We enjoyed our week in Olhao and surrounding area using this beautiful apartment as our base. We enjoyed the market and all the delicious restaurants that were only a few minutes walk. Would love to return in the future.

We spent a month staying here to get away from the UK weather in February. The apartment was exceptionally good. It was very well equipped and comfortable. We were made to feel welcome by Eduarda Barbara and her team, and they were proactive in ensuring everything was at it should be. I can not recommend it highly enough.

Beautiful apartment; very modern, spacious, clean, comfortable and very well equipped. The big balcony offered wonderful views over the salt pans and sunsets over Faro in the distance. Check-in was a pleasurable experience with Eduarda who greeted us with such warmth and friendliness. Highly recommend this property!

Eduarda contacted us to arrange to meet us at the apartment. She gave us a friendly brief but informative talk about the apartment features.The apartment was clean & comfortable. The balcony gave excellent views over the salt flats & coast. The air conditioning in every room enabled the choice of temperature for each room & bedroom. The kitchen is well equipped with every thing you could need. The pool was an enjoyable bonus great to cool off & relax. A small point is the pool is hand rail at he steps. Those with mobility issues may find it difficult to get in & out of the pool. A short walk away are well know supermarkets for grocery shoppingThe location is a great contrast between the short walk to hustle & bustle of shopping & restaurants around the fish market & much quieter apartment area. There are many places to eat & drink on the ground floor of many of the apartment buildings or the marina complex just across the road.

Lovely view

This is a well presented property with a great view. Our only caveat was the lack of a small table and chairs in the kitchen and the sitting room needed a comfortable armchair. It was spotlessly clean.

Great position overlooking Olhao Waterfront

The apartment has one of the best views in the Marina complex. The apartment is well fitted out and has the little things you need on arrival like tea coffee etc. Beds are very comfortable. Great place for a break in the sun.

Comfortable spacious flat with wonderful view

The flat was very well equipped and maintained. The situation made it easy to access the salt marshes and the restaurants and shops in Olhao. We watched flamingos flying overhead, found great cafes and visited the islands. The agency was helpful and responsive.

Fantastic apartment and view

We stayed for a week in June. The apartment has a lovely view across the Ria Formosa. The balcony is spacious and comfortable to sit out on to enjoy the view. There is some road noise when on the balcony. The apartment is clean, well furnished and has absolutely everything to make a self catering holiday easy. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it.

Excellent host, apartment and town

All contact with the host and the charming lady who let us into the apartment was first class. Accommodation was spotless and has everything for a great stay. View out over the Ria Formosa was stunning, and you get to wake up with Flamingos opposite. Even when this old fossil managed to lock us out everything was sorted incredibly (big thank-you !!). Olhao centre is a few hundred yards up the the new promenade with lots of eateries, ferries to the islands and shops. Saturday fish and fruit market is a must to do.

Excellently located and well-appointed apartment

This is the second year in a row we have stayed here and we will be back next year, so need I say more. All aspects of arranging, communicating and staying at this apartment have been very straightforward. It is perfectly located overlooking the Olhao saltpans with uninterrupted distant views of Faro affording some spectacular sunsets. The apartment is well-appointed and very spacious. You can't do better in the prestigious Marina Village complex. Highly recommended

Salinas, sea view, Olhao

Lovely spacious, clean and modern apartment, great location for a stroll into Olhao, along the sea front. Well equipped and the pool on the roof, clean and easy to use with fantastic views. Although we knew there was a road in front, it was a little busier than we thought, and would probably choose, but didn't really detract from the spectacular sunset over the salt flats! Would have been nice to have some sort of welcoming bottle of water, even local wine on our arrival, we had been waiting in Olhao all day until 4pm, and as it happened so had the lady who was letting us in, so if communication had been slightly better organised, it would have been nice to be in a bit earlier to suit everyone. Really enjoyed our stay in this excellent flat, the wheelie Rolsover trolley was so useful thanks! Weather was fantastic while we were there. Thanks for a great stay.
