Everything was excellent. Great rooftop patio. Fantastic hosts.

This bed and breakfast in Olhão felt like a five star hotel with crisp white linens, a crystal chandelier over the bed, and a free upgrade to a suite just because. The bed was super comfy and the large bath towels luxuriously soft. The owner was extra friendly, as was the staff, and the breakfast was a lavish spread of pancakes, fruits, pastries, meats and cheeses. They bake their own pasteis de nata! When I left the owner gave me a bag of the locally farmed salt and a tin of sardines - such a sweet gesture. There is a library and a rooftop terrace. The mercado and many good restaurants are in walking distance. If I had known how wonderful this town was—and this hotel in particular—I would have stayed much longer. Obrigada!

The owners and staff are wonderful. Very helpful and friendly and just want you to enjoy your stay. The property has been beautifully renovated and decorated and the rooms have everything you could possibly need. The breakfast is delicious and varied, especially the fresh fruit. Coffee, tea, juice, cookies and cake is available all day. It is an easy short walk to the waterfront and many restaurants. We would absolutely recommend staying here.

I like the design. The kitchen the location. It was lovely.

The building is wonderfully refurbished with a great attention to details and anticipation of guests needs. As professionals in hospitality industry, we were very surprised by the high quality of service and comfort, even though it is a guest house, not a hotel. The staff was very welcoming as well as the owner. Breakfast was excellent, the only negative point would have been the english breakfast missing but to be honest the variety and quality offered is more than enough. If you don't fancy going out for dinner, the kitchen is fantastically well equipped, you can easily buy some fresh product at the market and enjoy a nice dinner in the kitchen or the roof terrasse. Location was great, less than 10 minutes walk from the famous fish market. To conclude, don't hesitate a second, book your room at GuestMar !

Super friendly staff, lovely breakfast, perfect rooms and facilities located centrally. Perfect accommodation to enjoy a nice holiday!

This guest house is a sweet little gem located in the charming center of the town of Olhão. The building was greatly renovated and decorated into the finest detail. There’s also a library and a great rooftop with a view. Olhão is still a genuine place but close to many beaches and must see spots in Algarve. The host was the sweetest warmest possible- full of attentions, tips and curiosities to share. We couldn’t feel more welcome and we totally suggest booking here.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfast. Pretty decor.

Loved the place, a tastefully restored old house. Centrally located to train station, sights and restaurants. João is a wonderful host! My room was much better than initially booked, clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. Couldn’t ask for anything more!

GuestMar is a wonderdul place. The rooms are decorated with a lot of attention to detail. It was very clean and we felt very comfortable and happy during our stay at GuestMar. The breakfast is also very nice with fresh fruits and typical portuguese goodies. João is such a warm-hearted person and a great host. You can ask him everything and he has always a great tips for you. We will definitely come back soon!

GuestMar
Inserida na zona histórica da cidade de Olhão, a GuestMar está sediada num edifício construído no início do século XIX, a mando de um empresário da indústria conserveira, como presente para a sua filha. Esta casa, agora total e cuidadosamente restaurada como guest house, mantém a sua traça original, com duas abóbadas, um pé alto de 3,10m e uma grande escadaria central. Toda a elegante fachada original foi mantida, bem como a porta principal e todas as portas interiores. É o Mar e a pesca que regem a decoração detalhadamente pensada deste lugar. A Guest Mar dispõe de 8 quartos com casa de banho privativa, ar condicionado, televisão por cabo e acesso Wi-Fi gratuito. A cozinha, totalmente equipada, é um espaço comum onde é servido, pela manhã, um pequeno-almoço com produtos frescos da região. Os hóspedes poderão ainda usufruir do espaço de leitura e do terraço, local de convívio de onde se avista a Ria e as incontáveis açoteias da cidade.
Com uma localização privilegiada no centro da cidade, os hóspedes sentir-se-ão completamente inseridos na típica e autêntica vivência olhanense. Dali facilmente se chega à avenida ribeirinha de Olhão, situada a menos de 5 minutos a pé, onde se encontram os típicos Mercados de Olhão, restaurantes tradicionais, bares, a Marina e o cais de embarque para as bonitas ilhas da Armona, Culatra, Farol e Deserta.
