The flat was located in the perfect location to explore all that Olhâo has to offer. Everything you could possibly need was within easy walking distance. Fabienne, HP and Maria were available to answer any questions we had. Lovely people with a lovely flat. Would definitely go back next time we’re in the area.

This first floor house is a wonderful mix of modern and traditional in the heart of Olhao surrounded by narrow pedestrian streets full of cafes and restaurants. We loved the roof terraces, and the large living room giving plenty of space to spread out and relax. There is excellent Air Conditioning in the living room and two of the bedrooms. The bathrooms are clean and modern. The location is perfect a few minutes walk to the harbour and famous markets. Just a short walk further and you are at the ferry to Armona and Culatra. Maria was great in helping us with local knowledge and arranging a boat trip. So many excellent restaurants nearby you would need a month's stay to sample them all. Very easy to get to from Faro airport, just 14 euros Uber journey. We arrived very late and made arrangements to pick up the keys. Fabienne and Maria gave excellent communication and instructions. We stayed for 7 days and will definitely return.

Our Wonderful Olhao Vacation

What a beautiful home. From the exquisitely carved front door to the extraordinary outdoor space, this flat provided everything we needed, along with some things we didn’t even know we’d want. The beautiful, big outdoor awning to provide shade during the hotter parts of the day was one of those things! We have traveled to other European cities and we usually rent a flat for a few weeks. However, none have been completely furnished, well laid out floor plan, and provided as good a kitchen, modern bathrooms and showers, a really good washing machine, and lovely bedrooms and living areas. The combination of the age of the building (quite old I’m sure) with the updated conveniences was perfect. The faux marbled walls are beautiful! Two bathrooms are an excellent advantage. The location is ideal! Steps away from the waterfront, The Pingo Doce Grocery Store as well as the markets made for ease of shopping. And ice cream treats daily. Maria, the house caretaker, is amazing. Never loses her cool, can’t help enough, and she knows the area so well we could count on her for any questions, recommendations, and being a good friend. We fell in love with Olhão, the charm of the village, and we are already planning our next visit to the house.

Beautiful Property in Olhao

It has been beautifully restored by the skilful owners, with generous rooms. We were met by a very helpful friend of the owners, who showed us round the property, and offered recommendations and explained how everything worked. She was available to answer questions, and she and the owners were keen to ensure all was well throughout our stay. The place is very well equipped and was spotlessly clean. There is a great deal of outside space for relaxing, including BBQ facilities. Everything one needs is close by, with superb restaurants and well-stocked supermarkets. I would highly recommended this property

Our Stay in Olhauo

The apartment is located in the center of the Olhauo old town, very close to the market, harbor and many restaurants. The area around the aparment was clean and safe. The house was very well kept and beautifully renovated with an eye for nice details. The two bathrooms were modern and very clean. The large kitchen is very well kept and provides the possibility to prepare meals. The beds were comfortable. The two terraces were set up nicely with places to sit and enjoy the nice view of the city. Our contact Henri was very nice and was available for any needs we had. We had a great time and hope to be able to go back for a visit one day.

Nous avons passé un bon séjour dans l’hébergement. Merci à Maria pour son accueil et sa sympathie. Nous recommandons les lieux car ils sont très agréable, la ville est très complètes avec de belles places et beaux magasins. Le seul point plus compliqué est le manque de stationnement, car il n’y a très peu de places disponibles gratuites proche du logement.

Die Wohnung ist sehr geräumig und toll eingerichtet und mit selbst gemachter Kunst bekommt sie ein sehr persönliches Ambiente. Die Lage ist toll und die schöne Terrasse haben wir gefeiert.

Belle maison

Bel emplacement et jolie demeure. Proche du centre ville et du port. Accès facile pour la gare d’Olaho. Petit bémol pour les plages, contrairement à ce qui est indiqué sur l’annonce, il faut emprunter des ferrys situé à 300 mètres de la maison pour se rendre aux différentes plages. Appréciation générale, nous avons passés un bon séjour à Olaho et la grande terrasse était très agréable.

Wunderbar

Diese Wohnung in der fußläufigen Altstadt von Olhao hat in allen Bereichen unsere Erwartungen erfüllt, wenn nicht sogar übertroffen. Wir, vier Freundinnen, haben zwei wunderbare Wochen an der Algarve verbracht, wobei die außerordentlich stil- und geschmackvoll eingerichtete Wohnung, ausgestattet mit allem Notwendigen, einen nicht unerheblichen Anteil hatte. Von unserer Seite eine 100%-ige Empfehlung!

Belle maison de caractère

Notre séjour dans la maison de Fabienne a été formidable. C’est une maison magnifique, très confortable, extrêmement propre et idéalement placée dans Olhao. Au moment de la réservation, Fabienne a été très disponible pour répondre à nos questions. À notre arrivée nous avons eu un accueil extrêmement chaleureux de Maria qui nous a aussi bien expliqué le fonctionnement de la maison que les activités à faire aux alentours… et nous a même montré où il était pratique de se garer . Un grand merci aussi à Maria pour sa gentillesse et sa disponibilité. Une adresse à ne pas rater !!! Nous reviendrons
