Casa W Olhão - ALMIRANTE

Casa W Olhão is a concept of 3 eco-friendly fishermen's houses.
They are located right in the centre of the old town of Olhão.

ALMIRANTE is a beautiful fisherman's house in the heart of the Barreta district, the old town of Olhão. 2 bedrooms (bedroom 1: 160x200 bed / bedroom 2: 160x200 bed or 2 80x200 beds), 2 bathrooms and 2 roof terraces offer an exceptional view of 2 parts of the city. There is also a summer kitchen located on the top floor with its barbecue.
Casa W Olhão ALMIRANTE has all modern comforts, including WIFI and air conditioning.
The story begins like this, a long time ago, the Barreta district of the small town of Olhão was inhabited by families of fishermen and merchants. The main catch of this little corner of the Algarve was octopus and sardines that the fishing families dried on their rooftops. Today, Olhão is still the largest traditional fishing port in Portugal, and the Barreta district retains its soul of yesteryear.
One of his houses, Casa W Olhão is located about three hundred meters from the sea, surrounded by other houses of the same type. Renovated, it has two bedrooms, each overlooking a different little street, and two bathrooms. It is comfortable and on the top floor, you have the choice between a terrace with a beautiful living room and deckchairs, and another with a barbecue, another seating area and a table for dining.
This family home is divided as follows:
On the ground floor, the living room, the separate kitchen and a shower room.
On the first floor, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and a pretty balcony.
On the second floor, the summer kitchen opens onto the terraces on each side. You can enjoy the beaches during the day and, at nightfall, take a stroll along the gardens facing the sea. The bars and small restaurants are open all year round.
We will provide you with some personal addresses. To make your stay as pleasant as possible, we have provided everything you need: TV with cable channels, WIFI available on all floors and even on the terraces, card games and dominoes.
In your bathrooms: towels, soap, shampoo, toilet paper and hair dryer.
Amenities in the rooms: sheets, pillows, duvet, hangers, built-in wardrobe, ceiling fans, air conditioning, safe.
For the beach, a basket with beach towels, an insulated backpack, ice packs in the freezer, umbrellas and a set of rackets. On the terraces, deckchairs, a comfortable lounge and a large umbrella on one side to relax and on the other side the terrace with the pergola to enjoy the shade for breakfasts and lunches. The barbecue allows you to grill beautiful vegetables from the market, fresh fish and meat from the hills. The summer kitchen is equipped with a small fridge and a sink, the barbecue is on the terrace. In the kitchen, dishwasher, toaster, microwave, kettle, orange squeezer, espresso machine, hand and dishwashing detergent. Washing machine and washing capsules. Reversible air conditioning in the living room and bedrooms. Iron and ironing board. Smoke detectors. Fire extinguisher and first aid kit. Heating. Ceiling fans in each bedroom and in the living room.
Entire house and private terraces.
During your stay you will stay in touch with your host if necessary who will always be available. You will be welcomed by your host. We are flexible to ensure your check-in coincides with your flight arrival time. However, we cannot guarantee this. On your departure day We set the departure time at 10:00. It will be possible to leave your luggage in the house while it is being cleaned in agreement with your host, allowing you to make the most of your holiday.
Casa W Olhão ALMIRANTE is within walking distance of the famous covered fish and fruit and vegetable markets, shopping streets, small restaurants and cafes, but still quiet in the small traditional cobbled streets. Ferries to the islands of Armona, Culatra and Farol are also within walking distance. Free parking is available on the street, right in front of the house. The house is located in the heart of the city, you can do everything on foot. The train station allows you to go to other cities in the Algarve and to the Spanish border. Faro Airport is only 13 km away. A car is not necessarily necessary. You can also rent bicycles on site to use the Eco-Via which allows you to travel along the entire Algarve coast.

Olhao
Very well equipped with many unexpected extras ( cold box/ freezer blocks/ sun brollies), available to use . The arrival was well hosted and we were made to feel very welcome . Loverly property inside , and the 2 rooftop patio areas , together with the additional kitchen facilities on the top floor really made it an enjoyable place to stay . Situated on a quiet street in the old town , but only a short walk to bars restaurants the markets and Ferry's .

Comfortable property in a great location
This house was as expected for a converted fisherman's house in the centre of the old town. Very well equipped, with everything we needed and more. Comfortable bed, decent showers and lovely terraces. It was great having the option of two terraces on opposite sides of the house, so we could have sun or shade as we wished. Great location for many restaurants, and very handy shop just around the corner. Very short walk to the seafront and ferry.

Wonderful location
We had a very relaxing time, the house is as described and very clean. Nice touches included tea, coffee and condiments, the water and wine on arrival were very much appreciated. This house is in a very central location, so no car required, however we were able to park nearby without difficulty. We would love to return!

A beautiful house in an interesting town
The house was beautiful, very stylish, clean and well equipped. We particularly liked the roof terraces. Olhao was very interesting and not a tourist place. The house was only 15 minutes from the port so it was easy to see the islands.

Einfach nur toll!
Das Haus hat eine sehr gute Lage in der Altstadt. Es ist überaus gut mit allem ausgestattet, was man für einen schönen Aufenthalt benötigt. Es gibt sogar eine Tasche für den Strand und Sonnenschirme! Alles war sehr sauber, tolle Betten, und auch sehr schön eingerichtet. Der Kontakt vorab zum Besitzer und Cristina vor Ort war auch klasse. Es gibt sogar eine Kleine Info-Broschüre mit Infos zum Haus und netten Restaurants und Geschäften. Von uns gibts 100 von 100 Punkten.

Sehr schönes Haus mit zwei wundervollen Dach-Terrassen. Alle Schlafzimmer klimatisiert und mit Deckenventilator. Gute Kaffeekapselmaschine vorhanden. Schön war, da wir abends angekommen sind, dass sowohl eine Flasche Wasser als auch eine Flasche Rosé im Kühlschrank auf uns gewartet haben. Eine Schale mit frischem Obst rundet den sehr fre7ndlichen Empfang ab. Empfehlenswert.

Tolle zentrale Lage
In wenigen Gehminuten erreicht man alle Geschäfte und Restaurants, sowie den Hafen mit Fähranleger. Trotz zentraler Lage ist es dort ruhig zu wohnen mit toller Atmosphäre. Das Bett ist super bequem und alles blitzblank. Nach einer Woche gab es eine Zwischenreinigung mit frischer Wäsche. Unsere Erwartungen wurden voll erfüllt. Herzliche Grüße an Samuel Jutta und Uwe

Excellent séjour
Nous sommes ravis d'avoir séjourné dans cette propriété !! Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l'accueil et la communication avec notre hôte, le confort de la maison, le caractère du quartier à proximité du marché et de nombreux restaurants. Nous avons bien aimé aussi les plages (Fuseta, Armona), les visites dans la région (villes de Tavira, Estoi, ...). Nous recommandons vivement cette propriété et nous y reviendrons avec plaisir à une prochaine occasion.

Perfekte Lokation in Olhao
Alles war perfekt.Cristina hat uns die Schlüssel übergeben und Alles erklärt. Das Haus ist sehr sauber, mit gut ausgestatteter Küche sowie Sommerküche auf dem Dach und zwei tollen Dachterrassen, welche wir täglich zum Frühstücken oder Chillen nutzten. Zum Fischmarkt und Bäcker sind es nur wenige Meter. Einen Parkplatz haben wir immer vor dem Haus vorgefunden. Perfekt für zwei Ehepaare, da die Schlafzimmer in gegengesetzter Richtung angeordnet sind und das Haus zwei Bäder hat. Es gab keinen Stress.
