There are parking opportunities for rental cars around the old town. Situated right in the heart of Olhão, Casa Fuzetta offers an experience that is at once tranquil and vibrant. The villa and rooftop pool form a serene haven, whist simultaneously granting access to the sight and sounds of a bustling Portuguese seaport. Olhão is also located in one of the gems of Portugal's most renowned region for visitors, the Algarve, offering a beguiling blend of reliably lovely weather (300 days of sunshine a year), world class golfing and leisure activities, and superb dining and wine tasting experiences. There is no beach in Olhão, however the property is located 450 metres from the waterfront. You can easily walk to the ferries which take you four different islands, known for its spectacular beaches, which, even in peak season, are not crowded as the rest of the Algarve. The village and its surrounded offer a true, authentic, Portuguese experience. The laid back town, which was salvaged by artists, offers seclusion and tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of the Algarve. Olhão's plethora of restaurant options is hugely varied, but often united by good value and excellent, often unusual, seafood dishes. It is prized for its local cockles, clams and oysters. Hugely popular O Bote restaurant serves up hearty portions of grilled fish and wine. For a different experience Doca's Pizza serves light and crispy handmade pizzas and other Italian delicacies in a stunning stone-walled setting. Visitors to the beach cafe at Ilha de Armona can enjoy fresh catches of the day in an inspiring environment of wild beauty. Casa Fuzetta's central location ensures that right on the doorstep there is a wonderfully authentic blend of evocative faded grandeur, eateries and boutiques, and ambitious restoration projects. The house places strong emphasis on wellness, with superb yoga opportunities onsite and expert input available on the best local hiking, biking and paddle-boarding. Olhão is one of the gateways to the Ria Formosa Natural Park, a site of many natural wonders including flamingos. There are beautiful and unspoiled local islands to explore including Armona, Culatra, Farol and Deserta. It is a short trip by ferry or water taxi or ferry to the white sand beach at Ilha de Armona, and there are many other attractive beaches nearby to explore. There are some wonderful yoga teachers, retreat chefs and therapists who have been working for Casa Fuzetta. There are plenty of extra curricular activities (olive oil tasting at the local olive groves, dolphin watching, nature walks, meeting local artists in their studio, massage treatments, tango classes...) available close by. There are also plenty of "free" experiences available when walking out of the front door... The markets are amongst the best I've been to anywhere in the world; and the outlying islands belong to a simpler time long forgotten. Olhão is the biggest fishing port in the Algarve, and every Saturday morning there is a fascinating and picturesque market on the seafront, brimming with fresh produce.
