From the Airport
Taxi
Just pick a car from the arrivals and handle the driver the address: Rua da Mota, Faro. Expect to pay, perhaps, 12 Euros. The precise amount will change accordingly to several factors: time of the day, traffic, honesty of the driver. As a rule of thumb we advise our guests against using taxis. In general, in Portugal. Too many dishonest drivers out there.
Provide the following address to the driver: rua da Mota, 17.
Uber
Uber works quite well in Portugal. You might want to give it a try upon your arrival in the airport although it might be a bit messy to find your meeting point. Cost of the service should be no more than 8 Euros in normal circumstances. Provide the following address to Uber service: rua da Mota, 17.
Bus
Proximo is the name of the city buses. They do run a route from Praia de Faro, stopping in the Airport before heading to the terminal in the center of Faro. It’s the #16. Bus stop is right in front of terminal, across the street. The bus takes about 20 min to reach the bus terminal and from there, 5 minutes walking to our place.
Tickets are bought from the driver and cost 2,35 Euros. Find here a PDF document with the complete timetable (Portuguese only but should be understandable). See bellow how to reach us from the bus terminal.
By Car
You might want to look for our direction in the GPS / Maps software of your preference. If you don’t use one, perhaps you should use a traditional printed map and mark on it our address: rua da Mota, 17.
Parking in our street is not allowed (it’s pedestrian) but it’s usually OK to stop about 20 meters of the house to unload luggage. In a bad day all the space will be taken by other people’s cars but that doesn’t happen often.
Once you reach us, we will help you finding a proper parking spot. There are basically two options: looking for a nearby paying spot or go the the main parking lot which is for free but a bit far. It’s a pleasant 650 meters stroll through the old town.
