Olhão – Duplex in a Restored Private Mansion, the Softness of a Private Garden
Some houses are discovered like a secret being revealed, and this is one of them.
Nestled in one of Olhão’s most distinguished neighborhoods, where the city’s former bourgeoisie once built their homes, this duplex occupies most of a beautifully restored private mansion.
A residence shared by only two owners, where every detail reflects preserved beauty, light, and serenity.
Behind the pastel façade, richly decorated with period moldings and ceramic tiles in perfect harmony, an elegant entrance rises to over three meters high, and the atmosphere immediately takes hold.
Patinated walls, generous space, and light sliding across the moldings evoke a timeless sense of calm and refinement.
Spread over two levels, the apartment offers magnificent proportions and abundant natural light, all within an atmosphere of absolute tranquility.
To the right, a spacious bedroom overlooking the street is bathed in daylight.
Next to it, a bathroom of remarkable charm, with both shower and bathtub, spacious enough to feel like a hotel suite.
Opposite lies an inner suite, almost secret, a true retreat. Here, natural wood and soft lighting create a peaceful setting for rest, meditation, or daydreaming.
A little further on, an inner children’s room evokes a cabin, a cocoon, a playful world full of imagination.
Then, the heart of the home unfolds.
The living room, dining room, and kitchen flow naturally into one another, forming a harmonious and luminous ensemble.
Each space retains its own atmosphere: an intimate lounge for relaxing, a dining room and an inviting kitchen opening onto the terrace, perfectly integrated with the life of the garden.
The circulation is fluid, life moves freely between indoors and outdoors.
Everything here invites open-air living, reading in the shade, dining on the terrace, enjoying the summer kitchen, admiring the distant storks’ nests, or listening to the gentle sound of water.
The garden, mature and perfectly maintained, is a world of its own, a haven of freshness where the city seems to disappear.
A small fountain whispers softly, recalling the charm of Provençal or Tuscan courtyards where time seems to stand still.
At the far end, the 2x6 m swimming pool blends seamlessly into the setting.
You can swim, relax, or simply enjoy the serenity, always in complete privacy.
A discreet gate opens onto the side street, perfect for returning with bicycles, surfboards, or beach gear without passing through the house.
A staircase leads to the upper floor, where generous storage areas await.
Here, the master suite overlooks the garden, with a bright bathroom, a private sitting area, and a dressing room, an oasis of balance and quiet beauty.
Another staircase leads to the rooftop, spacious and sunlit, still awaiting its next chapter.
One can easily imagine an outdoor summer lounge, light drapes, comfortable armchairs, a firepit, and long evenings under the stars.
From here, the storks’ nests visible across the rooftops offer a serene reminder of the surrounding nature.
Just across the street, a private garage with an electric door completes this rare ensemble (transferable rental contract).
The owners also hold a mooring and a boat, available for sale separately, an ultimate privilege for those who dream of combining lifestyle and freedom.
Whether your project is to live here year-round, raise your children, enjoy a peaceful retirement, or welcome your family for holidays, Olhão embraces every way of life.
Located between Tavira and Faro, the town enjoys a perfect position, about twenty minutes from the international airport, close to the port, beaches, and main roads.
Here you’ll find everything you need for a balanced lifestyle, local markets, restaurants, schools, and quality healthcare, in a setting that’s both lively and serene.
Here, children keep vivid memories of sunny days and shared laughter, those simple, precious moments forever engraved in their minds.
Olhão is a place that adapts to every rhythm, every stage of life, and every generation,
a place to live, to share, and to enjoy the very best of the Algarve.
