    Hi I have just booked flights to Faro for a week in August arriving on 21st.
    I am looking for a good value self catering accommodation for just 2 people.
    I am thinking of places outside of the usual resorts, but as I do not want to hire a car it has to be reachable by bus or train.
    Can anyone recommend locations that I may find good price accomadation
    I know this is high season. I have looked on booking.com and in the main resorts prices are 800 + for very basic places.
    We like walking and cycling and a few local bars will do us for nights
    We are thinking of spending 2 nights in Faro and possibly 5 nights elsewhere
    Is this a good idea

    Try the Pestana Viking in Armacao de Pera
    Its a nice hotel on the beach
    Nice bar outside the door
    Great beach 5 min away (there is one out the front to the right, but there is a hidden beach just 100m up from the hotel where there is a little lane that takes you down hidden steps to Praia Cova de Redonda - a hidden gem and very quiet) and the town of Armacao is a 20min walk away with loads of restaurants
    We stayed there in 2013 and its a nice little spot
