Our stay in Faro couldn't have been better. Lovely accomodations. Exactly as pictured. The rooftop deck was such a nice touch after a long day.Lizzy thought of everything for this to truly be home away from home. Incredibly close to the marina to catch the Ferry's to the beaches. So many great restaurants, little shops, you name it. The history is magnificent. I HIGHLY recommend anyone stay here and we will definitely be back! It was clean, comfy and relaxing!

Just returned from a wonderful 10 days stay at the Crows Nest. It is a perfect base for exploring the Algarve, nestled within the historic old town walls of Faro. The accommodation was immaculate with lots of extra little touches, and the rooftop terrace is a cosy place for enjoying a morning cuppa or evening glass of wine. There were so many lovely restaurants within a short walking distance, we visited a different one every evening. Great communication from Lizzy. Would highly recommend!

Great stay!

We loved our stay in the Crow’s Nest. Everything in Faro was under a ten minute walk away. It was a great base for exploring the region. We ate some delicious meals in town, and cooked our own meals in the well appointed kitchen. The apartment was quiet and heated. We would definitely come again!

Great Location in Old Town

The property was very comfortable for our group of four seniors. It is easy to walk to the shops and restaurants outside the wall. The rooftop patio is small, but we enjoyed spending a bit of time there each evening. The property is equipped with everything you will need for a lovely stay.

Perfect location in the Old Town with views from the roof terrace over the rooftops to the Cathedral and Ria Formosa. A stone's throw from the jetty for boats to the beaches/islands and easy distance to restaurants all over the town and the bus station. Great sized accomodation for a family of 4 to chill out and cool down. Owner in UK and manager in Faro both very helpful and friendly. Would recommend!

Cutest Place in Best Location

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.

Faro Fado Fabulous

Staying with close friends from Australia, another couple. House set up very easy to use and location well situated. Had all the things needed to make the stay a happy time. Old town shops and restaurants nearby. We recommend the fado guitar at the tourist centre, just outside the cathedral gates. The only negative thing about the trip was I wasn’t allowed to buy and take home a fado guitar :(. (Guitar shop to get one if your other half allows is Tino’s music store).

The Crow's Nest is located in Faro's Old Historic Town with numerous restaurants within the Old Town that are always busy. The cathedral is also nearby and the tolling of its bells on the half and hour is very melodious and something to look forward to.The Crow's Nest is completely refurbished and it is clear great time and effort went into creating a most wonderful home to stay. One of its features is the upper rooftop deck which is perfect for late day planning, catching up and viewing the surrounding sites from atop, e.g., waterfront, etc.The home is just as described on the listing - clean, modernized and the kitchen offers everything one needs to make in-home meals. The bedrooms and bathrooms offer spa-like amenities. The 'host' and 'property manager' are wonderful to work with - each is very accommodating and focused on you enjoying the Crow's Nest and the home, itself.It is the perfect location both for touring Faro - its local restaurants, not to be missed sights, grocery shopping and so on. Faro is central so that our visits to East and West Algarve were very easy to arrange and manage - again, the perfect location.We will remember the Crow's Nest and Faro with fondness - it is very peaceful and taking in the culture and ways of the Portuguese peoples was an experience we will treasure.Thank you Lizzy (host) and Daniel (property manager) - it was a sincere pleasure to get to know you and we love the Crow's Nest.

Five star stay for our vacation

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!
