A very nice flat, it has everything you will need and more
We spent 6 days in Lucy's flat. It is spacious and comfortably furnished, with everything one might need, even shampoo and two umbrellas (which we did need to use twice). There was butter, cheese and milk in the fridge when we arrived, and a bottle of wine, bread, jam, fresh fruit, coffe and tea left in the kitchen, and when we had a problem with something Lucy came at once to sort it out. Each room has a heater, which was good as it was still quite cold. The flat is is a modern apartment, some 10 minutes walk from the old town, but very near the station and close to a large shopping centre. Olhao is a small town, so it is easy to get around. We had a good stay - thank you Lucy for being such a good host.

Un séjour parfait
Nous avons été reçus par Lucy, qui nous a tout expliqué.
Le logement est parfait, rien n'y manque.
Lucy est très réactive et très gentille.
Très bonne situation géographique, en tournant un peu nous trouvions une place de stationnement non loin.
Tout est fait pour vous donner l'envie d'y revenir.

Perfect startpunt in de Algarve.
De locatie voldeed perfect aan onze wensen, om te dienen als uitvalsbasis om de Algarve verder te ontdekken met het OV.
De functie toets "GAAN" van Google maps was daarbij een perfect hulpmiddel. We hebben daarbij veel plezier gehad van een hotspot via Vodafone.

Uitstekend vakantie appartement.
Goed appartement. Complete inventaris. Eigenaresse Lucy Wilson zeer vriendelijk en geeft uitstekende uitleg over de omgeving.
Een mand met wijn, fruit en koffie staat ter verwelkoming klaar. Doordat het appartement direct bij bus en trein station is gelegen, is het geschikt voor bezoek aan allerlei plaatsen
in de omgeving. Het centrum van het gezellige stadje is op loopafstand.
