Search our Faro vacation homes for your next Portugal vacation. Faro is the capital of Algarve. The city’s Ria Formosa lagoon is a nature reserve of over 170 square kilometers which acts as a home for hundreds of different species of birds during the spring and autumn migratory seasons. The beach is easily accessible just seven kilometers from the city. The region offers an extensive lodging infrastructure with vacation rentals in Faro, hotels, Faro vacation homes and Bed & Breakfasts.

Faro has Arab and Roman ruins but most of today’s attractive older buildings were built after the catastrophic 1532 and 1755 earthquakes. The old part of the city, accessible through the eighteenth-century town gate, the Arco da Vila, is surrounded by Roman walls and concentrates on the grand Largo da Sé. During the summer, the nightlife thrives and is particularly focused in the cobbled Rue do Prior. The most popular club is Millennium III. Browse vacation rentals in Faro and Faro vacation homes now!
