Spacious apartment in a fab location

A very spacious, clean and well-equipped apartment in a great location and with fabulous views from the balcony and kitchen across to tidal salt flats. We appreciated the pro-active communications from the owner (Moira) who provided practical information about the apartment, town and general area. We were greeted and shown around by the delightful property manager (Eduarda) having been kindly granted an early check-in and left with a very generous welcome pack. This property offers a safe location, plentiful parking right outside, easy access to the fourth floor in a fast, modern elevator, and ready access to a roof-top terrace with wonderful views (sadly we didn't brave the pool). Olhao is an up and coming town which blends tradition with responsible tourism, offering many simple and appealing pleasures such as waterfront walks, ferry rides to nearby islands, and a wide range of restaurants, not to mention a superb fish and fruit/veg market and excellent local supermarkets. It's an easy 15-minute car journey from Faro airport and a great base to explore other gems of the Eastern Algarve, such as Tavira, Fuseta and Santa Luzia. We were fortunate to experience a week of almost unbroken winter sunshine and returned home refreshed after a relaxing break based in this excellent, quality apartment.

A great family holiday

We had a lovely relaxed holiday at this beautiful villa, thank you. The pool is lovely, a perfect temperature and with such a beautiful outlook down towards the Ria Formosa. We found the location really easy for visiting the main attractions in the area, the beaches are beautiful. The villa is clean and for the most part well appointed with everything you need. We found the lack of an oven a slight challenge for cooking, so ended up purchasing an air fryer which did the job. We had a couple of minor issues whilst we were there which were dealt with very efficiently. Thank you.

Family holiday

Our family had a wonderful stay at the villa. The villa is beautiful, well equipped with a lovely pool and garden with various comfortable seating areas. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with cooking utensils. It is in a good position, not far from Faro and Olhão. There is lots to do in the area: We took the ferry from Olhão and walked to a really lovely beach on Aromna Island with lunch at a very good beach cafe. We had a delicious meal in Faro old town and walked into Estoi for some extra food shopping and visited the lovely palace and had an early evening drink in the palace restaurant. We also drove into the mountains and walked the boardwalk and over the suspended bridge in Alferce, near Monchique. We’d love to come back sometime.

The Villa is better than the Ad

I will summarise the best I can about the Villa: 1. What you see in the picture is the same if not better live. Everything is so well kept that is indistinguishable; 2. Everything inside the house is great quality: Oven, washing machine, dryer, aircon, cable TV, etc; 3. On the aircon, there is no limit on the usage as I have seen before in other properties which I'll never return; 4. If nice and quiet is what you want the house has the perfect location. Restautants, market, city, etc are all around 5 to 15 min from the house; 5. Only thing you may need to take is your speaker for some music. 6. There are 3 Fridges! Beers always cold.

Perfect spot for a break away in the sunshine

We absolutely loved this villa. Overall cleanliness was fantastic and having 3 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms was ideal for a large family. Location wise, we knew it was set in a rural area which was exactly what we were looking for however it is only a 15 to 20 minute drive to the bigger towns. The smaller villages are within a shorter distance. The welcome we received was also fantastic and if we needed to get in touch with the owners whilst there, we just had to text. Overall, we loved it so much, we're looking at booking again next year!

Just perfect!

A beautiful villa and surroundings and equipped with everything needed for an amazing holiday! Krysia & Russell were fantastic hosts and nothing was too much trouble. Thoroughly recommended for a quiet and relaxing break but close enough to all the amenities and less than half an hour away from the airport although you’d never know! Thank you so much!
