|
During its recent tasteful renovation project, the property was transformed into a traditional Portuguese townhouse with all the benefits of modern utilities. The air-conditioned bedroom is located on the first floor, keeping it cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The open plan living room and kitchen are on the ground floor. The 2 terrace plan benefits from the abundant Algarvian sunshine at different times of the day. 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! All the attractions that entice holiday makers to Olhao are on the door step. The sea is about 4 minutes strole 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.

The property is well located with everything you need for a great holiday on your doorstep. The street itself is quiet and unspoilt. Cars are not allowed down here so peace and quiet is all but guaranteed, yet within a two minute walk you can access many bars, restaurants and shops.

Another one sails into the rough!
About the owner
Neil Dawson. Occupation; I am Head Golf Professional at Astbury Golf Club in Cheshire, UK. I operate a retail business so am able to take credit card bookings if required. I currently own and rent four properties in the olhao and pechao 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 reccommend it to anyone.
Year purchased: 2009
Why the owner chose a home in this location
When I first visited this house, it was in a sorry old state. It was badly in need of a major renovation. The owner was never going to the job so I could not resist and bought the property before passing the renovation job on to a local builder. I also employed an english speaking project manager, who expertly handled the day to day issues that arise. This resulted in a totally stress free, ultimately very rewarding project.
Unique benefits of the property
A good deal of peace! The property is on a cobbled walkway with no cars allowed. Other than extremely freindly and chatty neighbours, the street is usually very quiet. You can walk to the harbour in about five minutes. Everything you need (bars, restaurants, coffee shops, supermarkets) is within very easy walking distance.
