Great Unit and Location

We really enjoyed this place and location; we will try to get back. Just a hint to those coming in by plane or Americans that I think have different expectations. There are no pool towels, we had to buy pool towels, they give us one bath and hand towel each (based on persons on reservation), not all beds were made up so I had to make up one of the beds we decided to use, which was the one I think they thought we would not use. There is no bar or dish soap. Tiny bit of washing powder and some dishwasher tabs, no roll of paper towels. So pack it in or buy it when you get there, all this was not a deal breaker, but it is different than American VRBO expectations. Again, we did really love the unit, location, parking, beach and vibe of the area.

Great location and lovely host

Our family really loved our stay in Olhos de Agua. The location is perfect, especially for families with young children - just a minute walk to the nice small beach. The property was very clean, air con was working smoothly in all rooms, the kitchen was well equipped with all the dishes, glasses and cutlery you could need. There were no salt, pepper, sugar or coffee, but the wine was great! ;-) (Thanks, Anne!). The internet speed was good if you are close to the router. The modern furniture and decorations in the property make a very nice and cozy ambience. We also loved the amazing sea view from the terrace. Our host, Anne, is super friendly and helpful! She always responded very quickly and was ready to assist if we needed something. Thank you! We definitely recommend this property and would love to come back again.

Wonderful location

The views of the ocean and the activity in the restaurants below is fantastic from the large balcony. The late afternoon and evening shade makes the space very usable for outdoor dining, and there is a retractable awning for the morning. There are a number of fairly short trails that hug the cliffs and the beach that make for fantastic morning walks with stunning views. The internet speed isn’t great if you need to work remote (especially in the evening when it seems like everyone is starting to stream), but this is also typical of internet along the Algarve coast. Overall, it was a lovely stay for our family.

Right at the beach yet maybe too simple

Location perfect, 1min from beach. Rooms big enough and face the quite part, no night noise. Living / Dining area good. Excellent balcony. Grill shown on the ad can not be used, misleading. Pool access only after tons of stairs, not easy with young kids and old parents. Pool fully on the shade during the mid and late afternoon. Ants on the kitchen. Sofa super beaten up and used. Pillows very stiff for my liking.

About the host

Hosted by Mrs Cailleux

We are a French-Portuguese family with 3 children who live in Paris. We spend our holidays for 15 years in the center of Algarve.

We love everything of the Algarve : the climate summer and winter alike, the gastronomy, the sympathy of the portugueses, the beautiful fine sand beaches, the paths along the coast, the freshness of the Serra de Monchique and the medieval ferias of Silves, the wild islands which surround the lagoon da Ria Formosa, the desert of the cape St Vincent, the history of Sagres, the boat trips...

The children like quite particularly the aquatic parks, the Zoo Marine, the circuit of kart of Almancil...

Finally, we appreciate just as much to have within reach of hands the comfort and the modern infrastructures of an European country.

Because we really like very much Algarve, we intend even to move there one day...

Why they chose this property

After spending holidays in central Algarve for 15 years, we decided to buy a property. We chose this residence because the location is exceptional and it is one of the last new modern building having been built in sea front.

We fell under the fisherman's village of Olhos d’Agua and its eponym beach who knew how to keep their traditional character.
The name ' Olhos d' Agua ' means ' eyes of water ', it comes from the fresh water springs that rise in the beach.

When you leave the building, you are on a pedestrian street which allows you a direct access to the beach. It offers you numerous snack bars, ice-cream bars and restaurants where you can have an outdoor drink in the terrace to contemplate the horizon.
The pedestrian street continues on a walk lined with palm trees along the beach to arrive at the huts of traditional fishermen with lovely colored boats on the banister of launch.
You do not have more than to take advantage of grilled sardines or seafood platter to the restaurant ' La Cigale ' or simply a ' bica ' (strong coffee).
If you like sport, in low tide you can walk (or run) on the fine sand during almost 7 km until famous Vilamoura, its casino and its marina.

If you love marine life, you can observe between tides : limpets, topshells, buckshot barnacles, sea anemones and brightly coloured seaweed. The jagged rock formations give rise to isolated group of rocks, undercutting, archess, cavities and small sheltered coves, especially at the western end of the beach.

If you play golf, you can reach in 10 min on foot Balaia Golf, course of 9 holes. Approximately 18 golf, on 36 that offers Algarve, are situated unless 20 min by car.

If you are fond of night parties, Albufeira is accessible unless 5 min by car or by the local bus 'EVA' nearby.

What makes this property unique

Olhos d’Agua offers in the same time the peace and the charm of an old fishermen's village and the proximity of all the urban conveniences.
Its central location in Algarve allows to have a fast access to the airport (30 km), to visit the west coast until the Cap Sao Vicente (1h10 by A22), or to leave eastward to Castro Marim (50 min).
Algarve is a magnificent region which offers a big diversity of landscapes, atmospheres, activities, climate. That is why, everybody can spend of excellent holidays there and compose so its own souvenirs. If you wish, we can recommend you addresses or major sites, according to your tastes.

The duplex was carefully fitted out, it is functional and very well equipped. He allows to take advantage completely of holidays all year round: the system of air-conditioning in all the rooms brings some freshness in summer and heating for the colder months of winter.
You take advantage of an exceptional view from the private terrace or from the swimming pool fitted out with green spaces. Private parking lot closed for 2 cars.
Towels, bed linen and cleaning are included in the price of the rent. Towels are changed twice a week, linen of bed changed once a week.
