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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Lovely location and great apartment

The apartment and its location is lovely. Every thing you need is within walking distance and we have eaten at really nice restaurants, bought fresh fish and veg at the lovely market. Worth a visit We have walked around the salt farms and seen flamingos . We have felt the lovely sun and also the lovely rain! That is not the fault of the apartment. Just the roll of the dice with weather. Asked by fellow brits staying for 3 months, who shared some good tips on restaurants. They asked would we come back. Yes. I am planning for a long weekend stay in October! Cold in the UK, but 20+ degrees here. Thank you
