Lovely traditional house in a great location. Only a minute away from the markets and bars/restaurants. Five minutes or so walk to the Pingo supermarket. The sun terrace was fantastic, with the balcony down a few steps for a coffee or glass of wine or two. Larger than the photos show, so ideal for couples. We had a lovely time here and will hopefully return!

This is a great location for a stay in Olhao, for enjoying the historic streets and handy for the ferry to the beaches. The bedroom is on the ground floor and we thought it might be noisy but this was not a problem. The quiet A/C in the bedroom was much appreciated! Having a BBQ grill on the balcony was fantastic for cooking the fish from the AMAZING local market which is a couple of minutes walk away. This place is small but has everything you need.

Location was excellent! One block from the market, and a 5 minute walk to a grocery store and parking. But the noise, and music, from the nearby bar was loud and went late into the night. We loved the rooftop patio! The stairs to all levels are very steep and narrow! Kitchen was small but adequate, well stocked with what we needed for meals. Aside from the stairs, the only other negative is that the shower leaked all over the floor, a lot!

Thank you very much for the positive review, I'm pleased you had a good time. I also appreciate your thoughts on the shower. We got a plumber in to investigate and the end result is a brand new shower! This will improve the holiday experience for future guests. Thanks again and we hope to welcome you back soon. Neil.

Everything was great, easy location to get to and using keypad to get in, all went easily enough. The house had everything that you would need, location is excellent too. Communication with Neil was straightforward and he was extremely helpful. If we ever return, which we might we would definitely stay again. Olhao is a beautiful place.

Excellent location to enjoy Olhao, close to the best bars, restaurants, markets and the ferry to the islands. Good sized bedroom with quiet, effective air con. Both terraces are south facing so get a lot of sun! The stairs are steep and narrow but take your time and use the handrail and you'll be fine!

Conveniently located, cosy apartment

This property is excellently located close to Olhao's centre and is a good place from which to explore other spots in the Algarve, along the train line. The property is small but just enough space for 1 or two people, and the roof terrace and balcony are lovely spaces for enjoying the morning and evening sunshine. Communication with the owner/ manager about the property was efficient and very pleasant.
