Wonderful Olhao Apartment
From excellent communication with the owner by email to a professional and very helpful welcome on arrival, we were so impressed. The apartment is large, immaculate, spotless, with everything you could possibly need. The spacious balcony looks over the salt pans towards the sea and coastline towards Faro. The rooftop plunge pool is amazing for views, cleanliness and tranquility. The beds were very comfortable and linen, towels all fresh. Two bathrooms and another toilet! The kitchen is so well stocked - games, books, wifi, dvds (couldn't get the dvd player to work but weren't worried enough to sort it out). Olhao is a gem. Fabulous restaurants, very few tourists, great marina and harbour, superb fish, fruit, veg market, lovely streets to wander through with cafes and boats to the island beaches. We can't thank the owners and agent enough for such an amazing and stress free holiday accommodation. Thank you.

Wonderful fortnight in Olhao
What a gorgeous apartment to stay in during the winter months. It has a perfect view out over the salt lakes towards the sunset from the balcony. We stayed for 2 weeks over Christmas and New Year, with family staying nearby in two other apartments in the same complex. Our flat was the nicest by far, its kitchen was very well equipped and we had plenty of space to host Christmas dinner and other meals for 8 adults and a child. I was very pleased with the choice of flat. Checking in was very easy with Eduarda Barbara's help (the property agent) and the flat was spotless when we arrived. We loved the en suite master bedroom, and the second double bedroom is also a lovely room. We'll definitely return to Olhao and hope to stay here again.

Very satisfied
Having stayed at similar apartments over the years, we knew what to expect from this apartment but were very pleased with not just the lovely place itself but also the perfect view from the large balcony. We had the Ria Formosa in front of us with its resident flamingos plus it was only a very short walk to the supermarket and to the new marina. We definitely recommend this apartment to anyone wanting to stay in Olhao.

Perfect
This is the second time we have stayed in Olhao but the first time in this apartment (although we have stayed in the block before). I would only want to stay in one of the apartments that look out to either the salt flats or the Marina so this one over looking the former was perfect. We got to see the flamingos flying in an out of the lagoon area which was amazing. The apartment has everything you would want/need and was very spacious for the 4 of us (1 couple and two singles). Loads of crockery meant you could make the most of the dishwasher. Communication with both the owners and their agents was great and they were really helpful with an early check-in. Its conveniently located at the edge of town, not far to Lidl (and their cheap and delicious pastel a Nata!) for a supermarket shop or the walk along the front to the centre of town and the restaurants. As we have been to the area before we had a much more chilled stay but enjoyed the trip to Armona on the Ferry and the drive to Fuseta which has a lovely beach. Olhao is only 20 minutes from the airport so is in a great spot for a short break but equaly well located to be able to travel along the Algarve coast. We were lucky with the weather as we had wall to wall sunshine for the whole trip and temperatures in the late 20's which for the beginning of October was unexpected. Would highly recommend

A Super Apartment in a Wonderful Location
This is the third year running when we have stayed in the same Block of apartments facing the salt pans which are a haven for wild birds - especially flamingos. My wife and I were accompanied by another couple of old friends with who we take holidays at least twice a year. We span the age range of 75 to 82 years old and enjoy the fact that the Alhao area is flat which makes for easy walking. We always hire a car for our Portugal holidays which enables us to visit all the lovely places along the Algarve now made really easy by the A22 toll motorway. It was unanimously agreed that this apartment was easily the best of the three we have stayed in and we are very likely to come again. It is nicely furnished and the kitchen was adequate for us to prepare our evening meals. The king size bed in the master bedroom is very comfortable - but the single beds and the double bed in the other bedrooms are rather firm. Some memory foam toppers would be a great addition giving people the ability to have a firm or softer bed for those like us with old bones. The WiFi proved to be reliable and fast but the ladies had to manage for our 12 day stay without their TV soaps etc because British TV in Portugal is as rare as hen's teeth. You can see BBC World news and some USA news channels plus a lot of foreign programmes with English sub-titles. This is not a reflection on the apartment - it is general in Portugal unless you stay in 5 star hotels We used the Lidl supermarket for our daily supplies which is about three quarters of a mile away - or less that 5 minutes by car. Their bread and cakes cooked on the premises are wonderful - especially the rustic baguettes. MacDonalds addicts will find one the same distance away but we all ate healthily and didn't try it. Alhao is a lovely little town with a superb and fascinating fish market, some great restaurants, cafes and some quaint shops. The local authorities are in the middle of a major improvement to the sea front, presumably to attract more holiday makers which should be completed mid-summer. We have no hesitation in recommending this apartment for a relaxing stay in a great location - made even more enjoyable if you hire a car. Their local representative, Maria, whom we have met on previous stays, goes out of her way to provide any assistance you might need and speaks perfect English.

Fantastic Apartment
Four of us enjoyed a 9 night stay in October. The apartment is well situated, immaculate, tastefully furnished, well equipped and enjoys excellent views. The balcony was used by us to enjoy a sundowner of an evening The meet and greet was very efficient by a nice lady called Maria who we had met on previous holidays. Easy access to two supermarkets just 10 minute walk away there is a great farmers market on a Saturday to stock up on fresh vegetables and fruit. Superb restaurants a 10 minute walk away and actually there’s three just two blocks along. There is a shared pool on the rooftop which we didn’t use. Would we book again for this apartment? ABSOLUTELY!

Verified traveller

Couldn't have asked for anything more
A short taxi ride to the apartment from the airport, and we instantly felt at home. We chose not to hire a car, and that proved to be the perfect choice for us, with Olhão town only a 4 minute walk from the apartment. A beautiful, modern and spacious abode. The kitchen and bathrooms were not only clean and fitted with excellent 'mod' cons', but appeared to have just been installed, as did the rest of the apartment. The large front room featuring a large dining table and very comfy sofas, opens onto an equally large balcony perfect for watching the sun go down, meals and resting before heading out into town for the night. The beds in each of the three rooms were very comfortable, and there was more than enough storage space. The black-out shutters (apartment wide) ensured a great nights' sleep too, operated by a simple switch. The easy lift up to the roof gave access to the huge space filled with sun loungers and of course, the pool. Not a huge pool, but perfect for cooling off in and having fun. It was never busy when we were there, and it is empty as certain times. Cooking, cleaning and washing clothes was so easy. And to top it all off, possibly the most secure apartment we have rented. The wifi doesn't quite reach to the furthest room, but why need that? 20 odd MB is fast enough for most needs, and the TV with UK channels is great if you have had too much sun! Definitely recommend this apartment, and we are hopeful to rent this place again.

Book it now! Beautiful apartment in a quiet area with fantastic views
You won’t be disappointed with this beautiful property, as a family of six we have just returned from staying at this great apartment, the photos don’t do it justice, the views from the balcony are amazing. The apartment has everything you could need, stylish but comfortable and the standard of cleanliness is second to none, the roof top pool was very clean and we often found that we had this area all to ourselves. The location is great as it is only a 5 minute walk before you start to reach all the restaurants so it’s close enough but not too close! We took the ferries over to Armona and Farol, Farol was our favourite the waters are so clear and the views are breathtaking, I don’t usually visit the same place twice but I would recommend this apartment and will probably take another trip!!!
