Pros:

Ottima posizione, a due passi dal molo per le isole, dal parcheggio gratuito, dal supermercato, e dal mercato coperto (a 50 metri). La movida non si sviluppa proprio sotto casa (ottimo per il riposo notturno) ma anche questa a poche decine di metri.

Cons:

Al posto del divano un divano letto sarebbe il top per consentire un utilizzo separato del soggiorno e della camera da letto.

Stay was ok, Olhão is lovely.
Pros:

It was a very large apartment, bit too big. Great location. We were able to check in early which was good. Bed clean.

Cons:

The bathroom sink had poor water pressure and the cover on a power point kept falling off. There were rugs on the floor that needed a good clean or replacing.

Pros:

Die Unterkunft ist sehr geräumig, super ausgestattet, hell, freundlich mit zwei Terrassen.

Cons:

Leider ist die Lüftung der Pizzeria Pedra gegenüber sehr laut, sodass es keinen Spass macht, sich tagsüber oder abends auf der schönen Terrasse aufzuhalten

Perfect, as always! This is the 4th time we have stayed here, highly recommend
Pros:

Perfect location, situated just one street back from the main road where you will find lots of great restaurants, a fab pastelaria, couple of bars, access to the ferry’s and of course the market.
As it is self catering, the local supermarket is just 5 minutes away on foot for everything you need.
We had one of the 2 penthouse apartments which have 2 terraces, perfect for sunbathing, relaxing and eating al fresco. Had everything you need including excellent wifi, big shower and spacious living area

Cons:

Pin was missing from the big umbrella so could not get it to stay up properly - a very minor issue!

Pros:

Die Lage mitten in der Altstadt mit ihren engen Gässchen, vielen Restaurants und Geschäften und vor allem in unmittelbarer Nähe der Markthallen ist ideal. Das Haus ist ruhig und sehr sauber und ordentlich, genau wie das Appartement. Im Grunde fehlt es an nichts. Das Appartement war mit kleinen Dekoartikeln liebevoll eingerichtet. Wunderschön auch der Ausblick von der möblierten Dachterrasse.

Cons:

Für 2 Personen gibt es nur 1 bequemen Sessel, der aber in einer Ecke steht, wo man ihn kaum benutzt. - Die Barhocker am Tisch quietschen bei jeder Bewegung und sind nicht sonderlich bequem.
- Das Spannbetttuch auf dem sehr bequemen Doppelbett war leider viel zu klein und rutschte immer weg sobald man es benutzte.
- Der Fernseher hat keine deutschen Programme.
- Der Abfluss in der Dusche müsste mal wieder gereinigt werden.

The property was brilliant
Pros:

Location was brilliant, considering it was set back a block the view was good. There were vents from a restaurant in front but below our balcony as others have mentioned but you didn’t see them unless you stood at the wall and looked down, sat or lay down they were not in view, the location is convenient and central and not set on a beach so vents etc can be expected and are not an issue. The penthouse was large and modern, a large comfy bed with good facilities , we really enjoyed our stay and will return.

Cons:

One small suggestion, either they didn’t have a chopping board or we couldn’t find one. It would be handy to have one I wouldn’t dream of cutting or chopping on the work tops. We had no issues with anything else
