"This property is very clean and chic, rooftop pool is beautiful. Beach is a bit of a trek and they don't provide beach towels or umbrellas you must pay for them "
"Very welcoming and friendly staff. Charming little hotel, filled with lovely touches (including herbal tea delivered to your room every evening to help you unwind). Lovely to have breakfast in the sunshine by the pool. I’ll be back. "
"This property was absolutely lovely.
We booked late on our night of arrival, past 11pm, and the owner, Gino, was waiting for us when we got there.
Our room was cozy, and comfortable, but the star of the show were the three private balconies outside.
Overlooking the sea, with a great view, glorious sunshine and comfortable sofas, it was the perfect way to end an evening, and start the day.
Speaking of starting the day, Gino’s wife Rose provides a fresh breakfast in the morning you can take in...
"The location of the hotel is great. The rooms are big and very comfortable. The only issue is that they don’t provide almost any amenities. I asked for conditioner and body lotion and it never showed up. Not very responsive staff, otherwise the hotel is good. "

Very friendly place. Lots of restaurants to choose from and good train station that links to the rest of Algarve and beyond. A ferry that links to rio formosa . Everything is walkable and flat . A really interesting place to visit.

Olhau is a hidden gem in Portugal. Don't tell people about it as it needs to remain unspoiled and not crowded with tourists. It's the real Algarve.

Olhao is a typical coastal fishing town. A close knit and welcoming community which is thriving and growing (hopefully it won't grow too much or too quickly). Ria Formosa is an area of natural beauty. And it's impossible to have a bad meal!

Make sure to take the ferry to the Islands Culatra and Armona were our favourite. Also dine at Cha Cha Cha and Pizza De Pedro but make sure to book before you go as they get very booked up

We really liked Olhaio itself and the ferry trip from here. It is also a very good location for visiting Taviera and Faro.

It is a working town rather than a tourist destination which is why we chose it.
