This is an absolutely perfect way to cook the fresh fish you van buy at the daily fish market and you will be living like a local in no time.
As it can get more than very hot in the summer months we have provided and an easy to use sliding shade that shades the table form the hot Algarve sun meaning the terrace can be used all times of the day. This terrace give simply magnificent views of the streets below and across the lower rooftops fo the Town.
Just by the terrace entrance is set of steps that lead up to another terrace and here the views are simply spectacular. It is a wonderfully surprising private spot but gives you such interesting and stunning 360 views. Being so high the vistas takes in a huge part of the coast and sea and from many different angles. Originally built for the wives of the fishermen to watch their husbands sail home safe this lookout is particularly high! Maybe this was once the home of a richer fisherman to be able to obtain such a good view?
We have placed 4 sun loungers and a small coffee table on the top terrace and also a sliding shade. This way you can enjoy this terrace all day long.

Arrival Day
We set the arrival time at your holiday home to be any time after 1600. This is to allow us time to prepare the holiday home for you. We are extremely flexible in that we will try and prepare the holiday home to coincide with your flight arrival time. But we can not guarantee this will happen. We are also happy to allow you leave baggage at the holiday home whilst the property is being prepared allowing you to get the most out of your holiday.
We ask that you carefully read the holiday home manual we will send you before the start of your holiday, as this contains all the contact information of the Manager who will be meeting you and looking after you during your holiday.
Our Manager will be expecting a telephone call from you on arrival day. The Manager will only attend the property after that phone call in readiness to meet you. We do not have a reception and each guest is met personally. If we have more than one client at once arriving we will let you know and ask that maybe you give us a little time. Maybe pop for a coffee and we can call you when we are ready to meet you. Our Manager will like to spend some time with you explaining how appliances work in the holiday home and let you know about the local area and will be happy to answer any questions you might have.
Departure Day
We set the departure time at 1000. We ask for your departure details or plans once you leave us. This way we can schedule our holiday home preparation for the next guest just like we did for you. If we can offer a later stay during the winter months we will try and accommodate you. In the Summer months due to the high volume of guests we have to strictly adhere to the 1000 departure time at the latest.
Our "All important" Welcome Book
Before the start of your holiday we will send you our online Guest Welcome Book which is packed with everything you need to know about your holiday Home and the local area.
The book gives you all of the meeting arrangements, directions and how to get the keys.
We have tried to give you a real insight and help you to plan your holiday before you even arrive.
Our online Guest book is compatible with smart phones and tablets meaning you can take the guest book with you where ever you go to maximise your holiday experience.
During your holiday if you find places not in the book you would like to recommend to future guests please do let us know and we would love to add them to our book. The idea is to offer a great book that guests find useful.

Reviews
The apartment is great we love the location and it is beautifully furnished. We have stayed in Olhau on many occasions at different accommodations. Viktor was great and showed us everything we needed on arrival.
We had an excellent holiday staying at House Uva. It is in the perfect location being very central and has easy access to all amenities. The two sun terraces were fantastic and we made full use of them having had great weather all week. The beds in both bedrooms were extremely comfortable and the bedrooms were a good size with plenty of storage space. The kitchen was well equipped and provided everything we needed as we cooked breakfast each morning, the odd lunch and a dinner on one evening. It was great having both a washing machine and dishwasher.
As we had a late flight home at 8.00pm from Faro, we requested a late check out and Victor was extremely facilitating letting us stay until we were ready to leave. This was very much appreciated, thank you Victor.
We are all in agreement that we would return to House Uva in the future for another holiday in Olhao.
"Wir waren für 3 Wochen in dieser tollen Wohnung und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Lage ist perfekt. Der Bäcker ist 2 min entfernt. Besser und zentraler kann man in Olhão kaum wohnen. Alle wichtigen Orte wie z.B. der Bahnhof, die Fähre und auch die Markthallen sind super schnell zu erreichen. Die Wohnung ist mit allem notwendigen Dingen für den Alltag ausgestattet. Die Terrassen und der Ausblick sind ein Traum."
Thanks Sam
"Nice flat, very clean and functional, friendly hostess, the e-guide has great tips!"

Firstly, a huge thank you to Mars Algarve for what can only be described as an excellent customer experience. Their online 'guest welcome book' provides very helpful information and it is reassuring to know that support is available 24hrs a day if required.
Apartment UVA is a spacious, clean, light, airy, comfortable and well appointed holiday home situated in a wonderful location, close to markets, Ria Formosa, ferries, train station, shops, bars & restaurants.
(Access is via stairs so may not be suitable for people with poor mobility).
We have just spent 19 days in the apartment and are already looking forward to our return in September.
