The setting around the hotel was really lovely. Nice big pool and a lovely patio. What I loved was the hotel was out in the country. Beautiful scenery along the way. The breakfast was good. We also had a light lunch which was tasty.

Beautiful old and new Olhao. Plenty of restaurants and bars in the area and never had a bad meal. Actually loved every meal I had. A long waterfront takes you from the old town to the new town and plenty to see and do.

Lovely little town, with an old town to stay in and explore...
Lovely little town, with an old town to stay in and explore and a newer town which we didn't really visit. We found the old town to be inviting, quaint, clean, and big enough to meet your needs for restaurants, shops, and easy access back onto the highway. There are no beaches to walk on, you need to take a boat but we didn't try it out. We enjoyed everything within walking distance. There is a promenade to walk a long the water with outdoor seating and great food, loved the garlic butter shrimp, a popular dish everywhere.

I know Olhao as a cheap and quit place but not anymore, its too noisy and expensive for us so unfortunately our next trip will be somewhere else.
For children there is not so much to do.
Its an excellent place for the eldery because of the shops, the bars, the restaurants and the boats to the beach. Eveything is easy to reach by car, bus, train, boat or taxi.
You have to be carefull for sunburn. Especially at the beach.
I dont burn easily but even early in April I got burned so much it hurts.
Be carefull! Also please dont swimm, the water is *** cold and we experienced first hand the tide can take you away from the beach,.

We u5ed to travel to Olhao every winter for at lea5t a month, but for the pa5t five year5 have gone el5ewhere. Thi5 year it wa5 the perfect place to 5pend our la5t of 10 week5 away and we were delighted to 5ee and experience all of new development of the waterfront/marina and main avenida area5. Olhao ha5 lot5 to offer, from great re5taurant5, unique 5hopping, fanta5tic market area and the ferry to the i5land5 i5 a MU5T. We e5pecially recommend taking the ferry to Farol or Culatra, then walking the beach/5and dune5 to the other community [take5 about 40 minute5]. It'5 5tunning and a unique experience.
Ea5y local train will take you to other communite5 along the Algarve for tho5e without a car who wi5h to explore the 5urrounding communitie5.

Great City, much nicer than Faro or Albufeira.
Great City, much nicer than Faro or Albufeira.
Some great restaurants, perfect location to drive with your car somewhere. The city is also clean, despite all the beggars coming to you while have a drink or while eating, that's can be irritating at some point.
The pool area is incredibly well kept and tidy. It's like having your own private pool.
The rooms were huge, there was 8 of us and not once did we feel cramped.
Everything is clean, the staff are lovely and attentive. We genuinely have nothing bad at all to say about Villas Marim, this is far beyond a hotel.
Two nice restaurants next door (walking distance)
Aldi is a 6 minute drive away and Olhao is a 9 minute drive away. The lovely Tavira is 25 minute drive away.
Highly recommended staying here.
Great location close to Market, town centre, bars , restaurants and cafes. Unfortunately left some clothes in the apartment, but telephoned next day to receive very helpful information to return and collect from delightful staff.
Best boat tour around the Ria’s with Sabina boat tours, Maria’s help re booking and Joah as Captain, with his exceptional knowledge of the area, fish/clam farming, and lots of stories from his life long experience of living in Olhao was a terrific afternoons trip.
Well located Hotel and within easy reach of Faro Airport. Situated in a quiet area of the Old Town with many Cafes and Shops on the way to the sea front and Historic Fish Market. The rooms were very clean and tidy and Hotel staff exceptional. They were able to help with advice and suggestions on travel with Train Station within 5 minutes walk. Breakfast was also very good with plenty of choices. I would certainly reccomend this Hotel.
Only a short drive away from the airport, this apartment couldn’t have been better for our family. We were welcomed by Antonio, a very kind gentleman who gave us very good information. Uber is the best option for transportation if you’re not driving here.
The apartment was immaculately clean. Fully stocked kitchen. Nice pool. Plenty of dining options within walking distance. Boat excursions available from the nearby marina.
Joao, our host was great. The best host ever. He helped us by booking a table at a lovely restaurant. The day that we arrived he took time to suggest us things to do and where to go, focusing more on the local parts of the surroundings, not only the touristic part. The location is great, the house has a lovely little terrace and everything you need. We had coffee and fruits waiting for us. Everything was nice.
Absolutely amazing accommodation in the historic part of Olhão. In the old Portuguese house you will breathe the true atmosphere of beautiful Portugal. I would especially like to thank the host Andrea, who made our stay even more pleasant with her perfect care for our comfort. The rooftop terrace is a great place to drink wine and watch the sunset. By the way, wine is like a nice attention on arrival.
The staff were friendly, the bathroom was inside the shared room, which I think it was good because those in the room did not have to leave the room to use the bathroom. Excellent location. 800 metres away from the centre of Olhão with a very pleasant evening life, very chilled. Also, location wise, also very close to the ferries to travel to the ria formosa islands of Farol, Culatra and Armona.
The room was lovely and extremely clean and the lobby was beautiful and spotless- the staff were incredibly helpful and very gracious. It was a lovely stay and a pleasure to see the surrounding beaches and the town. It was my first introduction to Portugal and it could not have been a better one-- I hope to return from America and stay with you again one day.
Beautiful hotel in great location right on the front in Olhão. There is a lovely view of the market hall and the Ria Formosa beyond (can even see the clam pickers out in the morning). Generous breakfast which you can eat on the terrace with said view. Room is clean, comfortable and stylish, I really liked that it opened onto the terrace.
Very kind and hospitable host who is doing everything to make sure his guests have a great stay
Spacious, clean, modern apartment with balcony and spacious, clean bathroom
Extensive, tasteful breakfast
Located in the non-touristy authentic part of Olhao
Excellent value for money
A beautiful room in traditional Portuguese house with additional sitting and breakfast areas and two lovely terraces. Our only regret was only booking one night. We would definitely like to return to Olhao and would definitely stay at this accommodation again
The location of the flat is amazing, within a walking distance to all of Olhao best atractions.
It was an amazing stay, my family enjoyed it also.
The flat is fully furnished with everything you need to enjoy some fantastic holidays.
Absolutely beautiful hotel in the perfect location. Delicious fresh breakfast and staff could not be more accommodating. Special shout out to Bea and Sara who went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible 💖.
They gifted my husband with a botlle of champagne and brownies for his birthday. We thought it was such a nice surprise! Great service. Amazing breakfast. Those were the best days of our vacation.
the place is comfortable - the best thing about the property is the host Cristina -she is the perfect host : welcoming caring -great communication — helpful
