About this house rental

During its tasteful renovation project in 2003, Casa Da Esquinha was transformed into a modern 'upside down house'. The en-suite air conditioned bedroom is located on the ground floor, keeping it cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The open plan living room and kitchen are on the first floor with convenient large french style windows opening onto the sun drenched terrace with BBQ and outside dining. This south facing property benefits from the abundant Algarve sunshine all year round. The upper roof terrace is an added bonus and a great place to sip a glass of wine or a beer and top up your tan! Wi Fi is provided at no extra cost! I recommend bringing a tablet or large phone to enable you to watch all your favourite channels. All the attractions that entice holiday makers to Olhao are on the door step. The sea is about 100 metres away as are the famous markets. The restaurants, coffee shops and bars are literally just around the corner, in fact, as everything is so convenient, you may decide that you do not need a car. Please note, like the vast majority of Olhao townhouses, the stairs are narrow and steep, though not plentiful. Although acceptable to most people, please consider this if you have any fitness or injury concerns.

100m from municipal market (awesome place for fish, meat and vegetables), a beautiful building, and 300m from ferry to Armona, Culatra and Farol islands, great beaches. ONLY downside is the lack of AC on top floor.

There was no shade on a very small balcony, not even a sun brolly and the sun was on the balcony all day. The sun brolly on the roof terrace was not in a position that could offer any shade and was fixed to the wall and so could not be moved to a better position.There was no comfortable seating on the balcony.Shower did not drain. hanging space was only in the cleaning cupboard. Whole pace in need of serious refurbishment. We know Olhao really well and this house was a huge disappointment.

We had a lovely stay in this quaint townhouse last week. It has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. It’s so close to the restaurants, bars, waterfront and ferries to the beautiful islands. The communication with the owner prior to travelling was prompt and very helpful and we had no issues during our stay. Thank you!

This was our second time staying at this lovely little house. It is right in the centre of everything, 2 min walk to all the bars, market and waterfront. Yes, its small but perfect for our needs. Some reviews have mentioned the steep, narrow stairs. Yes, they are that but as long as you have 2 working legs you're fine. We loved sitting on the balcony in the mornings listening to birdsong and drinking coffee. We have arrived home completely relaxed and if we decide to have another relaxing week in Olhaò, we won't be looking for anywhere else to stay, this home is just perfect XXX

Good location.good kitchen/livingroom. Bedroom damp on arrival,still.damp on departure.stair cases were mentioned as being steep and narrow.until you have to use them you realise that they are very difficult to climb on all 3 levels.all outside balconies had flakey paintwork which could have been easily and cheaply done before our arrival.no handrail on the top staircase to the roof terrace a small folding table and chairs on the roof terracewould improve the area,you have nowhere to sit on the roof terrace only sunbeds.if you have any mobility problems i would not recomend this house.

This upside down house is full of charm tucked right in the centre of Olhao with a 2 min walk to the waterfront, cafés, 2 markets and bars. 5 min walk to the ferry to go to the lovely Armona for a few euros. The house was spotlessly clean, lovely balcony and the kitchen was perfectly adequate to cook our fresh produce from the market. The owner of the property was great at keeping in touch, gave easy directions and how to use the key safe. We loved our stay here and would love to come here again.

Perfect location in the heart of restaurants, cafes and shops, just a few steps from the sea front. Excellent and thorough communication with vendor, supported by a manager. A few tips for cleaning: floor needs a good mop and once in a while a deep clean ie shower, all surfaces. Very dusty and sandy floor but very nice historic building.

This is our 4th time staying in this property. Very clean and suitable for 2 people to have a comfortable stay. Small patio on 2nd floor and a wondeful roof top terrace that gets the sun all day. Situated in a quite cobbled street only minutes away from the sea front and amazing restaurants. Less than 10 min stroll gets you to the train/bus station should you want to visit other towns and to the boat that can take you to a few islands. We will be back .

The house is easy to locate and access is straightforward although in a pedestrian only street. It is near lots of restaurants and the market, a supermarket is 5 min walk away, yet it is also quiet at night. Also near the ferries for visiting the islands. The property is old and charming though that brings its challenges (stairs and light)/airflow, fixtures and fittings could benefit from upgrading.

We have been to Olhão before but stayed in a hotel. We wanted to make use of the wonderful produce in the markets and so decided to rent. Neil's house is brilliantly located just round the corner from the markets and so it was easy to shop for fresh food as and when required. We made full use of the cooking facilities including a great outside barbecue. The house is full of character with its traditional brick ceilings on the ground floor. A comfortable living and cooking area on the 1st and a spacious roof terrace. As it said in the description of the property the stairs are quite tight and steep but if you are careful and take your time they are no problem. The wifi was very good and there was plenty of hot water. There was a good selection of basic necessities either provided by Neil or left by previous tenants which was welcome as we didn't have to start shopping straight away. The only thing I would like to see improved is more and better space for hanging clothes. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would have no hesitation in renting the house again.

Instructions to find property very good. House very clean. Staircase very steep and narrow. 2nd handle rail on staircase coming away from the wall. Lounge/kitchen pleasant. Would have been good if the sofa had been a fold down bed. Thought that there might have been instant coffee, milk or even a bottle of wine to welcome us. So at 19:00 had to set out to find a supermarket - shame there were no instructions as to how to find the nearest one. Instructions as to how the washing machine/microwave/coffee machine worked would have been useful. TV was a waste of space-all we could get was the news from Paris. The balcony was fine when the Tapas bar next door was not being worked on which it normally was between 8am and 6pm. The stairs up to the roof terrace were not good - no handrails-even worse trying to come down. The bedroom was a fair size-shame the bed creaked everytime one of us turned over. Good shower -floor in shower slippery as was the bathroom floor. Area around the market good for food and people watching.The market on a saturday was brill. Trains and bus all worked well -trip to the Islands on the ferry was great.

The house was great for us (as we are slim and able enough to manage the narrow stairs) and handy for restaurants and the station for trips to other towns. Good value for the price and the roof terraces will be great later in the year. Communication with Neil was quick and helpful and would recommend it as a base for exploring - we got the train to Tavira, Faro and Loule and it was cheap and easy.

Stayed for 8 nights in July 2017.Location of house is brilliant 2 streets back from Fish market and fruit/veg market. No through traffic so it was surprisingly quiet. Be prepared for noise from nearby bars and dogs however. Enjoyed staying in Olhão but it is a dirty wee town. The house is ideal for a couple. It's very private and the roof terrace is great for sunbathing. We were keen to self cater as we love cooking and we used the barbecue almost every night. However the kitchen equipment could do with upgrading. I had to wash all the utensils and cutlery prior to using for first time. A knife had been put back into knife block greasy and dirty. The utensils on the stand were ingrained with dirt and we didn't use them. There was a bottle of fairy liquid, a pan scourer/sponge and couple of jcloths but no other cleaning materials supplied. There was a general air of neglect about the house. It wouldn't take much money/effort to improve it. The bed was really uncomfortable and creaky and not conducive to a good nights sleep. The bedsheet was old and had holes in it. I've thrown out better sheets! The ensuite bath and shower room was spacious. Wifi was good. The stairs to sitting area on first floor are very steep and the risers were difficult to negotiate when you've got short legs! The very narrow stair is not suitable for a wide or unfit person! Finally the roof terrace was not enhanced by the grotty looking plastic chair. The sun loungers were fine. The owner provided good information. All in all we felt that the price was high for the quality of the accommodation.
