Hidden Gem

This apartment is wonderful, our whole experience from start to finish was flawless. The apartment is large, modern, clean, quiet, just everything you could want. Well equipped kitchen, 2 great outdoor areas. Lovely pool. Great location with beach just metres away, shops, bars and restaurants on your doorstep. Host was a dream, answering all my questions, arranging transfers, getting some shopping in and suggesting trips etc. we will definitely return.

Perfect for our needs

We’re so glad to found this lovely, spacious apartment - bright, spotlessly clean and perfectly located - and particularly enjoyed the outside space. Really conveniently placed for a great selection of lovely restaurants and cafes with super friendly staff, and handy for supermarkets too - the only thing we can fault is that we didn’t stay long enough! And thank you so much, Anne, for giving us such a warm welcome - we really appreciate all your help, especially with the baby. Our first time in Olhos d’Agua, but definitely not our last!

Amazing location

Got to say this was one of the best holiday's we have had, we have stayed in the area a couple of times but this was by far the best accommodation we have stayed in and the location was amazing being so close to the beach. Luckely rhe drainage is being sorted soon as due to high amounts of rain while we were there the drain in the back blocked and it was flooded for 2 days meaning we couldnt use it but other than that was a perfect stay. On a personal level could have done with the beds being slightly softer but that is just our preference.

Fabulous

Great apartment in a perfect central location with lovely outdoor space and great views. We were two friends so the separate bedrooms on different floors with our own bathroom each was perfect. Everything was provided and the apartment was clean and very comfortable. We ate out all the time but would be fine if you wanted to self cater. A couple of minor negatives - the stairs are fairly steep and the shower room to the upstairs bedroom was very compact (with little storage space) so maybe not suitable for anyone with mobility issues, same would apply to the swimming pool - lots of steps up to it. The swimming pool area was a bit disappointing (albeit with nice views) there were limited beds / shades and the grass area was wet and muddy. The other minor issue were the lights in the hallway to/from the apartment that were on sensors but failed to come on straight away so you were walking in the dark! Overall a great stay and would happily stay again.

Albufeira

we had an amazing stay, and it started with Ann meeting us as we stepped out of the taxi. She took the time to show us the condo, and how things works...which was a nice change from other arrivals. The condo is newer, and in great condition. Location is amazing, with beach close by. Many restaurant options all walking distance of the condo. We hope to return at some point in the future.

Nice located flat

We had a really warm, uncomplicated welcome. The flat is nice located at the peripherie of Albufeira. There are a few shops and restaurants directly downstairs. The flat has a nice roof terrace with a great view. A few little things should be fixed and I would recommend new pans, but at all we had a great stay. Our Kids loved the ice at the aqua downstairs! The live music in the bars around was sometimes really loud and they played long. The sleeping rooms are located backside, there it was not that loud, but still to hear. The beach is nice but small. In the times of flood there is just a small piece of sand remaining. So we often drove to praia da gale with the kids.

Schöne Wohnung direkt am Meer

Unser Urlaub war ein Traum. Zwei Wochen haben wir zu viert in Olhos de Agua verbracht, zwei Erwachsene und zwei Kinder. Die Wohnung lebt absolut von ihrer Lage: umgeben von zahlreichen Restaurants und Bars, 20 Meter vom Strand, mit recht großem Gemeinschaftspool und eigener Garage, wirklich super. Hervorzuheben ist auf jeden Fall auch die Kommunikation mit Anne, die sich für die Eigentümerin um die Wohnung kümmert. Check-in und Check-out haben wir mit ihr individuell absprechen können und alle sonstigen Fragen wurden umgehend beantwortet. Vielen Dank nochmal dafür! Bei der tollen Lage muss man sich aber darüber im Klaren sein, dass viel los ist. Die Bars in der unmittelbaren Nachbarschaft spielen ab 21:00 Uhr Livemusik, die zwar um 0:00 Uhr endet, wer aber vorher schlafen möchte, hat es schwer. Die Bucht ist nicht so groß und immer gut besucht. Man findet ein Plätzchen, aber gerade bei Hochwasser kann es schon mal eng werden. Die Wohnung ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht, drei funktionierende Klimaanlagen helfen auch bei hohen Temperaturen die Räume schnell zu kühlen. Durch ein paar Kleinigkeiten könnte man den Wohlfühlfaktor dieser Wohnung aber noch um ein vielfaches steigern und die Gäste noch zufriedener machen. Insgesamt können wir die Wohnung auf jeden Fall aber weiterempfehlen!

Fabulous central apartment near the beach

The perfect apartment in the perfect location for our family holiday. We are return visitors to Olhos D’Agua and will definitely try to repeat book the apartment. The location has lots of options for food and drinks, and the apartment is close enough to the beach that you can go back for lunch before heading back to the beach. In the evenings sitting out having a glass of wine or a beer on the large balcony looking over the bars and restaurants below is idyllic, and although there is a hustle and bustle below when you close the sliding patio doors the noise is unnoticeable. The apartment is well appointed, lovely decorated, clean and no fuss. Anne was fantastic with great communication with us from the moment we booked right through till we left. Thank you Anne!

