Magnifique
Nous avons passé un séjour dans cette maison magnifique.
La maison est dotée de prestations de très hautes qualités.
Rien ne manque même la télévision française.
L’emplacement est près du port et de son marché, ainsi que du centre commercial d’auchan. Tout est possible à pied.
Nous avons toujours trouvé un emplacement pour garer la voiture.
Le calme est là même en plein centre d’olhão.
Nous recommandons ce logement à 200%!!!!!

Dieses Haus ist ein Schmuckkästchen
Das Haus ist liebevoll und mit allen Annehmlichkeiten die ein schönes Wohnen ermöglichen ausgestattet.
Wir haben uns direkt nach dem Betreten wie zu Hause gefühlt. Selbst für die erste Verpflegung war liebevoll vorgesorgt. Die kleine Dachterrasse läd zum gemütlichen Aufenthalt und Sonne tanken ein. Alles in allem können wir dieses Haus jederzeit weiterempfehlen

Mar I Terra is a great place for exploring the pleasures of Olhao, a hard working but laid back city that's spared many of the tourist pressures of more well known cities in the Algarve. Among its pleasures are the many neighborhood cafes, populated by local residents, some from Africa or Brazil, who are always happy to display the Portuguese arts of friendliness and conversation. Olhao is proud of its evolution from a fishing village dependency of Faro to an independent city, which it displays on a series of posters in a downtown plaza.
Mar I Terra is comfortable, well-equipped, and in a quiet neighborhood. Parking is not a problem; it is always available on the street in front of Mar I Terra and in the adjacent alley. The famous mercado is a ten minute walk away and provides all the fresh food one could want. Inexpensive tours of the islands are available near the mercado. We took the one to Armona Island with Manuel, the owner of one of the operations, who grew up in the islands and knows everything about the aquaculture of the area. It wasn't anything fancy -- a bench on an open boat powered by a 75 hp Evinrude -- but it was an education in the history and economy of Olhao.
Olhao is a good choice if you want to avoid the touristic centers of the western Algarve, and Mar i Terra is a great place for exploration of the town.

A good place to stay in Olhao - convenient for touring the Algarve
February 14 – March 13, 2019
The house is conveniently located, walking distance from the rail station, bus depot, supermarkets, restaurants and the waterfront. It seems to be a recent rebuild using high end materials and is completely equipped with the latest appliances. The owner kindly left the appliance instruction manuals (mostly in French) which we found necessary. Parking in the vicinity is at a premium and so we did not rent a car except for a three day excursion to Evora and Sagres towards the end of our stay. We stayed for a month and found, that for us, it was just too long to spend in a house spread over three floors. The kitchen and living/dining room are on the main floor but the lovely terrace is on the third so if you wanted to have a meal or even drinks on the terrace you had to maneuver trays up and down circular stairs. The living/dining room is small. As the house faces north, the sitting area is gloomy and the only lighting are wall sconces with harsh white L.E.D. lighting.

excellent property
The house was very conveniently located off a main street in Olhao about 10min walk from the harbor. The house itself is brand new and all the fixtures and equipment is also new. We had a very restful vacation and went on day trips to Tavira, Faro, Rio de Formosa, Huelva etc. The owner was very prompt to answer our concerns on how to use some of the very modern equipment that we are not accustomed to use. Overall, one of the best VRBO properties we have rented.

Prestation Conforma et Parfaite
Après avoir quitté Paris sous une pluie battante, nous arrivons à Faro sous un grand soleil avec un 18 ° d'accueil. 30 mns plus tard nous entrons dans la charmante demeure de Sidonie, tout est nickel, elle nous a même prévu une collation d'accueil (vin blanc d'Algarve et délicieux biscuits secs). La maison est vraiment bien équipée, nous n'avons manqué de rien, il y a même un petit barbecue électrique installé dans la courette, sur lequel nous avons cuisiné poissons et Gambas (très frais et bon marché au Portugal). La région est très jolie, bref un super séjour ! Grands remerciements à Sidonie

New, clean, efficient.. and close walk to downtown Olhão.
We had a wonderful week at Mar i Terra. Clean, efficient, comfortable, and within walking distance of downtown markets, restaurants, and boat tours. A great place to call home for a week+ to explore the Algarve region. Even a day trip to Selville is easily doable! Kitchen is well equipped to even make your own meal with fresh fish and produce from the markets. Nearby pastry shop for bread and delectable treats. Must get pasteis de nata... delicious!

Maison très agréable et d une propreté exemplaire
Un grand merci à Sidonie et son mari, qui nous ont concocté un logement parfait pour profiter de nos vacances.
Ils sont accueillants,prévenants, ils nous ont donné des conseils de visites, restaurants... nous n avons pas été déçus . Le regret ne pas avoir tout fait mais il faut prendre le temps d apprécier et en laisser pour une prochaine fois. Il y a une petite terrasse particulièrement agréable mais il faut monter les étages avec son repas pour en profiter (il fallait bien trouver quelque chose à dire , il faudrait inventer une astuce pour monter les plats! ) . Olhao est une jolie ville et tout est accessible à pieds.
Bref une adresse à retenir pour une prochaine visite dans cette belle région.

jolie petite maison très bien équipée
Olhao est une ville très attachante. La maison est bien située, un peu en dehors du centre historique mais dans un quartier justement moins touristique, à 7 minutes à pied par des petites ruelles très belles. Très bien équipée, très fonctionnelle, au calme. Sidonie a tout fait pour que notre séjour se passe au mieux. Nous recommandons cette location.

Excellent!
Très jolie maison proche du centre historique très recherché d'Olhão.
Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour dans cette ancienne maison de pêcheur entièrement rénovée et très propre. Les propriétaires João et Sidonie ont mis tout leur cœur pour que l'on passe un très bon moment. Rien ne manque, elle est dans une rue calme, à quelques minutes du marché au poisson et des restaurants du front de mer.
Une adresse à recommander les yeux fermés si vous souhaitez visiter l'Algarve en toute quiétude!
