Charming and well-renovated fisherman's house in old town of Olhao

The fisherman’s house is well-located in the old town of Olhao with its peaceful, slow-paced ambiance. The place has been tastefully renovated and retains the original charming character. It is well-equipped with thoughtful touches such as air conditioning, organic kitchen and bathroom products as well as wine and fresh fruit. Amazing views in every direction await you on the terraces – perfect for apéros watching the sunset. Communication with Sam is excellent. He was flexible regarding our arrival time and provided a good welcome guide with links to local events, including art exhibitions and personal restaurant recommendations. A wonderful place from which to explore the islands, local markets, cafés and restaurants in a not too touristy area, we fully recommend.

Wunderbar!

Alles tipptopp. Sehr netter Gastgeber und hervorragende Lage und gute Ausstattung. Wegen der vielen Treppen für Personen mit Einschränkungen nicht empfehlenswert, alle anderen nur zu!

Gelegen midden in het oude centrum van Olhao. Heerlijk genieten van zon en uitzicht.

De foto' s van de locatie klopten met de werkelijkheid. Gunstig gelegen terrassen zodat we altijd buiten konden zitten. Ook een prima keuken om zelf maaltijden te bereiden. Een aantal basis ingredienten in de keuken al aanwezig zoals koffie, thee, water, zout,olie en azijn. Een aardige eigenaar die ons verwelkomde en met trots vertelde over het huis en de omgeving. We hebben gewandeld vanaf huis naar de mooiste plekjes langs de kust. Ook zijn we met de veerboot naar de eilanden geweest met de eindeloze stranden. We hebben genoten van de lekkere pratos das dias. Het is heerlijk onthaasten in het huis van Samuel. Een aanrader.
