Central Faro Triplex w/2 Rooftop 2 min walk Marina

Era Mar originated from a rehabilitation project of a typical Algarvian old house, idealized and designed by the hostess. The layout of the house was maintained but the spaces were redesigned in order to make it comfortable, practical and functional. The decoration of the space was inspired by regional tradition and sustainability. The colors used in the decoration are reminiscent of the sea and the Ria, the rocky beaches and fine sand, sunrise and sunset on hot summer days.
