On a spacious 110 m² living space plus 47 m² roof terraces, up to 4 people can feel comfortable in the middle of Portuguese life. Subtle luxury with the magical colors of the south can be found everywhere in the house and creates a unique, romantic atmosphere. Contemporary comfort is harmoniously combined with the traditional. You don't have to do without a dishwasher, washing machine and iron. The two cozy bedrooms on the first (double bed 140x190) and second floor (double bed 160x200) have interestingly designed enSuite bathrooms. There is another toilet on the ground floor. There is also a living room, dining room and kitchen, which merge and offer plenty of space. There you will quickly find your favorite place - with a book in the armchairs, on the sofa in front of the flat-screen TV or in the winter months in front of the crackling open fire. Free high-speed internet access is just as natural as air conditioning. The highlights outside are two beautiful roof terraces with olive trees and flowers. The first cuddly, surrounded by 3 walls. The second, up a flight of stairs, with a great panoramic view with lots of local color over the Moorish, cubic Olhão to the sea ... BBQ, sun loungers, pergola and dining area ... Sunset with a good glass of wine included. Thanks to the various heating options, the "Casa Magica" is also perfectly suitable for wintering. The location of the "Casa Magica" is excellent.

The home is super clean and well-maintained. Communication with Peter was instant (we locked ourselves out and he was there in 15 minutes!). The two terraces were great for outdoor meals and just viewing Olhao from above. The kitchen, although small, is well-stocked. Two-minute walk to a nice grocery store. Close to restaurants, bars and the famous Olhao seafood and vegetable market. Lively neighborhood during the day but quiet at night. 10-minute walk to the train station. ##### Linda P.

Der Supermarkt ist wenige Meter entfernt, wie auch der Fährhafen und die Markthallen. Alles sehr gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Vom Flughafen sind wir mit dem Taxi nach Olhão gefahren zu erschwinglichen Preisen. Man braucht hier auf keinen Fall ein Auto. Wir haben die lauen Abende auf der Dachterrasse beim Grillen sehr genossen, wie auch die Möglichkeit gleich um die Ecke in den zahlreichen Restaurants zu essen. Sehr zu empfehlen sind die Badeausflüge zu den vorgelagerten Inseln Armona und Culatra mit ihren weißen Stränden, die man kostengünstig per Fähre erreicht. Peter ist ein hervorragender Gastgeber und wirklich um das Wohl seiner Gäste besorgt. Danke, wir werden bestimmt wiederkommen! ##### antje w.
