About this property

Just a quick stroll from the beach, Hotel Farol is located in Praia da Barra, a popular seaside destination along the coast of Aveiro, with a tranquil setting and a scenic landscape. Facing Barra’s lighthouse, Hotel Farol maintains a pleasant atmosphere, thanks to its small number of guest rooms and suites. Each is air conditioned and features a TV and private bathroom. The comfortable accommodation has a themed décor, in line with the seaside setting of the hotel. Free WiFi is available throughout the property. Next to the hotel is Café Farol, one of the area's oldest and most iconic eateries. Here guests can taste a wide range of traditional snacks, drinks, tapas and light meals. The attentive staff at the reception desk is available 24 hours per day. The property is just 50 metres from the emblematic lighthouse that the hotel is named after. Aveiro's centre is 10 km away.
