Five* Apartment with Beautiful Sea Views from the Balcony

We offer a deluxe 3 bedroom / 2 bathroom / 3 toilet apartment in Village Marina, Olhao, Eastern Algarve, next to the 5 star ‘Real Marina’ hotel (WIFI, spa and gym available). Our apartment looks out over the waterfront and marina and is only a few minutes’ walk from the old town, the famous fish/vegetable markets and the ferries out to the Islands of Armona, Culatra, and Farol, known for their miles of seemingly endless white sandy beaches. Situated only 16km east of Faro airport it is a very short drive to your holiday home. The spacious well-appointed accommodation is fitted out to an exceptionally high standard throughout, including DVD, satellite TV (English language channels), washing machine/dryer, dishwasher and central vacuming system.

The roof-top pool area offers uninterrupted sunshine along with social and leisure spaces which enjoy amazing views of the Reserva Natural da Ria Formosa. We are more than happy if you wanted to book with us direct.

Very spacious, well equipped and comfortable apartment. The property manager was very helpful and friendly, and we were able to check in early. Best thing about the apartment is the amazing view from the balcony; watching flamingos on the salt flats opposite as we ate our breakfast was wonderful. Many great restaurants within 10-15 minutes walk, and about 20 minutes walk to the ferry.

A really wonderful apartment in Olhao

We arrived in Olhao and met Maria for the key exchange. She was very nice and quickly showed us around the apartment to familiarize us. The apartment is well stocked with everything you"ll need for your stay. The location gives you a view of the Rio Formosa, In the afternoon you get the warmth of the sun. We spend many hours on the rooftop terrace by the pool to enjoy the sun and relax. The location of the apartment is excellent and its a short stroll to the restaurants and Market. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it if your coming to the Algarve area

Great stay in the Algarve!

We had a great stay in this spacious apartment. Nice balcony overlooking the sea and the salt mining area. Two and a half bathrooms, three bedrooms and large living room, perfect for our family of five. The town of Olhão is still quiet and very cosy. Two remarks (which the owner can't do anything about): - It gets really hot in the kitchen due to the fact that for some strange reason it has no blinds (all other windows have them). Best to let it air out as much as possible. - The large parking area seems to attract a lot of youth with noisy cars in the weekend. Would recommend for everyone looking for a good stay in the beautiful town of Olhão!

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.

Fantastic !

Apartment Real Marina is fantastic! Tastefully decorated; well rested; perfect WiFi; good beds and a lovely terrace. The apartment is located on the outskirts of Olhao. Supermarkets and other necessary facilities can be found a short distance away and the center of Olhao is only a 15-minute walk away. Furthermore, Olhao is centrally located for discovering the east coast of the Algarve. The communication, information and contact with the owner is smooth and responds quite immediately. The reception/contact with the local representation Mrs. Eduarda, was cordial and pleasant. All in all, we really enjoyed our two-week holiday in Olhao. Highly recommended! Alexander NL

Absolutely Fab

We recently returned from a week in Olhao, based on the recommendation of some friends. The choice of the accommodation was brilliant. For us the benefit is the ideal location. Only 20 mins from the airport and easy to reach by both car or taxi. Good parking. You are then central to explore Portugal and some of its beautiful islands. The apartment was very spacious and decorated/furnished to a high standard. We have always stayed previously in the 5 * Sao Rafeal Hotel but found this apartment even better than that. The owners are very accomodating and cater for all you requirements. Their attention to detail in the apartment is spot on, from the crisp white linen sheets, soft towels to all the essentials for a great picnic on the beach. The view from the apartment overlooks the sea, has a beautiful sunset and nature reserve opposite. Would highly recommend the apartment and would definitely return.

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.

Fantastic apartment and location in the amazing Ria Formosa

Having breakfast on the balcony watching the flamingoes circling over the marshes in front of you is something else. At high tide the mud flats and marsh are covered but at low tide a whole different world comes to life. Cranes, storks and many wading birds are busy feeding. The local fisherman and women are busy harvesting the cockles and razor clams. We loved taking the frequent ferries out to the islands. Loved Culatra and Farol. Came back on the last ferry as the sun was setting. You can always get a water taxi back if you miss the last ferry. Olhao has its own charm. It's a relaxed place with delicious restaurants at reasonable prices. The old town is interesting to explore. We didn't have a car and were able to walk to ferries or the train station to go further exploring. The best thing we did was the Dolphin Watching out at sea. The children loved the roof top pool and used it every day. The apartment was well equipped and spacious and we felt at home staying here.

This apartment is part of a lovely development in the beautiful town of Olhao. The apartment has everything a family could need, the air conditioning in every room is much appreciated and the swimming pool on the roof is ideal - either for a lazy day or after a day on the beach.

Olhao is top.

Een prachtig appartement op de 2e etage. Groot en schoon, 3 slaapkamers en 2 fijne badkamers met genoeg handdoeken voor een week. Ruime keuken met alle mogelijke apparaten. Op het dak van het gebouw is een zwembad en kan je heerlijk zonnen, als het weer meezit. Het flatgebouw ligt even buiten Olhao en als je geen auto hebt is het wel 25 minuten lopen naar een supermarkt. Maar je loopt langs het water met de bootjes dus het is een lekkere wandeling. Wat ik wel miste is het strand. Je kan met een ferry wel mooie stranden bezoeken, maar even lekker met je voeten in het zand in de buurt van je huis was er niet bij. Olhao zelf is leuk met al de smalle straatjes en oude panden. Heb je goede benen en hou ja van lopen dan raad ik deze flat zeker aan.

Vi storkoste oss i den flotte leiligheten! Leiligheten var større enn forventet, og hadde alt en trengte for et fint opphold. Veldig god beliggenhet med kort avstand til butikker og restauranter. Det var et veldig stille område. Å reise ut til øya Armona var helt magisk. Vi kommer gjerne tilbake!

Appartement ligt heel dicht bij de Marina, dus je steekt de weg over en neemt de boot naar een van de eilanden. Wij hadden gekozen voor Farol, heerlijke ligbedden, top beachbar en prachtig helder water.
