About this property
Wonderful house Built To Excellent Standards in the heart of Olhao.
During its tasteful renovation project in 2003, Casa Da Esquinha was transformed into a modern 'upside down house'. The en-suite air conditioned bedroom is located on the ground floor, keeping it cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The open plan living room and kitchen are on the first floor with convenient large french style windows opening onto the sun drenched terrace with BBQ and outside dining. This south facing property benefits from the abundant Algarve sunshine all year round. The upper roof terrace is an added bonus and a great place to sip a glass of wine or a beer and top up your tan! Wi Fi is provided at no extra cost! I recommend bringing a tablet or large phone to enable you to watch all your favourite channels. All the attractions that entice holiday makers to Olhao are on the door step. The sea is about 100 metres away as are the famous markets. The restaurants, coffee shops and bars are literally just around the corner, in fact, as everything is so convenient, you may decide that you do not need a car. Free parking is limited, especially in busy times. However, there is plentiful paid for parking spaces and you might find a nearby street to park free of charge in quieter times. Please note, like the vast majority of Olhao townhouses, the stairs are narrow and steep, though not plentiful. Although acceptable to most people, please consider this if you have any fitness or injury concerns.

About the host
Hosted by Neil Dawson
Neil Dawson. Occupation; I am a Golf Professional based in Cheshire, UK.
I currently own and rent this propertyt in the olhao and have renovated a further three, all in the Olhao area. This 'pastime' started when I came across a really old derelict building that was for sale. I made an offer and the rest is history! It is such a great experience to see an old building knocked down and replaced with a vastly improved one! The olhao properties have all undertaken major renovation work (as apposed to a complete rebuild). It is a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone.

Why they chose this property
The challenge was to find somewhere in the centre of town but still in a quiet area. This property is as near as you will find to this description as no cars are allowed down the cobbled walkways.
If you walk fifty yards, numerous restaurants, bars and shops await. Not to mention the harbour and sea beyond!
This property was formerly a run down, semi derelict house. after my purchase, a major renovation project started. twelve months later, the end result is a beautiful, perfectly located, townhouse. This property seems to have more 'return visitors' than any other I have owned.

What makes this property unique
No cars whistling by your front door and a perfect location. Within fifty yards or so is everything you could need, including the sea! Olhao is a growing area with lots of new builds on the outskirts of town. However, Casa de Esquinha is right in the heart of this fishing village.
