I always wonder why Algarve is not popular as a winter destination... We've spend several days in Faro this January enjoying the sun and the emptiness of the romantic old city. Tivoli was very quiet and we were almost alone in the whole guesthouse. The owner, Sally, was always available and ready to help. The guesthouse is undergoing the renovation,... More

We stayed here for 3 nights in June. The owner was lovely and very willing to help us make the most of our short stay. The location is fantastic for going round Faro. I think maybe we were a bit spoilt with our accommodation in Lisbon for the same price but i thought the room wasn't great. It was quite... More

A friend friend from Tomar was drivng to Faro so we thought we would grab a ride down to see this part of the Algarve. As always, we consulted Tripadvisor for a place to stay, and the glowing reviews led us to the Tivoli! We've taken several days to deciding how to write this review and expresss our shock and...

I have been meaning to write a review for Tivoli for a long time but this is the first chance I've had to actually do so. Tivoli holds a very, very special place in my heart. It has become a sort of refuge for me -- a home away from home. I first visited Faro, and stayed at Tivoli, in... More

Totally agree other people's comments. Sally treated us like friends and family. As we had so many email communications prior to our visit, she gave me a big hug like an old friend when we arrived! She has very good local knowledge, giving good recommendations on where to go or where to eat, even told us which wine is good... More

Sally, the owner of the Tivoli Pension, looked after us so well; it's as if we've been friends for years! She gave us so much information about Faro, from where to eat to how to get about and what was going on in the city. She was able to recommend where to eat and the restaurants gave discounts because we... More

We were in Faro for one night and this pension was absolutely perfect for our needs. Very clean, a tad on the small side for two people, and in an excellent location in Faro. The owner, Sally was absolutely fantastic - very friendly, gave us the lowdown on all the 'right' ad cheap restaurants - two of which we tried... More

We arrived at Tivoli Guest House not quite knowing what to expect but were pleasantly surprised. The guest house is situated in an excellent location overlooking a small square lined with trees. Practically within the 'Old Town' area of Faro and a short walk to the cathedral and marina, this guest house is surrounded by typical Portuguese cobbled streets and... More

During our stay in Lagos we ran into a bit of trouble with a hotel in Faro changing our booking. Faced with nowhere to stay for the evening, we called The Tivoli. Sally (the proprietor) was lovely and welcomed us in. We only stayed one nigt but we enjoyed the experience greatly. Would definitely recomment The Tivoli for young people... More
