Unbelievably excellent property.

This is the best property we have stayed in with VRBO. The apartment was magnificent, beautifully furnished, and of wonderful quality. The rooms were large and elegant. The kitchen was well stocked and electrical equipment all as new. The outside spaces and roof terrace were perfect. The position in the old town was just right. Quiet evenings and bustling with locals during the day. The manager was very helpful and always available. Thank you Fabienne. Nick and SiĂąn.

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.

Belle maison

Bel emplacement et jolie demeure. Proche du centre ville et du port. AccĂšs facile pour la gare d’Olaho. Petit bĂ©mol pour les plages, contrairement Ă  ce qui est indiquĂ© sur l’annonce, il faut emprunter des ferrys situĂ© Ă  300 mĂštres de la maison pour se rendre aux diffĂ©rentes plages. ApprĂ©ciation gĂ©nĂ©rale, nous avons passĂ©s un bon sĂ©jour Ă  Olaho et la grande terrasse Ă©tait trĂšs agrĂ©able.

Wunderbar

Diese Wohnung in der fußlĂ€ufigen Altstadt von Olhao hat in allen Bereichen unsere Erwartungen erfĂŒllt, wenn nicht sogar ĂŒbertroffen. 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!

Olhao review

Loved the location and the pedestrian walk away. Lots of great restaurants around only negative i have is the futon mattress in the small room was extremely uncomfortable. I would stay there again though with less people so I didn’t have to use that room. There was 2 couples and myself as a solo

Top Appartement

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit und eine Woche in dieser bezaubernden Unterkunft verbracht. Wunderschöne Dachterrasse, tolle Mischung aus neuem und altem Design, sehr viel Platz und alles sehr gepflegt. Tolle und aufmerksame Gastgeber, die Unterkunft können wir sehr empfehlen. Von Olhao kann man sehr gut TagesausflĂŒge nach Tavira und Rio Fermosa etc. machen, alles sehr gut mit dem Auto erreichbar. Zu den StrĂ€nden gelangt man ĂŒber die FĂ€hren. Etwas laut ist es, aber das ist auch die Kultur. D.h. fĂŒr nachts Ohrstöpsel einpacken

Ganz wunderbar! Klare Empfehlung.

Das Haus ist wunderschön. Sehr geschmackvoll und mit viel Kunstverstand eingerichtet. Es ist alles vorhanden um einen angenehmen Aufenthalt sicher zu stellen. Die KĂŒche ist perfekt ausgestattet, wenn man bei der grossen Auswahl toller Lokale selber kochen möchte. Wir finden es sogar noch schöner als auf den Fotos erkennbar. Die Lage ist super... Supermarkt, Lokale, Shops, Markthalle, Strand, Bahnhof schnell und einfach erreichbar. Die Dachterrasse ist phantastisch. Die Vermieter sind wirklich sehr, sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir werden gerne wieder kommen und freuen uns schon darauf. Übrigens malt Fabienne Vincent ganz wunderschöne Bilder. Sollte mal eine Ausstellung in der NĂ€he sein : unbedingt hingehen!!

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.
