Wonderful stay

Luciana is very helpful and the appartement is very luminous, well located and equipped, and clean. The fact that all the sleeping and dinning rooms are equipped with air conditioning is enjoyable for it can get quite hot in Summer. We had a great stay at Olhão !

Family break away

We enjoyed our stay in Olhao, with all amenities close to hand. The apartment is on the third floor with many steps, so you will need to be able to do this. We enjoyed a short train trip to Faro and had a lovely lunch by the marina. We also did a twenty minute walk from the apartment to the nature reserve.

Ferienwohnung Olhao

Die hübsch und tip top eingerichtete Ferienwohnung ist ruhig und trotzdem zentral gelegen im schönen Olhao. Nachteil ist nur, dass die Wohnung im 3. OG ist und es keinen Lift gibt. Olhao ist schön und noch nicht von Touristen überrannt. Für Atraktionen wie Slide&Splash, Sand City, Zoomarine muss man allerdings 45 Autominuten pro Weg rechnen. Die Inseln sind sehr schön und dort findet man auch wunderschöne Strände.

À refaire

Appartement très agréable propre et fonctionnel , très bien situé. Ivone est très sympathique et accueillante et reste toujours à disposition des locataires. En revange une poêle et une ou deux casseroles en plus pour pouvoir cuisiner seraient les bienvenues ! Le petit panier de bienvenue est très appréciable

Lucy Wilson very kind and helpful owner - problems with reservations through homeaway

We don't know exactly how the property we reserved was. that is we were in another property. When we were going to do the reservation, we made a search on the site of Homeaway asking only for propertis with elevators, since I can't go up the stairs. the site showed us this property. When we arrived we discovered that there was no elevator and the property was on the third floor. Lucy was very helpful. She found immediately another beautiful accomodation for us and we are very grateful. But it was not the first time we had a prolem with Homeaway reservation: last year we reserved an apartment were there had to be two bathrooms, a balcony and w-fi. When we arrived we discovered that there was just one bathroom, no balcony and no wi-fi. Our suggestion: if you do a reservation through homeaway check before that there is all you asked for.

Great location, well equipped apartment

Very comfortable, large 3 bedroom apartment with more amenities than expected (lovely gift basket, well stocked kitchen including juicer and oven). Pleasantly surprised to find salt, pepper, oil, vinegar, spices, etc. Close to many restaurants and transportation. Only negative was neighbour dogs barking whenever we went onto the balcony.

Très bel appartement proche du centre

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour en famille dans cet appartement. Lucy est très arrangeante et nous avons été bien acceuilli avec un panier surprise de denrées. Un logement équipé et propre, à 10min des marchés et centre ville à pied. La ville est particulièrement jolie et typique. Je recommande cet appartement !

Muito acolhedor

O imóvel é bem servido, bem localizado e com infraestrutura para uma temporada agradável. Perto da estação de comboio e de autocarro, com o comércio à porta e perto de tudo. Shopping e supermercados próximos, facilitam a vida do hóspede. O atendimento e presteza da Ivone, sempre pronta a ajudar. O único inconveniente (para quem tem dificuldade motora) é o imóvel estar localizado num 3o.andar sem elevador. Tirando isso, é super recomendado...

tres bon sejour

Appartement très agréable, inconvenient 3 étages à grimper après des journées bien chargées en visites. Point très positif le petit panier d'accueil à notre arrivée (fruits, pain, beurre, vin, toast....). Par contre les soirées fraiches, on aurait apprécié quelques couvertures supplémentaires. Pour la cuisine il manque également quelques casseroles et poeles. Sinon avons apprécié aussi toutes les petites attentions (produits de toilette, pour faire la vaisselle, papier WC, produits alimentaires huile vinaigre sel poivre.....). Appartement que je re commande sans oublier la grande gentillesse de Lucy .

Bon séjour à Olhao

L'appartement de Lucy est très agréable et fonctionnel. Lucy et Claudia nous ont très bien accueilli et nous ont donné toutes les informations nécessaires. Des denrées sont proposés aux vacanciers pour commencer le séjour. Petite attention très agréable. Cette région du Portugal est très jolie. Nous nous sommes déplacés sur plusieurs plages et nous avons été enchantés. Séjour très agréable
