BOUTIQUE TOWNHOUSE WITH SWIMMING POOL FOR ALL SEASONS
On the Atlantic Ocean, in the Algarve, in the south of Portugal, lies the traditional fishing village of Olhão. The authentic old center consists of narrow alleys and winding streets with white and pastel-colored cubist houses with Moorish influences. This is where the townhouse of Casa Opala is located. This townhouse is equipped with all modern conveniences and an attractive interior.
Sturdy materials such as concrete and wood and clean lines are combined with soft pastel shades. The high ceilings with the white beams create a spacious effect. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, the apartment is ideal for two befriended couples or a family.
Open living room, bright & spacious kitchen and the adjacent terrace where you can eat outside. A nice extra is the roof terrace with swimming pool, outdoor shower and lounge area, with beautiful views over the historic heart of Olhão.
The fishing village and the surrounding area offer an authentic experience of the Algarve. Walk to the bakery in the morning for fresh bread rolls or have a delicious cup of coffee with a pastel de nata at one of the numerous Pastelerias. Dine on the promenade in the evening, with plenty of choice of traditional restaurants.
Along the waterfront you will also find the "Mercado Municipal", these market halls are a 'must' because of the wide variety of fresh fish and seafood and an extensive range of locally grown fruit and vegetables. The market halls are surrounded by terraces, where you can enjoy the view of the boats, with jazz music playing from one of the local cafes in the background. On Saturdays there is a farmers market from 0800-1300 hours, where the whole village and other villages from the area come together for their daily shopping.
Tip: enjoy the delicious local wines and delicious cheeses and olives from the region on the roof terrace at sunset.
