Such a beautiful house, immaculate, really well designed, modern but authentic. Kitchen was really well equipped for cooking, great pans, sharp knives etc - spacious and Delicous homemade granola. Bathroom was stunning, huge shower and well designed (again) and full of lots of great plants. Rooftop was perfect! big outdoor sofa for chilling with a plunge pool to cool yourself down in. We could have just sat up there all day if there wasn’t so much to explore in Olhao. Just so wonderful I would go back in a flash I also now want to live in the town. The house was was well located too, ten minute walk to chachacha (the most divine restaurant) and clse to the ferry too to explore the neighbouring beaches. Steph was the perfect host too, so friendly, accommodating and helpful made us feel so welcome and even baby sat for us whilst we had a dinner out. Steph also sourced us a travel cot for our toddler and highchair as well as leaving lots of toys and books for him to play with. 10/10
