We take a look at hotels in Faro, Portugal

Tourism is the main source of income for this region with millions of visitors flocking there every year. The temperatures in Faro even in January are very clement for us Brits used to chills and snow and with a flight time of only two and three quarter hours from London and no time difference it is a very easy journey to make to the sun.

As you may imagine for a region so dependent on tourism, there are many hotels to choose from to suit any budget and group size. We like the look of the Hotel Monaco. The closest hotel in the town to the airport, this is well situated for many of the local attractions and enjoys a clientele from all over the world. Rooms are comfortable and well equipped and the hotel restaurant serves a good range of dishes. There is a bar and outdoor swimming pool for you to use and a minibus shuttle service to and from the airport, beach and town centre.
