About this property

Wonderful house Built To Excellent Standards in the heart of Olhao.

During its tasteful renovation project in 2003, Casa Da Esquinha was transformed into a modern 'upside down house'. The en-suite air conditioned bedroom is located on the ground floor, keeping it cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The open plan living room and kitchen are on the first floor with convenient large french style windows opening onto the sun drenched terrace with BBQ and outside dining. This south facing property benefits from the abundant Algarve sunshine all year round. 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! Wi Fi is provided at no extra cost! I recommend bringing a tablet or large phone to enable you to watch all your favourite channels. All the attractions that entice holiday makers to Olhao are on the door step. The sea is about 100 metres 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. Please note, like the vast majority of Olhao townhouses, the stairs are narrow and steep, though not plentiful. Although acceptable to most people, please consider this if you have any fitness or injury concerns.

The house is not for everyone.
Good location.good kitchen/livingroom. Bedroom damp on arrival,still.damp on departure.stair cases were mentioned as being steep and narrow.until you have to use them you realise that they are very difficult to climb on all 3 levels.all outside balconies had flakey paintwork which could have been easily and cheaply done before our arrival.no handrail on the top staircase to the roof terrace a small folding table and chairs on the roof terracewould improve the area,you have nowhere to sit on the roof terrace only sunbeds.if you have any mobility problems i would not recomend this house.

Perfect house, great location
This upside down house is full of charm tucked right in the centre of Olhao with a 2 min walk to the waterfront, cafés, 2 markets and bars. 5 min walk to the ferry to go to the lovely Armona for a few euros. The house was spotlessly clean, lovely balcony and the kitchen was perfectly adequate to cook our fresh produce from the market. The owner of the property was great at keeping in touch, gave easy directions and how to use the key safe. We loved our stay here and would love to come here again.

The best nights sleep
Perfect location in the heart of restaurants, cafes and shops, just a few steps from the sea front. Excellent and thorough communication with vendor, supported by a manager. A few tips for cleaning: floor needs a good mop and once in a while a deep clean ie shower, all surfaces. Very dusty and sandy floor but very nice historic building.

Another great stay
This is our 4th time staying in this property. Very clean and suitable for 2 people to have a comfortable stay. Small patio on 2nd floor and a wondeful roof top terrace that gets the sun all day. Situated in a quite cobbled street only minutes away from the sea front and amazing restaurants. Less than 10 min stroll gets you to the train/bus station should you want to visit other towns and to the boat that can take you to a few islands. We will be back .

Convenient situation in Olhao
The house is easy to locate and access is straightforward although in a pedestrian only street. It is near lots of restaurants and the market, a supermarket is 5 min walk away, yet it is also quiet at night. Also near the ferries for visiting the islands. The property is old and charming though that brings its challenges (stairs and light)/airflow, fixtures and fittings could benefit from upgrading.

About the host

Hosted by Neil Dawson

Host profile image
Neil Dawson. Occupation; I am a Golf Professional based in Cheshire, UK.

I currently own and rent this propertyt in the olhao and have renovated a further three, all in the Olhao 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 recommend it to anyone.

Why they chose this property

The challenge was to find somewhere in the centre of town but still in a quiet area. This property is as near as you will find to this description as no cars are allowed down the cobbled walkways.

If you walk fifty yards, numerous restaurants, bars and shops await. Not to mention the harbour and sea beyond!

This property was formerly a run down, semi derelict house. after my purchase, a major renovation project started. twelve months later, the end result is a beautiful, perfectly located, townhouse. This property seems to have more 'return visitors' than any other I have owned.

What makes this property unique

No cars whistling by your front door and a perfect location. Within fifty yards or so is everything you could need, including the sea! Olhao is a growing area with lots of new builds on the outskirts of town. However, Casa de Esquinha is right in the heart of this fishing village.
