Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need a car during our stay?
A car is not strictly necessary if you plan a relaxed holiday focused on Casa Opala and its immediate surroundings. The property is peaceful and private, perfect for unwinding. You can easily reach the island via ferry, which is a scenic and convenient way to arrive. However, if you wish to explore multiple spots beyond Olhão: such as beaches, villages and hidden gems across the area having a car is highly recommended. It gives you full flexibility to discover the region at your own pace and make the most of your stay. For shorter trips or day excursions, taxis and local transport are also available.
Is there parking available nearby?
Parking is available on the streets around the house, but the parking spaces are very narrow. Parking in the old town is truly an experience. On the plus side, it's free in most areas (but not all, so please take care). Park best on this main street: Rua Almirante Reis (A wider 2 way street to park).
Can we drink the tap water?
Tap water on the island is safe for brushing teeth and cooking. However, most visitors prefer bottled water for drinking due to taste and mineral content. Bottled water is widely available in local supermarkets.
What is the check-in and check-out time?
Arrival and departure: Check-in time is from16:00 (4.00pm) (WET) on the day of your arrival, as to ensure that the house is clean and ready to welcome you.Check-out time is at 10:00 (10.00 am) (WET) on the day of your departure.
