The space
Located just steps from the main promenade, our apartment offers easy access to island beaches and all the amenities you would expect to find nearby. Explore Olhão's cubist town architecture, cobbled backstreets in the fishermen's quarter, and the amazing fresh market and restaurants.
Step inside and be greeted by a fantastic hallway with the traditional decorations of ceilings and faux marbling walls. The first floor features two spacious bedrooms, one of which has open doors to the balcony and a small attached bureau. The second double bedroom is directly connected and only divided by the original wooden double doors. Using the small and steep stone stairway, you'll reach the second level, where the living area with an open kitchen and a great outdoor terrace with an extra toilet is located. The cherry on top is the magnificent sun terrace on the fourth floor, one of the highest in Olhão, offering panoramic views of all the surrounding islands, Armona, Culatra, and Fuzeta.

The neighborhood
Olhão is located next to Faro. It has a lovely and lively old centre 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 are available, and they are located just a few minutes' walk from the apartment.
Due to the central location, you will have lots of shops, restaurants and bars to choose from in the close vicinity of the apartment. In addition, a supermarket is located at less than 5 minutes walk.
Getting around
Getting here is not complicated. The simplest way is from Mercado and Olhão. Once on Avenida 5 de Outubro, pass the Market towards Jardim Patrão Joaquim Lopes, taking the first street on your left. Walk a few meters and this house will be on your left.
You can quickly get around on foot or use public transport or a taxi/uber. A hire car is recommended if you want to explore the larger Algarve area. Parking in old town Olhão is accessible in most places, except along the waterfront. It can be challenging to find it, but a spot will usually be available close to the apartment. An extensive paid parking area at a nearby hotel is a good alternative for those uncomfortable navigating the old town streets.
