Semi-detached country house with garden near Fuzeta
Ideally positioned between the village of Fuzeta and the coastal town of Olhão, this traditional semi-detached country house enjoys close proximity to the area’s renowned island beaches while remaining within easy reach of cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities. The location offers a rare balance of tranquillity and accessibility in one of the Algarve’s most desirable coastal settings. Occupying a private 154 m² plot, the property is welcomed by a charming garden that captures sunshine throughout the day. This intimate outdoor space provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining, relaxed barbecues or peaceful mornings under clear southern skies. At the northern end of the plot, a designated area allows for the parking of bicycles or a small car, adding valuable practicality without compromising the garden’s privacy and appeal. The house has been carefully renovated to preserve its original character while incorporating modern comforts. An inviting entrance hall leads directly to a bathroom, ensuring convenience and functionality. The interior then opens into a bright living room with lounge and dining or breakfast areas flowing seamlessly into an open-plan kitchenette, creating a sociable and well-proportioned living environment. A staircase leads to a charming mezzanine level beneath the roof, currently arranged as a bedroom retreat. Filled with natural light and architectural character, this upper floor also benefits from its own en-suite bathroom, forming a cosy and private sanctuary within the home. Combining coastal proximity with appealing outdoor space and a thoughtfully designed interior, this semi-detached country house near Fuzeta presents an excellent opportunity to enjoy authentic Algarve living in a highly sought-after seaside location.
OLHAO
To discover the hidden charm of Olhão visit the top of the main church tower and see the the hundreds of roof terraces - the "açoteias" -, typical of the Algarve, which create a unique urban panorama. On street level it is worth wandering through the fishermen's quarter, which stands between the quay on the Ria Formosa and the main city church. The houses here are small and white, their walls topped with bands of geometric decoration that are in effect the verandas of the roof terraces. The streets that border the Avenida da República, itself a symbol of the urban development that took place at the turn of the century, reflect a city of industrials and ship-owners who grew rich from the fish processing business and trade, displaying their wealth by decorating their homes with verandas, tiles, carved stonework and wrought iron.
Any tour of Olhão should end among the refreshing gardens and open air cafés to be found along the long quayside. It is also worth a visit to the colourful atmosphere of the market, where the stands sell fish straight from the sea, fresh vegetables and sweet fruit from nearby farms.
No visit to Olhao should take place without a trip to the islands of Armona and Culatra via ferry or private water taxi and which can also provide an opportunity to take a trip along the Ria and visit many different quiet and attractive beaches.
FARO
The Algarve’s capital has a more distinctly Portuguese feel than most resort towns. Many visitors only pass through this underrated city, which is a pity, as it makes for enjoyable exploring. It has an attractive boat marina, well-maintained public parks and plazas, and a picturesque cidade velha (old town) ringed by medieval walls. The old town's winding, cobbled pedestrian streets, squares and buildings were constructed in a melange of styles and are home to museums, churches, a bone chapel and numerous al fresco cafes, restaurants and bars.
