About

Our house, belonging to one of the oldest families in Albufeira, is located in the heart of the Old town known as the 'Baixa' and was completely remodeled in 2017 in order to offer our guests the standards of comfort possible.

Attached you will find the famous Café Mané (limited opening hours) where you can enjoy breakfast and brunch á lá carte.

Our hostel is located only 5 minute from the main beach Praia dos Pescadores. The vibrant city centre with its bars, stores and restaurants is as well just 5 minutes away.

Just vis-á-vis you will find the city bus (GIRO) stop 'Albufeira Central', which is connected to the entire town.There is also a central taxi station just around the corner.

An array of activities can be enjoyed in the surroundings, including hiking along our unique coasts or by participating on a spectacular surf session in one of our beautiful beaches or day trips to other nearby villages and cities.

The hostel is 600 metres from Old Town Square, 250 metres from Fisherman's Beach and 1,5 km from Albufeira Marina. Faro Airport is 46 km away.