Great Unit and Location

We really enjoyed this place and location; we will try to get back. Just a hint to those coming in by plane or Americans that I think have different expectations. There are no pool towels, we had to buy pool towels, they give us one bath and hand towel each (based on persons on reservation), not all beds were made up so I had to make up one of the beds we decided to use, which was the one I think they thought we would not use. There is no bar or dish soap. Tiny bit of washing powder and some dishwasher tabs, no roll of paper towels. So pack it in or buy it when you get there, all this was not a deal breaker, but it is different than American VRBO expectations. Again, we did really love the unit, location, parking, beach and vibe of the area.

Perfect for retirement!

The place is exactly as described. Photos are true. Loved the balcony with the partial view of the ocean. Very lively at night though but it all calms down at midnight, and once you put the window screens down you hardly hear from the bedrooms. No basics are included like salt, pepper, hand soap etc. so you have to buy everything. We found it quite unusual and hard as we were only staying for 5 nights so did not appreciate it. If you go by car get a small one as the parking is extremely small and hard to get into. We would definitely go back though as we loved it!

Great location and lovely host

Our family really loved our stay in Olhos de Agua. The location is perfect, especially for families with young children - just a minute walk to the nice small beach. The property was very clean, air con was working smoothly in all rooms, the kitchen was well equipped with all the dishes, glasses and cutlery you could need. There were no salt, pepper, sugar or coffee, but the wine was great! ;-) (Thanks, Anne!). The internet speed was good if you are close to the router. The modern furniture and decorations in the property make a very nice and cozy ambience. We also loved the amazing sea view from the terrace. Our host, Anne, is super friendly and helpful! She always responded very quickly and was ready to assist if we needed something. Thank you! We definitely recommend this property and would love to come back again.

About the host

Hosted by Mrs Cailleux

Host profile image
We are a French-Portuguese family with 3 children who live in Paris. We spend our holidays for 15 years in the center of Algarve.

We love everything of the Algarve : the climate summer and winter alike, the gastronomy, the sympathy of the portugueses, the beautiful fine sand beaches, the paths along the coast, the freshness of the Serra de Monchique and the medieval ferias of Silves, the wild islands which surround the lagoon da Ria Formosa, the desert of the cape St Vincent, the history of Sagres, the boat trips...

The children like quite particularly the aquatic parks, the Zoo Marine, the circuit of kart of Almancil...

Finally, we appreciate just as much to have within reach of hands the comfort and the modern infrastructures of an European country.

Because we really like very much Algarve, we intend even to move there one day...

Why they chose this property

After spending holidays in central Algarve for 15 years, we decided to buy a property. We chose this residence because the location is exceptional and it is one of the last new modern building having been built in sea front.

We fell under the fisherman's village of Olhos d’Agua and its eponym beach who knew how to keep their traditional character.
The name ' Olhos d' Agua ' means ' eyes of water ', it comes from the fresh water springs that rise in the beach.

When you leave the building, you are on a pedestrian street which allows you a direct access to the beach. It offers you numerous snack bars, ice-cream bars and restaurants where you can have an outdoor drink in the terrace to contemplate the horizon.
The pedestrian street continues on a walk lined with palm trees along the beach to arrive at the huts of traditional fishermen with lovely colored boats on the banister of launch.
You do not have more than to take advantage of grilled sardines or seafood platter to the restaurant ' La Cigale ' or simply a ' bica ' (strong coffee).
If you like sport, in low tide you can walk (or run) on the fine sand during almost 7 km until famous Vilamoura, its casino and its marina.

If you love marine life, you can observe between tides : limpets, topshells, buckshot barnacles, sea anemones and brightly coloured seaweed. The jagged rock formations give rise to isolated group of rocks, undercutting, archess, cavities and small sheltered coves, especially at the western end of the beach.

If you play golf, you can reach in 10 min on foot Balaia Golf, course of 9 holes. Approximately 18 golf, on 36 that offers Algarve, are situated unless 20 min by car.

If you are fond of night parties, Albufeira is accessible unless 5 min by car or by the local bus 'EVA' nearby.

What makes this property unique

Olhos d’Agua offers in the same time the peace and the charm of an old fishermen's village and the proximity of all the urban conveniences.
Its central location in Algarve allows to have a fast access to the airport (30 km), to visit the west coast until the Cap Sao Vicente (1h10 by A22), or to leave eastward to Castro Marim (50 min).
Algarve is a magnificent region which offers a big diversity of landscapes, atmospheres, activities, climate. That is why, everybody can spend of excellent holidays there and compose so its own souvenirs. If you wish, we can recommend you addresses or major sites, according to your tastes.

The duplex was carefully fitted out, it is functional and very well equipped. He allows to take advantage completely of holidays all year round: the system of air-conditioning in all the rooms brings some freshness in summer and heating for the colder months of winter.
You take advantage of an exceptional view from the private terrace or from the swimming pool fitted out with green spaces. Private parking lot closed for 2 cars.
Towels, bed linen and cleaning are included in the price of the rent. Towels are changed twice a week, linen of bed changed once a week.
