The Experience

You’re just a two-minute walk from the centre of town and the harbour with its indoor covered fish market, so head down early for their famous clams and a myriad of other fresh produce straight from the boats. Bring your haul back to sleek granite worktops and plenty of space for prepping, or find an outdoor sink, comfy seating and barbecue up on the third-floor roof terrace. Views are Moorish: curved roofs, church spires, storks’ nests, mountains and sea.

Bedrooms (twin/doubles) are all a good size with tall ceilings, long windows with shutters, and gorgeous views over town: each has its own bathroom with walk-in showers. If the weather turns cold – which is rare in the Algarve – there is a wood-burner in the sitting room, but mostly you’ll be snoozing on sunbeds up the spiral staircase to the second roof terrace.

Stock up in the little store 20 metres from the door or spoil yourselves with supper at A do Fernando – a family-run place.

Sarah, Belfast

This villa is a real hidden gem in the characterful and unique town of Olhao. It is tucked away on a quiet street, a few streets back from the lovely town centre with its wonderful markets, along with many great bars and restaurants. The decor of the villa is exceptional, is very clean and has everything you would need in a home away from home type of holiday. A short ferry ride or water taxi takes you to the beautiful islands of Armona and Farol, with its long stretching, quiet beaches and variety of great beach bars. We hope to return soon and would have no hesitation in recommending.

We loved staying in the hub of the local village and enjoyed the modern accommodation . Would highly recommend this house . It’s just really cool house in a really cool place.

Location

The neighbourhood

Once you've explored all of the town you can hop on a ferry to the islands of Culatra or Armona - both have wonderful white sandy beaches. Go for a boat tour or a bike trip round the Ria Formosa natural park - there's plenty of flora and fauna to spot, including flamingos and maybe even dolphins. The old towns of Faro and Tavira are fascinating to explore.

Local points of interest from Katy McBurnie

  • 2014 THE TELEGRAPH​ The top 5 food and drink holidays in Portugal, “Shellfish in the Ria Formosa- If you want to try your hand at digging for razor clams or finding cockles and mussels, try the warm waters of the Ria Formosa. "
  • A popular past time in our family, suitable for all ages, is to jump in a water taxi and speed across to Farol, one of our local islands, where we while away the hours bathing, resting, exploring and of course enjoying the Portuguese hospitality.
  • If you would like to reach Faro - the nearest bustling city with historic town and harbour, just jump on the Olhao train and you are there in ten minutes.
  • My favourite spot in the morning is in a comfy armchair on the first terrace, calm and serene, enjoying a cup of tea. My favourite place in the evening is on the top terrace, relaxed on a lounger, overlooking the town, with a glass of Vino Verde in hand.
  • If you are a fan of all sport then there is a friendly sports bar, Prego@Fundo, minutes from the house, where you can watch sport on multiple screens inside or out, not to mention a pretty mean toastie.

Introducing

Katy McBurnie

Robin and Katy live in the UK and letting Casa Candido is a new venture for them - they completely renovated the house themselves. They know this area and have been coming here for years. Anna from the clothes shop down the road will meet and greet you, then is on hand if you need her.
