We stayed for 6 weeks around February 2019 and Fabienne, HP & family were really great owners - very helpful but chilled-out too.
This is a restored and updated historic house with two generous outside spaces and wonderful views over the cubist roof-tops of the historic quarter of Olhao. We had everything we needed for a really comfortable stay - the pictures don't do justice to the size of the house! It has very high ceilings, great period furniture & lighting in the bedrooms, a good kitchen, comfy beds & a beautiful container-grown garden planted with succulents, agaves & architectural planting. Tables that comfortably seat 6 are both inside and out in the garden, along with loungers & shade equipment. All in, it's a really well-equipped property with a good mix of modern-comfort and historic detail.
Noise from the street and cafe downstairs never bothered us. It's a gentle 3 minute stroll to the two fantastic food markets plus ferries to the islands, cafes, shops, supermarket, bakery, bars & restaurants - even the post office is less than 5 mins away. The location is perfect for exploring the old town and, with a car, you can be on your way out of town within 5 mins. Highly recommended!
