Escape to the charming coastal town of Olhão in the East Algarve and experience a slice of history in our holiday rental apartment. Once the home of the renowned man of medicine, Francisco Fernandes Lopes, this private residence boasts immense charm and excellent details from the last century.
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.
Book your stay in this unique and historic holiday rental apartment and create memories that will last a lifetime. Contact us today to reserve your dates and experience the charm of Olhão for yourself.

★ Sheets and towels are provided
➤ We usually welcome families with children or responsible adults because the property is in a quiet neighbourhood, and we have huge respect for our neighbours.

Guest interaction
This home is in the hands of Rental Valley, a property management team working hard to ensure 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 the useful information to help you arrive safely and much more. So 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 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.
Other things to note

➤ Check-out time: before 10:00

Die Betten sind bequem, die Decken aus natürlichen Materialien, kein Polyester.
Das Haus steht inmitten des Ortes, so dass man zu Restaurants, Läden, der Promenade am Wasser und dem Fährhafen nur wenige Minuten zu Fuß gehen muss.
In der Küche haben wir ein paar grundlegende Dinge vermisst wie Wasser, Kaffee, Öl und Gewürze.
Wir waren zu zweit und haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt.

The 2nd bedroom is more of a room off the main room with no window or AC. It so private if going with friends. The bed was very comfy though. Had a fabulous time here.
5 • May 2025

Just a note: I wouldn’t recommend it for two couples, as the second bedroom is more like a small storage room connected to the main bedroom, so it’s not fully private. But for families, groups of friends, or stays with kids — it’s ideal.

However, the bedlinen and towels were spotless and nice quality.
No welcome pack which is very unusual.
We would not stay at this property again.

Really high ceilings and nicely decorated. Beds were comfy. Clean white sheets. A few of the doors were tricky to open due to age and wear and tear.
There are steep, deep stairs in places so fine for adults may be a bit of a worry for smaller children.
I would have give 5 stars but felt the cleaning bill was excessive.

Ansonsten eine tolle und außergewöhnlich geschnittene Wohnung mit zwei tollen Dachterassen. Hier aber Achtung wenn man mit kleinen Kindern reist.

il s'agit d'une conciergerie avec l'impression de parler a une machine.
Par contre la maison est incroyablement belle et chargée d'histoire avec des lits tres confortables ( une chambre interieure) mais avec peu d'intimité. la vue depuis la terrasse est vraiment superbe et l'emplacement est le meilleure possible à olhao. tout près du marché au poissons et de très bon restaurant.

The flat is part of a house and the flat is kind-of virtual with a steep stairs going up - absolutely worth it, stunning view from the terrace, even more so from the roof terrace. But the steepness is worth mentioning if you have small children.

It is true that the stairs leading to the 2nd floor are steep but we considered it a good exercise for our thigh muscles ☺.

Mycket fint sovrum ut mot gatan.
Bra kommunikation med värd och affärer o restauranger nära.
Obs! Mycket branta trappor i huset och strömmen kan gå när man använder många energikällor.

Vi är verkligen ledsna över att du hade problem med elen under din vistelse. Vi förstår att detta kan vara obekvämt, särskilt på en semester. Vi vill att du ska veta att vår hantverkare sedan dess har besökt lägenheten och löst problemet, vilket säkerställer att framtida gäster inte kommer att stöta på samma problem.
Tack för att du valde att bo hos oss och vi hoppas att vi får nöjet att välkomna dig tillbaka i framtiden!
Med vänlig hälsning,
Sanne | Rental Valley

The house is pretty central to the area so good for a local market, restaurants and the 15 min ferry to Armona Island which has the most incredible crystal clear beach ever!
There’s a good supermarket 10 mins walk from the house (Continente Bom Dia Olhão) if you want to eat at home.
You definitely need to be good with stairs as it’s a set of stairs up to the first part of the house and another up to the living area and kitchen.
The house has good kitchen facilities and everything you need for a comfortable stay.
To be amazing it needs a few more things - a sofa for the lounge, sun loungers for the top terrace and it feels like some of the space needs re-thinking to make it work better - particularly if more than 2 adults are renting.
We loved that that the house had an interesting history and used to be lived in by Francisco Fernandes Lopes.

Attention chambres attenantes, aucune intimité.
Salle de bain petite et vétusté, douche c’est usité, qui fuit ++, odeur de canalisation très présente.
Vétusté de la maison ( odeur de moisi ++, tache d’infiltration d’eau au plafond) plancher bruyant ++, pas d’air, pas de VMC.
Je ne recommande pas du tout ce logement.

