About this house rental

The House

The story begins like this, long ago, the Barreta district of the small town of Olhao was inhabited by families of fishermen and merchants. The main fishery in this little corner of the Algarve was octopus and sardines which the fishing families dried on their roof terraces. Today, Olhao is still the largest traditional fishing port in Portugal, and the Barreta district retains its soul of yesteryear. One of its houses, Casa W Olhao is located some three hundred meters from the sea, it is surrounded by other houses of the same type. Renovated, it has two bedrooms which each overlook a different little street and two bathrooms. It is comfortable and on the top floor, you have the choice between a terrace with a beautiful lounge and deckchairs, and another with a barbecue, another lounge area and a table for dining.
Casa W Olhao is a few minutes' walk from the famous covered fish and fruit and vegetable markets, small restaurants and cafes, but remains quiet in the small traditional cobbled streets. The ferry to the islands of Armona, Culatra and Farol also.
Free parking is available on the street, right outside the house. The train station takes you to other towns in the Algarve and to the Spanish border. Faro Airport is just 18 km away. A car is not necessary.
This family house is distributed as follows: on the ground floor, the living room, the separate kitchen and a shower room. On the first floor, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and a nice balcony. On the second floor, a central space opens on each side onto the terraces.

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 .

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.

We had a very relaxing time, the house is as described and very clean. Nice touches included tea, coffee and condiments, the water and wine on arrival were very much appreciated. This house is in a very central location, so no car required, however we were able to park nearby without difficulty. We would love to return!

The house is very nice, clean and well equipped. Located in a quiet neighbourhood, near the centre, the train and bus station and if you have a car, there is enough space to park. If I would go to Olhão again, for sure I would stay here again.
