Olhao was such a nice surprise and a great base to explore the area. Doesn’t feel as touristy as Faro and the food options were amazing. Would recommend Pizza na Pedro - best Italian I have had in a long time. GNO if you want seafood and traditional Portuguese

Stunning Hotel and Staff

From the minute we arrived at the Hotel we were impressed. Stunning building, very Friendly staff from the Housekeeping, Reception and the Waiting on staff. Very clean, Breakfast choice was really varied and quality. The Pool was lovely and the best sun loungers we have ever lay on. The Food and drinks around the rooftop bar was also excellent and the Waiter service was a bonus. I will not hesitate in staying here again it was superb.

You won’t regret staying here! It’s super clean and relaxing. All staff is friendly and ready to help with any adventure you are trying to do. The pool areas has stunning views. The location is close enough to everything ( walking distance to water activities; restaurants; and bars) yet far enough away that it’s quiet at night and relaxing! Highly recommend.

Well-positioned hotel with small rooftop pool and bar area in the centre of Olhao near the ferries to Ria Formosa (a must visit but you must be prepared for a long walk). Our room was the only available when we booked and the wardrobe space was inadequate. The lady on reception changed our room after one day but choice was limited as it was August. We will return out of the holiday season.

Highly recommended

This was our third stay & we will likely return so that’s a good recommendation I think! The rooms are thoughtfully designed, most have balconies where one can sun bathe or picnic or read a book. The hotel is in the centre of Olhao & the front desk staff are always very helpful. The bar & small swimming pool on the top floor are good spaces & offer wonderful views of the town.

A return visit to Pure Formosa. As soon as I arrived it came back to me. How really nice this hotel and the staff are. Fantastic breakfast and a quiet rooftop pool together with friendly staff make this an excellent hotel. Looking forward to another visit to Olhão someday.

Boutique hotel in the quiet town of Olhao, roof top pool and bar, small but very well done with a few sunbeds, and seating. No dining at hotel apart from breakfast, but lots of restaurants with a 10 minute walk. Some of the standard rooms are pretty small for 2 people and luggage, so might be worth upgrading for a bit more space. Taxis are very affordable to get to Faro airport and train stations.
