Exceptional townhouse with a private pool on the terrace, in the heart of Olhão's old town, just 2 minutes from the sea. The house includes, on the ground floor, a living room, a kitchen, and a toilet. On the first floor, there are 2 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, and a rooftop terrace with a private pool, solarium, and summer kitchen. Very bright and cross-ventilated, it overlooks a shared patio with a small fountain and offers top-quality features.. The space Recently remodeled with the help of a prominent architect and local artisans, it provides discreet comfort and luxury while respecting the unique cubist soul and architecture of Olhão's historic center. The house is decorated in a "country chic" style, with dominant tones of white and gray and small touches of color. The decor is very elegant, featuring mirror and light play. A small balcony overlooking the patio invites you to dream of moonlit serenades to the tune of fado. A private pool on the rooftop terrace provides a relaxing retreat. I’ve designed it to create a bubble of calm and light, a timeless interlude of serenity in the heart of the bustling streets, shops, restaurants, and markets of the Algarve's largest fishing port and Ria Formosa. Handcrafted cement tiles by a master artisan, unique pieces imported from various countries reflecting former Portuguese colonies, and restored old doors and windows by a master carpenter—I wanted to preserve the often-overlooked soul and history of Portugal and the Algarve. All this is combined with modern comforts, including quality beds (king-size 1.80m, 2 beds of 0.90m), silent reversible air conditioning, and high-performance WiFi (fiber), despite the thickness of the walls. The kitchen is fully equipped with an oven, induction hob, microwave, refrigerator-freezer, dishwasher (because we have other things to do on vacation…), washer-dryer, espresso machine (Dolce Gusto), and more. The summer kitchen on the terrace, with a refrigerator, sink, and plancha, allows you to enjoy the Algarve’s mild weather and sunshine, and to spend unforgettable evenings in front of a drink while enjoying the reflections and light play of the pool. It’s also a chance to revisit memories with Pac-Man, Super Mario, Mario Kart, The Legend of Zelda, Mega Man, Donkey Kong, F-Zero, and all the others from the Nintendo Classic for relaxed evenings during aperitif time on a large screen. The pool has saltwater, providing perfect hygiene without the risk of allergies or red eyes. Sheets and towels are provided: all the comfort of a true guesthouse. No need for a car to shop, dine out, enjoy the Ria Formosa, and access the beaches of the beautiful islands of Culatra, Farol, and Armona. The Elegant is particularly well-suited for two couples or a family with children. The house is stocked with essentials for your first continental breakfast: - Milk - Orange juice - Butter - Jam - Fresh bread - Coffee - Tea - Sugar Very complete high-quality equipment, easy parking, WiFi, Nintendo console, 55" 4K smart TV, Faro airport 15 minutes away..
