'Alcova do Arco' inside IX century City Walls at Old Town nearby 4 islands

Host was available and helpful. The apartment was strangely configured, but met our needs.

We stayed here for 3 nites the end of Sept. We were not sure what to expect by the pictures online, but it exceeded our expectations!! The apt is in the old walls and you can walk on the top of them to enjoy the beautiful water views and planes arriving. The apt was very clean and had been recently remodeled with new fixtures and showers, yes there are 2 showers! There was also a washing machine and the smallest dishwasher in history, so cute!! Location was perfect, we walked everywhere! Lot's of great restaurants within the walls as well. Faro is a quaint and lovely town, great shops and old buildings, look up to see the storks! The apt has a small patio with wicker chairs that lead out to the courtyard with tables and chairs. It appears to be a bar maybe in high season, but nothing while we were there, although they were setting up to have movie night after we left. The host and groundskeepers were all friendly, although not much english, but we got by. Surprise gift when we arrived was much appreciated!! Our only complaint,,, that we couldn't stay longer!! Highly recommend!

A lovely place within one minute of the Mediaeval town walls and harbour. Lots of space (and two showers - great for a family!). Your host is amazing, communicative with lots of suggestions for restaurants and activities.

The location was amazing. The host was very helpful although sometimes a bit late in responding to messages.The building was old so although charming had it's idiosyncracies.
