"Very welcoming and friendly staff. Charming little hotel, filled with lovely touches (including herbal tea delivered to your room every evening to help you unwind). Lovely to have breakfast in the sunshine by the pool. I’ll be back. "
"We stayed three nights at Roaz de Bandeira House. It was very close to the train station and only a 15 minute walk to the waterfront and ferry to the nearby islands with beaches. Our hosts were very friendly and gave us a wonderful orientation to the area. Breakfast each day was delicious and very generous."
"This property was absolutely lovely.
We booked late on our night of arrival, past 11pm, and the owner, Gino, was waiting for us when we got there.
Our room was cozy, and comfortable, but the star of the show were the three private balconies outside.
Overlooking the sea, with a great view, glorious sunshine and comfortable sofas, it was the perfect way to end an evening, and start the day.
Speaking of starting the day, Gino’s wife Rose provides a fresh breakfast in the morning you can take in...
"Good base for the area, car recommended as limited options for dining in the local area. Rooms are great, cleaned daily. Pool areas are good, not crazy busy, plenty of sun loungers. "

Very friendly place. Lots of restaurants to choose from and good train station that links to the rest of Algarve and beyond. A ferry that links to rio formosa . Everything is walkable and flat . A really interesting place to visit.

Olhau is a hidden gem in Portugal. Don't tell people about it as it needs to remain unspoiled and not crowded with tourists. It's the real Algarve.

Olhao is a typical coastal fishing town. A close knit and welcoming community which is thriving and growing (hopefully it won't grow too much or too quickly). Ria Formosa is an area of natural beauty. And it's impossible to have a bad meal!

Make sure to take the ferry to the Islands Culatra and Armona were our favourite. Also dine at Cha Cha Cha and Pizza De Pedro but make sure to book before you go as they get very booked up

We really liked Olhaio itself and the ferry trip from here. It is also a very good location for visiting Taviera and Faro.

It is a working town rather than a tourist destination which is why we chose it.

"Great place to stay and explore the area. A bit out of the way to albufeira but great value for money.
Staff were friendly and helpful. The place is clean and well maintained. Don’t let the outside put you off. Inside is great. Each room has an aircon. Towels and accessories supplied too. Buffet breakfast is available as well. Will 100% recommend Bela Ria"
Renovated country house with large garden and swimming pool
10/10 Excellent
"Our overall stay was great! Isabel was so good at coming and keeping the grounds of the property and the pool maintained whilst we were there and was responsive when we notified her of a small problem with the pool. She was very friendly and helpful.The villa was beautiful and had everything we needed. We had a couple of minor points that have not affected our opinion but may be worth mentioning and that is that the beds are quite hard and take a bit of getting used to if you are used to a softer mattress and the fridge didn’t seem to get very cold downstairs.Also, the walk into Fuseta is about 20-30 minutes so worth noting if you don’t drive, however, we were happy to walk to restaurants in the evening and found it cheap to get Ubers back.Overall, we loved our stay. Thank you! "

"It’s small, but there is everything what you need, even more. It’s very clean. We stayed for 8 days and after four days they cleaned the studio, we had fresh linens and towels, which I appreciate very much. The owner is very friendly and nice. He even advised us on interesting places to visit. We didn’t have any problem. Thank you for everything"
