This gorgeous apartment with balcony sleeps 2 and has been renovated in early 2022. It offers you space, luxury and comfort in a modern homely setting. It is located right at the waterfront of Olhão, just minutes walking from the ferries to the Islands of Armona and Culatra.
The space
The lovely 1 bed, 2 bath apartment is located in the old town of Olhão, with the balcony overlooking a lively square and the waterfront literally around the corner. The house has double glazed windows all around that let in lots of light.
Even though the apartment is located in a traditional building, the owners have completely renovated it, creating a modern and bright space that is tastefully decorated. The apartment is completely private and you have access to 1 bedroom with large double bed, 2 bathrooms (1 ensuite), a small lounge and an open plan, fully equipped kitchen with high quality appliances. The bedroom is equipped with A/C, other rooms can be sufficiently aired and room fans are available.
Guest access
★ Private apartment with balcony
★ Modern comfort in the middle of the old centre

★ Wifi and TV
★ Sheets and towels are provided
★ A/C in the bedroom, room fans available
Please note that the apartment is located on the second floor, without elevator.
➤ We usually welcome families with children or responsible adults because the apartment is part of a quiet condominium with lots of residential owners.
Unfortunately, the house is not suitable for infants/toddlers.
➤ Parties and other disturbances are not accepted.
Please get in touch with us before booking if you’re unsure if you fit this profile, so we can see whether this accommodation fits your travel plans.
Guest interaction
This home is in the hands of Rental Valley, a property management team that works hard to make sure your stay is smooth and comfortable! We are available should you have any questions or requests during your stay.
From one week before arrival, we’ll send you our rental guide. This holds all useful information to help you arrive safely and much more. Please read it carefully before your arrival and let us know if you need anything or have any questions.
The neighborhood
Olhão is located next to Faro. It has a lovely and lively old center with a rich history of traditional Portuguese culture. From here you can easily explore both the east, west and inland Algarve but Olhão is perhaps most famous as the access point to the beautiful and peaceful islands of Armona and Culatra by ferry. There are public and private ferry options available and they are located just a couple of minutes walking from the apartment.
Due to the central location, you will have lots of shops, restaurants and bars to choose from in close vicinity of the apartment. A large supermarket is located at less than 5 minutes walking.
Getting around
You can easily get around on foot or use public transport or a taxi/uber to travel around. If you wish to explore the larger Algarve area, a hire car is recommended. Parking in old town Olhão is for free in most places, except along the waterfront. It can be challenging to find it but usually there will be a spot available close to the apartment. A large paid parking area at a nearby hotel is a good alternative for those who don't feel comfortable navigating the old town streets.

Best location in the center, close to the Mercado and many restaurants and cafes.
Good view of the market and river from the balcony.
Lively square Longer wait times in front of the building for check-in and key handover.
During the fish fry, the the sound of the smoke detector alarm goes on..

Fantastic location and nice spacious flat. The shower needs attention. It wasn’t my case, but not great for people with mobility issues. Legging heavy luggages 2+ floors up will not be for everyone…

Cocina muy bien equipada y confortable El trato con huéspedes de larga duración porque no se realiza cambio ni de toallas ni de ropa de capa en los 13 días de duración de la estancia. La ubicación es muy céntrica pero excesivamente ruidosa por las noches, lo que dificulta el descanso.

The apartment was in an excellent position, close to the market in the old town so surrounded by restaurants and bars. The kitchen was really good only lacked a couple of things. Loved having the fans as it was hot, loved the balcony and the bed was very comfortable. Nice big towels for the showers. Lovely to have two bathrooms. In order to wash up and keep the kitchen clean a dish cloth or brush would have been helpful. There was a lot of steps to get up to the apartment so not good for anyone with mobility issues. It is on the second floor.

Отличное месторасположение, чистая и просторная квартира, огромный балкон с местом для отдыха. На кухне огромное количество принадлежностей для готовки. Есть стиральная машина, кофемашина и посудомойка Немного доставляло неудобства запах при входе в квартиру, но со временем к нему привыкаешь

Central location, nice layout. Nice kitchen and appliances. Lovely bed and bedding, which was comfy. The tv didn’t work, the day we arrived we reported it and daily after that. Nothing was done about this during the whole week stay. We rely on the tv as we aren’t party goers. The shower waste was blocked and overflowed during every shower. Only one small and one big towel per person per stay made life a little difficult.

