The location was great, the property was bright, clean and had excellent common areas. Breakfast was fantastic. From the moment we were greeted by the house hosts we felt at home and they were great with directions and places to eat and visit.
United States of AmericaThe breakfast was very nice. Full of variety and fresh fruits. We stayed at the top room with direct connection to the roof top. After 22h it is basically a private roof top for anyone on that top room. Nice views to Olhão city, everything clean and good vibes.
PortugalExceptional stay. You will be sad to check out. Joao and Ricardo are so friendly and full of local knowledge. The Pescadores small double room was perfect for me - spotlessly clean, with a comfortable memory foam mattress and quality linens, and ensuite bathroom. It has soaring ceilings and windows. The whole building is a carefully restored heritage property full of character and you can tell attention was paid to every detail. Even breakfast (an incredible spread, including for vegans) was served on flatware and ceramics made in Portugal. I let Ricardo know before my stay I was vegan and was delighted to find several types of non-dairy milk, cereal, breads and a huge variety of fresh fruits and nuts at breakfast.
Canadathe managers were warm and friendly and so accommodating. it is a home away from home😀

BelgiumEverything was amazing, the food, the room, the customer service! Jaoa is the BEST! I adore him! He took such good care of me! I cannot wait to go back!
ColombiaGuestMar is a special treasure. It's a modern, Pinterest-like stay: white washed, Portuguese tile, and a Mediterranean atmosphere. It is clean, comfortable, and offers a delicious and plentiful breakfast! The staff is wonderful and we also loved the community library with books that guests contribute from all languages and places. That was a very special touch!
United States of AmericaEverything Joao the owner is a wonderful person as are the other staff. The room on the terrace is just amazing!
CanadaFrom the moment you walk in, you know this place is special. The staff is welcoming and the design is thoughtful. You will feel right at home with cozy bedrooms, nice breakfast each morning in the kitchen, and enjoy a drink on the rooftop. The entire place is very clean and decorated with Algarve charm. I will definitely stay here again when I visit Olhão.
PortugalThis hotel is a little gem in Olhão. The building itself is beautiful and the decor inside is modern and welcoming. It made us feel right at home and the rooftop terrace is perfect for lounging before dinner. Just a few mins walk to all the best restaurants and the waterfront. The breakfast spread is amazing and the dining area is a nice place to hang out and chat with the owner who is so warm and friendly. I wish I could have stayed longer!
