Very centrally located in Olhão, right in front of one of the city’s main churches, this highly-rated hostel places you within walking distance of the pier for the ferries to the magnificent (and nearly deserted!) beaches of the islands of the Ria Formosa Natural Park. It’s named after its neighbors -- you can see stork nests at the top of the church. You can almost touch them from the terrace, where guests relax at the end of the day. Inside, there’s the choice of dorms with shared bathrooms or double rooms with private bathrooms. It’s also possible to prepare meals in the shared kitchen.
