Olhao

Very well equipped with many unexpected extras ( cold box/ freezer blocks/ sun brollies), available to use . The arrival was well hosted and we were made to feel very welcome . Loverly property inside , and the 2 rooftop patio areas , together with the additional kitchen facilities on the top floor really made it an enjoyable place to stay . Situated on a quiet street in the old town , but only a short walk to bars restaurants the markets and Ferry's .

Comfortable property in a great location

This house was as expected for a converted fisherman's house in the centre of the old town. Very well equipped, with everything we needed and more. Comfortable bed, decent showers and lovely terraces. It was great having the option of two terraces on opposite sides of the house, so we could have sun or shade as we wished. Great location for many restaurants, and very handy shop just around the corner. Very short walk to the seafront and ferry.

A beautiful house in an interesting town

The house was beautiful, very stylish, clean and well equipped. We particularly liked the roof terraces. Olhao was very interesting and not a tourist place. The house was only 15 minutes from the port so it was easy to see the islands.

Das Haus hat eine sehr gute Lage in der Altstadt. Es ist überaus gut mit allem ausgestattet, was man für einen schönen Aufenthalt benötigt. Es gibt sogar eine Tasche für den Strand und Sonnenschirme! Alles war sehr sauber, tolle Betten, und auch sehr schön eingerichtet. Der Kontakt vorab zum Besitzer und Cristina vor Ort war auch klasse. Es gibt sogar eine Kleine Info-Broschüre mit Infos zum Haus und netten Restaurants und Geschäften. Von uns gibts 100 von 100 Punkten.

Sehr schönes Haus mit zwei wundervollen Dach-Terrassen. Alle Schlafzimmer klimatisiert und mit Deckenventilator. Gute Kaffeekapselmaschine vorhanden. Schön war, da wir abends angekommen sind, dass sowohl eine Flasche Wasser als auch eine Flasche Rosé im Kühlschrank auf uns gewartet haben. Eine Schale mit frischem Obst rundet den sehr fre7ndlichen Empfang ab. Empfehlenswert.

In wenigen Gehminuten erreicht man alle Geschäfte und Restaurants, sowie den Hafen mit Fähranleger. Trotz zentraler Lage ist es dort ruhig zu wohnen mit toller Atmosphäre. Das Bett ist super bequem und alles blitzblank. Nach einer Woche gab es eine Zwischenreinigung mit frischer Wäsche. Unsere Erwartungen wurden voll erfüllt. Herzliche Grüße an Samuel Jutta und Uwe

Perfekte Lokation in Olhao

Alles war perfekt.Cristina hat uns die Schlüssel übergeben und Alles erklärt. Das Haus ist sehr sauber, mit gut ausgestatteter Küche sowie Sommerküche auf dem Dach und zwei tollen Dachterrassen, welche wir täglich zum Frühstücken oder Chillen nutzten. Zum Fischmarkt und Bäcker sind es nur wenige Meter. Einen Parkplatz haben wir immer vor dem Haus vorgefunden. Perfekt für zwei Ehepaare, da die Schlafzimmer in gegengesetzter Richtung angeordnet sind und das Haus zwei Bäder hat. Es gab keinen Stress.
