After a wonderful stay last year for the first time in Casa Amor we had to come back, we love Olhão and have visited the town many times but this hotel makes every visit much more special. Breakfast is unparalleled, the hotel vibe is intimate but never too much. Thank you Walter, Jack and all the personnel, see you next year (if not earlier)!
