The House
The story begins like this, long ago, the Barreta district of the small town of Olhao was inhabited by families of fishermen and merchants. The main fishery in this little corner of the Algarve was octopus and sardines which the fishing families dried on their roof terraces. Today, Olhao is still the largest traditional fishing port in Portugal, and the Barreta district retains its soul of yesteryear. One of its houses, Casa W Olhao is located some three hundred meters from the sea, it is surrounded by other houses of the same type. Renovated, it has two bedrooms which each overlook a different little street and two bathrooms. It is comfortable and on the top floor, you have the choice between a terrace with a beautiful lounge and deckchairs, and another with a barbecue, another lounge area and a table for dining.
Casa W Olhao is a few minutes' walk from the famous covered fish and fruit and vegetable markets, small restaurants and cafes, but remains quiet in the small traditional cobbled streets. The ferry to the islands of Armona, Culatra and Farol also.
Free parking is available on the street, right outside the house. The train station takes you to other towns in the Algarve and to the Spanish border. Faro Airport is just 18 km away. A car is not necessary.
