Lovely house but beware the stairs!

Charming house, immaculate, in a great location. We had booked for ten days. Unfortunately we immediately realised that the steep, narrow and winding stairs was a serious problem. We are two older gentlemen and although reasonably active and mobile we found the stairs a real challenge that would have taken the shine off the holiday. We therefore cut our losses and moved the next day to a splendid and spacious apartment in the Marina Village, a first for us as we had always rented houses in the old town. Gave us a new insight into a wonderful town we know well!

Excellent location

We have booked the same accommodation for 2 months in 2023 so obviously it met our expectations. Here are further details: 1. Location is 5 minutes from downtown. I did not drive a vehicle for 2 months 2. The unit was well equipped for a long term stay. We missed nothing 3. The landlord(s) were always available and responded immediately to my questions. 4. The cobblestone streets and historic location ....gave athe unit a special feeling .

Perfect property and location

Before reviewing this property I first must praise the owner Margarete, who could not have done any more for us to help make our stay as enjoyable as possible. The property is located within 3 or 4 minutes walk of the famous fruit and vegetable, and fish markets. It is ideally positioned to enjoy all of Olhao's many wonderful restaurants. For a couple staying the property is easily large enough, with its modern kitchen/diner and living room space as well as the balcony, plus the bonus of a large roof terrace. Our third year on the run staying in Olhao, and this has been our favourite place to stay.

Appartement tres bien situé dans le centre d'Olhao à 3mn à pied de tous les services. Appartement décoré avec goût et très bien équipé, literie confortable et 2terrasses très agréables. Communication très facile avec Margarete. Une difficulté trouver une place de stationnement mais avec de la persévérance on y arrive. Nous recommandons fortement.

Un peu déçu

Sejour de 4 nuits dans la jolie ville d'Olhao, le gite est correctementéquipé, propre, bonne climatisation, bonne literie, mais avec quelques nuances car il commence a avoir besoin d'une petite remise à neuf. Il est très central du coup le stationnement est vraiment compliqué. Il y a un gros vis à vis du salon avec les autres terrasses, que des rideaux ou un store pourraient attenuer. Un livret d'accueil serait utile. Une taxe de séjour de 2 euros par personne et par jour est à payer en supplément, nous n'en étions pas informés avant.

ein erholsamer Monat im gepflegten Haus

ein angenehmes, sehr gepflegten und landestypischen Haus lag in einer verwinkelten Gasse. Die Umgebung des Hauses war ruhig, obwohl es im Zentrum von Olhao lag. Man kann alles Nötige zu Fuß erreichen und die schöne Promenade befindet sich in einer Entfernung der wenigen Fußminuten. Es war eine Freude, von unseren Unternehmungen nach Hause zurückzukommen, da das Haus uns ein gutes Gefühl gegeben hat.

Entspannter Urlaub

Wir hatten einen wunderbar entspannten Urlaub im Ferienhaus von Margarete. Das Haus liegt sehr zentral und in einer meist ruhigen Straße. Toll war der Check-Inn per Schlüsselbox, so dass wir auch nach Mitternacht ohne Komplikationen anreisen konnten. Margarete war zudem sehr kommunikativ und hat uns bei allen anfallenden Fragen geduldig geantwortet. Für unseren Leihwagen haben wir immer einen kostenlosen Parkplatz in der Nähe finden können. Da wir auch Regentage dabei hatten, wäre es wünschenswert, wenn es auf der oberen Dachterrasse einen regensicheren Platz für die Sofa- und anderen Kissen geben würde, damit sie nicht jedes Mal nass werden. Auch ist einiges an Interieur in die Jahre gekommen, was unbedingt mal erneuert oder ersetzt werden sollte. Trotzdem haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können das Ferienhaus weiterempfehlen.
