Great couple managing this who were very helpful and communicative throughout. Good clean property , very well stocked and we had everything we needed including pool but umbrellas were broken. The surrounding area is still developing so view over waste ground in front not great and local handful of restaurants were very average. However within 15/20 minute walk you can be in very nice old town and marina . V small mini market was also in centre so just stock up just outside area at the start of your break.

Amazing stay in this beautiful apartment. Excellently located in this lovely traditional fishing village, close to everything - shops, markets, restaurants and ferries to the nearby islands, which are stunning! Also train and bus stations where you can go to all the nearby towns. The apartment itself has everything you would need for a wonderful stay. We will definitely be back.

Very clean, kitchen stocked with necessities. Carlos met us upon arrival with water, coffee, fresh fruits and wine. So welcoming! Luisa exchanged fresh linens and towels weekly and always came with a surprise from the market! So thoughtful! The communication with both was excellent! The location allows easy walking to groceries, old downtown shopping and restaurants, and great restaurants at the Marina across the street. Also a great walking trail to the salt flats! A 10-15 minute drive from the airport was convenient, especially for car rentals. We highly recommend the apartment of Carlos and Luisa!

We loved the apartment- it was the perfect base for exploring Olhao and the islands. The apartment itself was clean, spacious and homely and Luisa was a friendly and very helpful host. The lovely and quiet rooftop pool was ideal for us - the children were in it every day! Olhao is a vibrant and relaxed place to stay, with a fantastic array of excellent restaurants- we ate lots of delicious seafood. The islands are lovely. We like quiet beaches and although it was the height of summer, a fifteen minute walk along each island beach took us to beautiful and peaceful spots to while away our days. We couldn't have asked for a lovelier holiday!

Excellent base for summer vacation

The appartment is in perfect condition and well equipped with everything I could think off. Individual A/Cs in the 2 bedrooms and living room.Smooth, quick journey from the airport in about 15 minutes. For a small fee, Carlos picked us up and later drove us back. We got some useful information right away - it cannot be better. The whole family speaks excellent English and communication is very friendly and fast. This quarter with 4-storey apartment buildings is currently under construction, most of it is already finished. Especially the ferry trip to the island of Culatra is highly recommended in summer. The ferry leaves every ~ 2 hours at a walk distance of about 1 km from the appartment.
