A beautiful, spacious, 3rd floor, one-bedroom apartment located within Marina Village, on the waterfront, in the heart of historic Olhao. This modern, furnished, air-conditioned apartment has a large balcony where you can sit and enjoy the stunning, uninterrupted views of the ocean and Ria Formosa Nature Reserve. There is a pool on the rooftop where you can enjoy a 360-degree view over the town of Olhao, the marina, and across to the sandspit islands of Armona and Culatra with their beautiful white, sandy beaches. These ihlas are easily reached by ferries that run from the quayside, just a short walk away, along the pleasant, paved promenade. A wealth of restaurants, shops and bars can be found along the waterfront and in the winding, cobbled back streets, all within walking distance.

Comfortable and familiar
We enjoyed staying at this property, it was very comfortable and in a great location. The views from the balcony were beautiful, as was the area nearby. A very short walk to an amazing market and many great restaurants. We will return!

5/5 Excellent

Nice apartment in very good location.
The apartment was as described; clean, bright and comfortable for our 4 week stay. The position looking westwards towards Faro and the salt lagoons of the Ria Formosa ensured interesting and inspiring views everyday. To be able to reach within a few minutes the lagoons and see flamingos, egrets, cormorants, spoon bills and many other species going about their daily activities was a delight. The daily work of the clam farmers was also quite interesting to watch from the apartment balcony. We really liked the town of Olhao. Having a car allowed us to visit several other towns along that eastern Algarve coast, from Faro to Castro Marim and the spanish border (only about an hours drive). In hind sight we think Olhao was the best town to pick for our home base. We enjoyed the fresh market produce almost everyday, the local bakery especially for the pasteis de nata, the coffee shops overlooking the harbour and dotted throughout the town and all kinds of interesting shops and businesses where we found the people to be helpful, friendly and long suffering of our attempts at Portuguese. The apartment was well equipped in terms of appliances and conveniences. The owners Julia and John provided good customer service and the local managers Sam and Simon were very helpful. They went above and beyond for us. I don't think we ate out enough to be able to recommend the best restaurants. If you like fish and shell fish you will be in heaven. But there is also a variety of ethnic restaurants in the town. Check out what is playing at the Municipal theatre. They have a good program of concerts and plays it seems. And if you like soccer, the home team has lots of spirit. The stadium is 5 minutes walk from the apartment. Take a cruise to the islands and have BBQed fish or a pork and clam cataplana for lunch. Visit the tidal mill at the Ria Formosa headquarters and enjoy the birds and plants (we saw freesias growing wild in March). Visit Moncarapacho and its pottery. Walk Faro old city. Or just putter around Olhao. Have coffee or glass of wine at the market square and watch the world go by. Then sit on the balcony in the late afternoon sun and watch a unique sunset.

Light in the apartment

Satisfied customer
Enjoyed Olhao. Apartment large and in good position. Lovely balcony. Short walk to the marina, bars and restaurants. Restaurants are plentiful. Lots of small restaurants dotted around the little streets beyond the marina. 3 supermarkets within walking distance. Shopping trolley provided which is handy. The train is definitely worth using. Remember to use bus pass or proof of age to get discount if eligible. You can also buy tickets on the train. Worth taking a day trip to ayamonte in spain which is a must . Ferry terminal is a very close to the centre so no long trecks. Train to vila real san antonio and a short walk to the ferry for a very short hop across the river. Buy ferry ticket from the booth opposite the ferry. Looking forward to visiting again and would definitely book this apartment again.

About the host

Hosted by Julia Blaylock

Host profile image
We live in North Wales and first holidayed in the Eastern Algarve in 2007. We love it here, with the relaxing pace of life, the friendly people, the beautiful beaches and the all-year-round sun. The flight to Faro is only two and a half hours for us, and then from the airport it's a 15 minute drive to Olhao. If we catch an 8.00 am flight we can be here by lunchtime. When we had the chance to buy this lovely waterfront apartment here, with such a stunning view of the ocean and nature reserve, we couldn’t resist it.

Why they chose this property

We consider this area of the Algarve to be largely unspoilt by tourism. Although Olhao is a tourist destination it retains its charm as it is still very much a traditional Portuguese fishing town. The restaurants here have lovely, fresh food and wine at very reasonable prices, whereas many other holiday destinations have become expensive, especially to eat out. We love taking the ferry to the sandspit islands of Armona or Culatra; it is like stepping back in time, wandering past the pretty beach houses that line the paths to the beautiful white sandy beaches. There are no cars there and the beaches are never crowded, even in high season. The countryside inland is beautiful and we have spent many days exploring the various tiny hilltop villages where time seems to have stood still.

What makes this property unique

All the restaurants, cafe-bars, shops, markets and banks are within a short walk of the apartment, yet at the same time, it is just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the main street in Olhao, so you have the best of both worlds.

You can chill out on the balcony, or in the rooftop pool after a day of sightseeing. The fact that only a few of the apartments in the building have access to this pool is definitely a bonus. The views and sunsets from our balcony are breathtaking; the only downside is having to tear ourselves away from the view when it is time to return home to the UK. After all, there are not many places you get the chance to see pink flamingoes whilst you are eating your breakfast..
