A traditional fisherman's house in Olhão

Stay in our beautifully restored holiday home in the heart of Olhão, Portugal - just a 15 minute taxi ride from Faro Airport.

A whitewashed roof terrace under a cane-and-timber pergola: a wooden table set for four with blue-patterned plates and glasses, two cushioned loungers by a round table with a bottle of wine, a small olive tree in a pot, magenta bougainvillea on the right and orange bougainvillea on the left, rooftops and a blue sky beyond.

02 · The rooms

A look inside

Living room

The sofa, storage and smart TV under a high vaulted ceiling.

A living room with white walls and a beige tiled floor: a sky-blue sofa on a grey rug faces a television on a white cabinet; behind it a pale grey wardrobe with carved panels, and an arched doorway on the left opens to a hallway.
Past a white cushion on the blue sofa: a round carved wooden side table with a teal tray, a pale grey wardrobe door with carved rosettes, a cactus ornament and a television on a white unit.
Looking up at a white vaulted ceiling: a yellow plaster ceiling rose with grey leaf mouldings, and a wooden eight-point star light fitting with a bare filament bulb.
The living room towards the street: a deep-set window with its shutters open and wicker baskets on the sill, a half-glazed white front door, the blue sofa and a television on a white cabinet.

Kitchen & dining

Electric oven, fridge-freezer, espresso machine and a table for four.

A kitchen with cream tiled walls and a fruit-patterned tile border: grey cabinets, a sink and hob under a stainless hood, a built-in oven, a white table with four white chairs, and a glazed door in dark red timber.
A ceramic hob and a stainless steel oven set into grey cabinets under an extractor hood, cream tiles with a border of lemons and fruit, a dish rack by the sink, and a striped tea towel on the oven handle.
A white dining table with a speckled top and rush-seated white chairs, an arched opening in the white wall with a small window beyond, a tall white fridge-freezer with a wicker basket on top, cream tiles with a green trim.

Bedroom 1

A comfy double bed, with side tables.

A double bed with white linen and a beige throw, towels folded on it, a headboard hung with a striped blanket in rust, brown and green, bedside lamps lit on both sides, and a sliding door of dark red timber on the left.
Beside the bed, a white bedside cabinet with a striped ceramic lamp lit under a linen shade, an orange and a blue coaster, a textured cream cushion and the striped blanket on the headboard.
A cream cushion with a tufted pattern against the headboard blanket, a small bedside lamp glowing warm on the white plaster wall, and a folded white towel on the bed.

Bedroom 2

A single bed that extends to a double.

A small white bedroom: a bed with white pillows, a blue and white patterned throw, rolled white towels and a plush blue shark, a lantern wall light above, and white shelving on the right.

Bathroom

A walk-in shower, hairdryer, shower gel and fresh towels.

A bathroom tiled in pale blue with a patterned border: a walk-in shower cubicle with frosted glass, a white basin on a white cabinet with a mirror above, a wooden towel ladder, and a door of red timber with glass panes.

The hallway

With an antique dresser.

A long white hallway with a beige tiled floor and a vaulted ceiling, two pierced-metal wall lamps, doors of dark red timber, an antique wooden dressing table with a metal chair and a mirror, and an arched opening at the end onto the living room's blue sofa.
An antique wooden dressing table with a hinged mirror and a metal café chair against a white wall; beyond an arch, the kitchen's fridge with a wicker basket on top and, through a glazed door, the exterior stair.

03 · The terrace

Your place in the sun

Soak up the sun on the loungers, cool off beneath the pergola, or enjoy a drink or dinner around the table for four, surrounded by the Olhão rooftops.

The roof terrace seen from the loungers: two cushioned loungers either side of a round glass table with a bottle of wine and two glasses, the timber pergola over a wooden dining table and chairs, red bougainvillea by the pergola posts, white walls and the town's rooftops under a deep blue sky.
Two cushioned loungers with a small round table between them holding a bottle of white wine and two glasses, on a white terrace floor, with a potted shrub, a purple pot and the neighbouring yellow house behind.
A slatted wooden table laid with blue-patterned plates, bowls and four wine glasses, magenta bougainvillea over the white wall behind, and the red-tiled rooftops of Olhão beyond.
The roof terrace seen from above: the timber pergola over the dining table, two loungers and a round table on the white floor, walls around it, and the pink and white buildings of Olhão under a blue sky.

“The roof terrace is also very nice for enjoying a coffee or a glass of wine in the morning and evening.”
