About this property

Casa Salinas is an authentic fisherman's house in the style of the Algarve. It is located in the historic center of Olhão, close to many wonderful restaurants and cafés, the famous fish and vegetable markets, numerous shops and the Ria Formosa Natural Park. The house is within walking distance of the ferry to the beautiful coastal islands and some of the best beaches in Portugal. Casa Salinas is just 15 minutes drive from Faro Airport, 40 minutes to the Spanish border and 30 minutes to many of the famous Algarve golf courses along the coast. The hilly landscape, which is located near the coast, is full of natural beauty, farms, plantations and vineyards and is a great place for hiking and relaxing.
This hinterland has many charming and original historic towns and villages, characterized by culture and tradition, and are a must for a trip to the Algarve.

This fully renovated three-storey townhouse has been lovingly restored with care to preserve the authentic charm of an Algarve-style house. This beautiful corner house has all day sunshine and breathtaking views of the marina and the nearby islands.
On the ground floor there are two cozy bedrooms with luxurious double beds and a bathroom with shower / WC. Two double doors on the first floor open the kitchen / living area to a spacious terrace. It is a real treat to enjoy meals or a drink on this south-facing sun terrace.
The upper terrace offers a fantastic view over the rooftops of this beautiful old town and is a great place to relax.

Mitten im Leben

Schöne Ferienwohnung in sehr gutem Zustand. Fussläufig zu Altstadt, Hafen und Bahnhof. Ruhige kleine Seitenstrasse, aber man ist nicht alleine.

James and his local representative, Patricia, were the perfect hosts and did everything possible to make an enjoyable stay. We usually hire a car, but didn't this time; it was rge right decision. Uber to and from Faro airport is easy and once there, the trains work well (although the timetable us more aspirational than real). Fares are very low by UK standards. Plenty of places to eat within a 5-10 minute walk. Suitable for couples, but steep stairs may rule it out if you have mobility issues or if you're a young chikd.

Mittendrin :-)

Unser Aufenthalt in Portugal , in Olhao, war wunderschön! Der Kontakt zu unserer Gastgeberin Sylke im Vorfeld war bereits sehr sympathisch und hilfreich. Bei unserer Ankunft wurden wir von Patricia (wohnt nebenan) sehr nett empfangen. Sie hatte kurz vor unserer Anreise per Whatsapp schon Kontakt aufgenommen und war auch während der gesamten Zeit immer ansprechbar und außerordentlich hilfsbereit. Das Haus ist wirklich sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet, hochwertige Boxspringbetten, 3 Sonnenliegen auf auf der Dachterasse, Loungemöbel auf der Terasse im 1. OG - alles da. Wir haben es genossen 'mittendrin' zu sein im Leben von Olhao. Die historische Altstadt ist wirklich wunderschön. Es gibt eine schöne Bäckerei ganz in der Nähe und auch einen kleinen Supermarkt. Da haben wir immer Getränke gekauft, damit wir sie nicht so weit tragen mussten. Zur Fähre geht man ca. 10-15 Min. Es lohnt sich rechtzeitig da zu sein, um bei diesen Temperaturen einen schattigen Warteplatz am Anfang der unglaublich (!) langen Warteschlangen zu bekommen. Verrückt, dass tatsächlich all diese Menschen immer auf die Fähre gepasst haben! Unser Lieblingsstrand war der in Farol. Es ist zwar die längste Fährzeit (40 Min.), dafür aber der kürzeste Fussweg (ca. 10 Min.) vom Fähranleger über die Insel zu einem traumhaft schönen, großen, weiten goldenen Strand. Mittendrin im Sommer, mittendrin in Portugal - ein traumhafter Urlaub - herzlichen Dank!

Perfekte Unterkunft

Die Unterkunft ist so schön wie auf den Bildern! Alles ist sauber und stilvoll eingerichtet. Die Lage ist sehr zentral, Restaurants sind in 2 Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar, und trotzdem ist es angenehm ruhig. Die Kommunikation mit den Eigentümern und die Schlüsselübergabe haben perfekt funktioniert. Die Unterkunft ist mit allem ausgestattet was man benötigt. Wer einen lebendigen Ort (Olhao ist keine Partystadt) sucht, und trotzdem seine Ruhe haben möchte ist hier bestens aufgehoben. Obrigado por tudo

Un petit coin de bonheur

Si le GPS a eu beaucoup de mal a trouver l'emplacement exact de la maison, le reste n'a été que du bonheur. A peine à 100m de la marina, cette ancienne maison de pêcheur a été rénovée avec beaucoup de goût et nous offert un séjour très confortable. On trouve rapidement les endroits stratégiques de la maison entre RDC et les 2 terrasses pour se protéger de la chaleur estivale. Et la clim dans les chambres est la bienvenue. La maison est extrêmement bien équipée et idéalement située pour profiter de la ville sans prendre sa voiture. Pour stationner, il ne sert à rien de s'engouffrer dans le dédale de ruelles, il suffit d'aller vers le poste de police. Je recommande fortement !
