About the host

Hosted by Luciana Wilson

Host profile image
I'm your Canadian host living the dream in the Algarve. There are many vacation rentals but not many will meet your standards for attractiveness, cleanliness and having all the amenities for your comfort. My team and I aim to provide a pleasant and comfortable experience in a place that feels like home, while you enjoy our great weather and explore the region.

Why they chose this property

Olhão is an authentic, traditional Portuguese fishing town. The sea and fishing are in the blood of the proud Olhanense people.
I think it is unique and not a typical tourist resort community. It's a historic town suitable for year-round living, with many supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, banks, services and wonderful fresh markets.
It has a small town feeling, where people know each other, and I have become a part of the community with many friends and acquaintances.

What makes this property unique

Modern house yet on an old, typical, residential street of Olhão. Has a small back patio, which is not a common feature. Just a minute from the main street and in 5 minutes you can be at the supermarket, train station, bus depot or downtown at the waterfront.