Elle est très bien située à quelques minutes à pieds de tout (mer, marché de fruits, légumes et poisson frais, commerces,embarcadères bateaux pour les îles..)
La façade est fabuleuse avec sa faïence et sa porte colorée
Magnifique terrasse équipée
Merci à l’équipe de Rental Valley pour leur disponibilité et leur gentillesse

We mainly ate out but the kitchen was fully equipped if cooking in (& a barbecue on the terrace), two supermarkets & the fresh produce market - all within short walking distance.
Beds were super comfy.
Lots of great places to eat, again all within a short stroll including the ‘all the fresh grilled fish you can eat for €16’ place around the corner - incredible!
The ferry to Armona Island is a couple of minutes away - great to go for a beach day.
As the description & others have said, this house would not be suitable for small children or anyone with mobility issues - the stairs are stone, steep & three flights if you include the one to the roof terrace! But what a view when you get there - watch the sun set with storks & swifts flying around, just beautiful.
Would recommend & will definitely be back!

Poltronas confortáveis, boa iluminação por toda a casa. As escadas de acesso à cozinha são difíceis por serem estreitas e terem degraus bastante altos, mesmo com corrimões. Ainda bem que tem outro WC nesse piso! Gostámos muito! Recomendamos e ponderamos voltar.

The main bedroom was stunning, with a striking plaster ceiling, three doors with shutters, each with a tiny balcony fro which you can look down on the street. There is a small work area with a desk.
The second bedroom is cramped and has no windows, but there is room for cases in the hall and there is a fan and AC.
The location is fantastic. A two minute walk to the market and the waterfront. Lots of good restaurants nearby. In fact, friends who have visited Olhão several times, gave us recommendations for shops and restaurants before we booked; all were within a five minute walk.
The hosts were proactive, clear, and responsive in their communication.
Highly recommended.

The balcony and roof terrace are stunning, it was great to have a little barbecue of fish from the market, and sit watching the stars in the evening.
Overall would definitely recommend.

Comfy beds
Great location
Clean
Air con worked well
Looked like the pictures
Negatives -
Second bedroom very small
Fan in second bedroom did not work
Only one rail for clothes, no drawers
Very steep steps to kitchen and roof terrace
Bathroom shower leaked badly and bad drain smell when running the sink tap
Tv didn’t work (we didn’t need it anyway)
WiFi didn’t work and was only fixed half way through the holiday
There is an oven in the kitchen but no trays or pans to use for the oven
Overall, the property is beautiful. It was clean and the beds were comfy. The roof terrace is lovely and the location couldn’t be better. However, there were a few things that didn’t work well. It was frustrating that the WIFI didn’t work, the team were responsive when we mentioned this but it still took nearly 4 days to resolve when they eventually brought us a mobile router to use. There is only one rail for clothes, no chest of drawers. Shower leaked badly and needs fixing.

The hob (stove / cooktop) didn’t work. Though an initial WhatsApp message was responded to quickly, it was never fixed so we had the whole week without full cooking facilities, which is a shame as it’s so close to the market and cooking as a family is important to us. Several messages were exchanged about it, but never any apology or sense of urgency. Even a video WhatsApp (which I suggested) would have been good, to ensure the issue was understood or to check if there was something we could do.
Also - the stunning top terrace has virtually no furniture.

À notre arrivée la machine à café n’était pas nettoyée, sur la terrasse il y avait des mégots parterre, et certains verres étaient sales.
Il manquait des linges de vaisselle et des essuies-mains et certains ustensiles comme un tire-bouchon.
Il faudrait aérer de temps en temps les lits.

Die Unterkunft ist durch die hohen Räume, Kassettentüren, eine sehr steile und schmale Stiege usw. nur schwer zu reinigen. Aber auch die Küche und deren Ausrüstung waren nicht sauber.
Bei einem fast 3-wöchigem Aufenthalt pro Person 2 Handtücher (ein großes und ein kleines) zur Verfügung zu stellen und auf Nachfrage mitzuteilen, dass man gegen Aufpreis noch gerne weitere zur Verfügung gestellt bekommt, dürfte bei einem Tagessatz von 96 Euro einmalig sein.
Noch ein Hinweis zu der Stiege, die zur Küche führt: Personen mit einer körperlichen Einschränkung sollten so informiert sein, dass sie vor einer Buchung selbst entscheiden können, ob sie sich das zumuten wollen.
Die Aussage "Parkplatz inbegriffen" ist irreführend und wird nachdem man nicht mehr kostenfrei stornieren kann, folgendermaßen ausgeführt:
2)Es gibt eine große Anzahl von Orten, an denen Sie parken können. Die meisten davon sind gebührenpflichtige Parkplätze oder erfordern eine Lizenz. Schilder informieren Sie über den kürzesten Weg und weitere Informationen zu den einzelnen Parkmöglichkeiten.

perfect location. old, tradional Portuguese terrace house that was so unique and very tastefully done. It was perfect location within 1 minute walk from main street for restaurants and waterside .
communication and check in was great. We loved our little stay at this fabulous place. A few things to note wifi is not great and this apartment has very steep and narrow stairs leading up to kitchen and lounge area. Not ideal for older people. We would recommend this little gem with the yellow doors
