Ria Formosa guesthouse was new to us; and turned out to be an excellent choice. It is comfortable, with good facilities, and the duty manager was extremely helpful. He happily organised a taxi for us to the airport at 3.50 am, and made sure the taxi firm confirmed it. We would stay there again with no hesitation.
