The place was exactly as described and pictured. It is a great place to stay in Faro due to its perfect location and modern amenities. Both the owner and the property manager were easy to work with and made booking and checking in and out a breeze. The name “Crow’s Nest” is very apropos! Check it out and enjoy all that Faro has to offer.

We enjoyed a lovely 8-day stay at the Crow's Nest while attending a wedding and spending time vacationing in the area. After exploring the entire Algarve area from Sagres to Tavira, we can confidently say there is no better central location in southern Portugal than Faro and the Crow's Nest within the old fortress could not have made for a better location. It put us within walking distance of the Porta Nova boat ferry for access to the offshore islands, the train station, as well as fantastic restaurants and sightseeing. And airport was a quick taxi ride away. Lizzy's communication was so kind and straightforward and Daniel greeted us, saw us off and was quickly responsive with any questions we had during our stay. The Crow's Nest had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and was such a retreat after our full days kayaking and sightseeing in the Algarve. We are already planning our next trip to explore more of Portugal as we consider the possibility of seasonally living abroad, and will absolutely stay at the Crow's Nest again when we return to the Algarve. Thank you Lizzy!
