Property information

As central as it gets, 120 meters from the waterline, we offer a beautiful Portuguese style accommodations. Narrow cobble streets, coffee houses and the true sprit of the Algarve. Our rooms are beautiful and comfortable. We keep our pension meticulously clean and we are always there to help. From our rooftop (we are one of the highest structures in the old town of Olhao), you will have a panoramic view of Ria Formosa, the old town and the mountains to our north. Hang out to enjoy fabulous sunrises and sunsets.

Neighbourhood information

Olhão is surrounded by ‘ilhas’, white sand island beaches, which protect the marshy lagoon, Reserva Natural da Ria Formosa, an environmental and conservation area for birds and marine life. The two main Olhão beaches are Ilha da Culatra ('Island of Culatra') and Ilha da Armona ('Island of Armona') The Islands are served all year round with regular ferry crossings from Olhão’s jetty a short 5 minute walk from Pension Bicuar Residencial. Ilha da Culatra is the bigger of the two islands. The western end of Ilha da Culatra ,with the lighthouse, is known as Ilha do Farol. The next ilha just to the west of Farol is Ilha Deserta, a beautiful island with nothing more than a stretch of beautiful soft sand backed by vegetation and a single restaurant.
