formosa. A short walk from the airport, ideal if you’re travelling light. The staff were welcoming and friendly and the room was exceptionally clean. We stayed in the Royal room, it went well above our expectations and the hot tub was lovely and clean. The breakfast was great value for money, everything was fresh and tasty. All in all an absolute hidden gem, can’t think of anything that could have been better and we will definitely be back! Thank you for making our mini holiday so lovely! ##### Elise Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 19 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect stopover We really enjoyed our stay at the aria Formosa Guesthouse. It looks recently built or renovated with a modern and clean design. We used it as a stop over from a late arrival into Faro. It was close to the airport and easy to walk from the next morning to collect an airport car hire. We took a taxi who found it hard to locate at first. Checking Information was clear and included self checkin in case we arrived past midnight. Staff were friendly. The breakfast was inexpensive but delicious and included a wide spread. Our room was huge and had good views over the ria Formosa. I’d stay again! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janelle Van 9 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Amazing boutique hotel with great amenities. The primary reason for this place is its proximity to the airport, but it’s the type of place that would be amazing for more nights, and I wish we had known how much of a gem this place was and we would have stayed longer! We utilized the spa (hot tub, pool and sauna) and even the food at the bar was fantastic with our welcome drinks which were a nice touch. We rented the bikes for an afternoon and biked to the beach for a picnic. Loved our stay and the staff were so nice. Will definitely be recommending the Guest House to friends ##### Janelle Van Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [PortoBay Blue Ocean](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-PortoBay-Blue-Ocean.h14861176.Hotel-Information) > > [AP Cabanas Beach & Nature - Adults Friendly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tavira-Hotels-AP-Cabanas-Beach-Nature.h1094212.Hotel-Information) > > [Iberostar Selection Lagos Algarve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagos-Hotels-Iberostar-Selection-Lagos-Algarve.h3768182.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Residences Salgados Resort, Algarve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Marriott-Residences-Salgados-Resort.h4327685.Hotel-Information) > > [The Patio Suite Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-The-Patio-Suite-Hotel.h1094628.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Atlântico Algarve by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Kimpton-Atlantico-Algarve.h3036868.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Gale Collection Praia Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Hotel-Vila-Gale-Praia.h889935.Hotel-Information) > > [NAU Salema Beach Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vila-Do-Bispo-Hotels-Salema-Beach-Village.h15175162.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Alvor Algarve - All Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Tivoli-Alvor-Algarve-Resort.h33811605.Hotel-Information) > > [Monica Isabel Beach Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Monica-Isabel-Beach-Club.h1515542.Hotel-Information) > > [Martinhal Sagres Beach Family Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sagres-Hotels-Martinhal-Sagres-Beach-Family-Resort.h3091253.Hotel-Information) > > [NAU Sao Rafael Suites – All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Sao-Rafael-Suite-Hotel.h1210300.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Cliffs Residence, a Luxury Collection Resort, Algarve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Pine-Cliffs-Residence.h904328.Hotel-Information) > > [Tivoli Carvoeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Tivoli-Carvoeiro.h891221.Hotel-Information) > > [Monte Santo Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Monte-Santo-Resort.h2135874.Hotel-Information) > > [Paraiso Albufeira](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Paraiso-Albufeira.h1197274.Hotel-Information) > > [Auramar Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Auramar-Beach-Resort.h1158731.Hotel-Information) > > [Jupiter Albufeira Hotel - Family & Fun - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Jupiter-Albufeira-Hotel-Family-Fun.h27232572.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Cliffs Hotel, a Luxury Collection Resort, Algarve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Pine-Cliffs-Hotel.h4071.Hotel-Information) > > [PortoBay Falésia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-PortoBay-Falesia.h1787641.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Muthu Forte do Vale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Grand-Muthu-Forte-Do-Vale.h7421149.Hotel-Information) > > [Cascade Wellness Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagos-Hotels-Cascade-Wellness-Resort.h4018224.Hotel-Information) > > [Muthu Oura Praia Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Muthu-Oura-Praia-Hotel.h2938553.Hotel-Information) > > [Vale d'Oliveiras Quinta Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Vale-DOliveiras-Quinta-Resort-Spa.h3469019.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Marina Portimao Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portimao-Hotels-Tivoli-Marina-Portimao.h976931.Hotel-Information) > > [3HB Guarana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-3HB-Guarana-All-Inclusive.h4813341.Hotel-Information) > > [The Navigator - Solaqua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Luna-Solaqua.h4461872.Hotel-Information) > > [Amendoeira Golf Resort - Apartments and villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Silves-Hotels-Amendoeira-Golf-Resort-Apartments-And-Villas.h3761727.Hotel-Information) > > [Rocha Brava Village Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carvoeiro-Hotels-Rocha-Brava-Village-Resort.h1111695.Hotel-Information)