No comment A recepção foi uma vergonha, ficámos uma hora à espera das chaves e qd tentámos comunicar com a agência não havia ninguém disponível para falar em português.
A casa tem um odor intenso e extremamente desagradavel, entre o podre e a naftalina.
O duche de uma das casas de banho estava completamente entupido e tivemos que ensinar a menina das limpezas a desentupir a canalização. Deixaram-nos toalhas velhas e também reclamámos por isso.
A tv não funciona e a casa não tem sofá.
Devo dizer que quando contactamos a menina da limpeza por causa da canalização e das toalhas, acedeu prontamente a ajudar. Mas o que aconteceu não deve acontecer num apartamento alugado.
A localização é muito central, mas é péssima. O apartamento é num primeiro andar e não há privacidade nenhuma para a rua, alem de ser sobre os bares, o que o torna muito barulhento

no breakfast self catering
loication good bed linen polyester not suitable for hot weather
no change of towels or bed linen for 16 day stay
only 1 tea towel
t v did not work for entire stay, was reported to magdalena but nothing was done about it.
had made several phone calls to magdalena whose phone was unavailable
so had contacted rental valley in amsterdam who phoned me back to say they had made
contact and we would be met at 4 pm. on arrival at apartment nobody there to meet us so
further calls to amsterdam who called us back to say magdalena would get to us in about 30 minutes
and 45 minutes later she strolled up with no apology and let us in . it was obvious she was in a hurry and got out as
fast as possible , not a great experience to start of our holiday

This place is fabulous. We chose this place because we like to be able to try the local food markets and cook up nice dinners. It did not disappoint! The kitchen is fully equipped and a huge space to use. There is a living room and the balcony is a great place to watch the world go by with a coffee, beer or wine. Very close to a great bar (glass of beer and wine, 2EUR) as well as the markets. I wish we stayed longer. The place is very well looked after and communication is good and stress-free. The photos do not do it justice. Nothing really. For information: -The street outside is lively, but the room very quiet with the door closed and the air-con on. Always a good night's sleep. -Your card details are held by a third party "Swikly" for the deposit (no international bank transfers required). -Give the agent up to an hour to meet you at the property, not the 30 mins your get in the guide.

New apartments in old building. Cool location, but be ready to noise till 11:30 pm. In front of apartments you can find fish and meat market. Ferry to beaches are located not far. A lot of supermarkets walk distance. Just the same loud music every day ))))

La ubicación es lo mejor, en el mejor sitio de Olhao, a 1 minuto del mercado y cerca de muchos restaurantes y comercios . El apartamento está nuevo, la cocina excepcional, muy muy amplia y con todo lo necesario. La cama muy cómoda, el colchón muy bien aunque las almohadas muy gruesas. Tiene un balcón grande con mesa y sillas con vistas al mercado. No hay manera de comunicarse con ellos mediante mensajes en la app. Una vez que te han cobrado la estancia te envían un teléfono de contacto holandés, de una empresa ubicada en Amsterdam, en Olhao solo hay 1 persona de contacto, de la empresa de limpieza. La información que te envían es en inglés (no tenemos problemas con el inglés pero si hacemos la reserva desde España deberían enviarla en español). De entre un montón de páginas, con un montón de normas te indican que debes avisar media hora antes de llegar para que esa persona te traiga las llaves (habíamos comunicado la hora de llegada en Booking.com). Como no lo habíamos leído, al llegar, tuvimos que hacer varias llamadas y esperar más de 1 hora a que viniera. Nos alojamos 5 noches. Cuando llegamos, la persiana del dormitorio estaba rota, caída y la persona de contacto nos preguntó si podían venir a arreglarla durante nuestra estancia, respondimos que sí. Después de insistir varias veces nos dijeron que venían a arreglarla al 4º día en un horario que no nos venía bien, así que nos marchamos el último día con la persiana sin arreglar y sin luz natural en el dormitorio. Solo dejan una bolsa de basura y un rollo de papel higiénico en cada baño (no 2 como decían sus condiciones). Creo que por el precio del apartamento podrían ser más generosos. En los servicios del apartamento no dicen que el acceso es solo mediante escaleras y es un segundo piso con varios tramos, que con maletas grandes es incómodo y sobre todo si una persona tiene problemas de movilidad. El día antes de irte te envían un montón de normas: no dejar la bolsa con basura, no dejar nada en la nevera, no dejar nada limpio en el lavavajillas, todo en los armarios…..y como tienen acceso a un depósito de 200€ no sabes si no cumples con todo si van a tener excusa para disponer de él. En resumen, trato de los clientes muy muy mejorable.
