Good all-round
Good location close to the supermarket and bars, but on a quiet street.The place was lovely, very nicely decorated. Was able to arrange early check in for me, which was greatly appreciated.

Lovely traditional house close to the markets and the ferries.
The property was a traditional fisherman's house in a great location. It was well equipped and had a great roof terrace. A lovely place to stay.
Nothing it was all good and great value for money.

Very enjoyable and comfortable, loved the roof terrece especially at night
It was central and a very friendly quirky old building.
All was great

Charming and cozy traditional house in Olhão
The location is fantastic, and the house is very special, particularly the downstairs with its high ceilings and hydraulic tiles
Beds are comfortable, kitchen is adequate and well equipped, and hot water pressure was perfect.
Our host was very attentive and helpful, fantastic communication all along
The current sofa is very uncomfortable (the host mentioned he’s looking to replace it)
Something to consider for guests with reduced mobility: the stairs to the upper floor are very steep with steps higher than normal,
C’est une petite maison typique d’Olhao. On y pénètre par un long couloir carrelé d’une très grande hauteur sous plafond, qui mène à l’entrée, carrelée aussi mais différemment de l’entrée, plus 60’s !
La pièce dessert les deux chambres sobrement aménagée d’une commode vintage et d’un portant : la grande donne sur la rue ; la plus étroite est une pièce sans fenêtre mais la grande hauteur sous plafond permet de ne pas s’y sentir oppressé. Encore de jolies carrelages au sol…
Enfin l’entrée dessert des toilettes lavabos et un escalier en pierres, très raide qui grimpe au 1er étage.
Là se situe la pièce de vie avec un petit canapé et une grande table, la cuisine parfaitement équipée (petite réserve d’huile, sel, sucre) et une petite douche toilette.
Avec au sol, un autre carrelage encore, mon préféré peut-être bien…
De là, on sort sur une première terrasse qui occupe la moitié de la surface de la maison. Il s’y trouve table et barbecue.
On peut grimper encore d’un étage pour accéder au toit terrasse qui permet d’admirer les maisons environnantes, d’entrapercevoir la lagune et de savourer la douceur et lumière du soir.
Bref, assez idyllique, cette petite maison rouge.
On a déniché un petit parasol de plage laissé par d’autres qui nous a bien servi.
Cependant, quelques sujets à améliorer :
- Le matelas de la grande chambre : on y sent trop les ressorts. Je n’ai pu y dormir.
- Les ventilateurs indispensables en bas quand il fait très chaud mériteraient d’être révisés. L’un (le petit noir) ne marchait pas.
- Les ampoules électriques seraient à changer.
À titre personnel, j’aurai préféré une cafetière italienne plutôt qu’électrique.
Rien de ces critiques (sauf le matelas j’avoue) n’est un frein à profiter de ce lieu sympathique.
