Casa Rosa Olhao - Hotel in Algarve
Av da Republica No:27, 8700-308 Olhao, Algarve
Southern Portugal,
Portogallo
This is a grand base for exploring the unspoilt eastern Algarve. The town sits on the banks of the Ria Formosa and still has a working fishing fleet so you'll enjoy the freshest fish and seafood in all the restaurants. A generous courtyard is the place to sit with a cocktail and a good book – top up your tan on a comfy lounger and slide into the unheated pool when you feel too hot.
En suite bedrooms (six on the ground floor, four on the first) are very comfortable and pleasant with views over the courtyard or onto the street. Double glazing and good shutters mean you shan't be disturbed by any noise. Wake to scrumptious breakfasts of homemade pastries and breads, seasonal fruits, cured hams, good cheeses, and eggs made to order. You'll find board games and books for rare rainy days.
You're offered a drink on arrival, acupuncture and massage is available in your room, bikes can be hired and there are local tours and experiences.

Local points of interest from Sara .:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Sara .:
- The Ria Formosa is simply glorious. It is a natural park with some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. There are salt marshes and sandbanks that are home to a wonderful birdlife as well as sweet clams and oysters.
- Ilha da Armona, just a 15 minute ferry ride away. It has no cars, just a path that cuts through the middle of the island from the small ferry jetty (there are good beaches here if you don't fancy the walk) to the vast Atlantic and estuary beaches on the other side.
- Culatra and Farol, which people think of as two islands, but are actually two small communities on one large island connected not by road but by beach.
- Casa Rosa is just a five-minute walk from Olhão station where you can jump on the Linha do Algarve, the state-run train line that takes in the towns of Faro, Olhão and Tavira and ends at Vila Real de Santo António.
- Chá, Chá, Chá, run by the British journalist Kevin Gould, is always fun and the menu takes what he fancies from the market that morning and plays with a repertoire he has learned over many years as a food writer, mixing it with Portuguese recipes.
- You might want to try the Grupo Naval de Olhão, known as the GNO, with a terrace overlooking fishing boats and yachts and the ria. You definitely should book and if you’re a fan of seafood you can pre-order a ‘mariscada’, a massive platter featuring crab, prawns, oysters, clams and more.
