PRIVATE HOUSE - HISTORIC CENTER, WITH TERRACE AND BARBECUE

PRIVATE HOUSE - HISTORIC CENTER, WITH TERRACE AND BARBECUE

House in Tavira with equipped kitchen, 2 double bedrooms, one with air conditioning, the other with fan, two bathrooms, one with full shower and a magnificent terrace of 20m2 with barbecue, table, chairs and sun loungers.

It is close to the local shops, the Municipal Garden where you can relax at night, either on the magnificent terraces by the river Gilão, as well as in the numerous shows and fairs with regional products (honey, figs, brandy, homemade bread and appetizing sweets from the region.
The house is also close to restaurants with fresh fish, seafood, and typical dishes of the region.
Besides being a clean and calm city, Tavira is also historic dating back to the Phoenicians and Romans. It has wonderful white sand beaches

The villa is in the center of this beautiful historic town of Tavira, with its river Gilão, castle from the Middle Ages, art galleries, restaurants, bars and supermarkets. The closest beaches are Barril, Fuzeta, Ilha de Tavira and Cabanas. Access to the island of Tavira is 200m away, the other beaches are 10 minutes away. Ilha de Tavira was elected one of the 10 best beaches in the world for families! All beaches are in the 'Ria Formosa' Nature Reserve and are therefore very clean with excellent facilities.

Places of interest include local villages to the east in the Algarve and small towns such as São Brás, Vila Real de Sto António, Castro Marim, and further afield, Mertola, Alzejur, Serpa and Beja in the Alentejo.

From this property it is easy to take a trip to Spain. The beautiful border town of Ayamonte is not far by car (only 20 minutes), and once there, you can sample the delights of another country, including wine, tapas and excellent shopping. For the more adventurous the vibrant city of Seville is approx. 90 minutes.

There are a variety of good fish, meat and seafood restaurants serving excellent meals at reasonable prices just a few meters away.


This is a perfect accommodation for golfers who wish to experience excellent courses situated in the Eastern Algarve. Within a 20km radius there are 7 courses to choose from. Benamor and the 2 Quintas (Ria and Cima) are the most popular and can be reached in a few minutes. The prestigious new Monte Rei course designed by Jack Nicklaus now has its first 18 holes open. Just 10 kms further towards Spain, the challenging course of Castro Marim along with its famous country club is highly recommended and just across the border are Esuri Costa and Quinta do Vale courses now growing in popularity.

City town house
Maria is an excellent host she met us at the property and showed us round, the house is exactly as listed and convenient for shopping and restaurants. No car needed taxi rank just round the corner plus supermarket bus station 15min walk train station 20min walk. As you are in the centre you must expect some noise but there was no noise from bars or restaurants. You have a great roof terrace where we spent most nights having drinks also WiFi is excellent all over the house. I would like to thank Maria for her help and concern when my wife had an accident.

Friendly host
Maria was very friendly and helpful but the apartment was way overpriced for what it offers, and nothing near the standard one would expect for that price. And on arrival we had to pay cash for cleaning and linen! On departure we were charged for electricity and water, and would only accept cash. There is no comfortable relaxation area in the apartment. There is small couch in the kitchen which is small and cold, and it was not possible to heat to any extent as the electricity trips if you turn the heater up. There were no smoke or carbon monoxide alarms in the apartment, despite the gas cooker, and LPG gas cylinder being under the kitchen units. The apartment door leads directly onto a small tarmac lane along which traffic can travel at speed. You must check that there are no cars coming before stepping out into the lane, but there is no warning sign on the door. There supposed to be two bathrooms, but in fact there was only one. There is no hot water to the kitchen sink so you have to boil a kettle to wash the dishes. The toilet seat was laminated MDF which was cracked, and was quite unhygienic. The wi-fi was low data and very poor. Once we had used up our allowance (which didn’t take long), we were charged an additional fee for more. The bbq had not been cleaned. It was full of ash and the grill was rusty and unusable. Good points were that the sun terrace was a nice place to hang out when the weather was good (although it hadn’t been cleaned), and the bedrooms are comfortable (but no quilts, only blankets). It’s worth adding that we have stayed in Tavira and the Algarve several times and have never felt so exploited.

Always a great stay at this property
We visited the property again in late summer and as before, had a great time. The owner, Maria, makes the whole process from start to finish very straightforward and we saw her during our stay, of course it helped that we had been there before. The location is quiet at night and only mildly busy during the day, the surrounding streets are very narrow, so the traffic is minimal. It is just a short level walk to many bars and restaurants and the river is 2 minutes away. There is a well-stocked supermarket just around the corner. Inside the property, you have two double bedrooms and plenty of extras (pillows etc.) are provided. Good wifi is a bonus. Maybe not totally suitable for younger children, given the layout of the property but ideal for a couple or even two couples.

Having been to Tavira 5 times before we knew what we wanted from the accommodation. This property suits us well. The location is fantastic, quiet, but so close to restaurants, ferry to Tavira island etc. Maria is kind and will supply you with any information you may require.

A fantastic stay at this lovely property
This was not our first stay at this house in a quiet corner of the historical centre of Tavira and it will not be our last. Maria made the whole process from booking to check-out very friendly and we had no problems during our stay, although she was in regular contact to ensure we did not need anything. That was kind. The description in the listing of the property is very accurate and the facilities do give you the choice of eating in, dining out at any of the many restaurants within 5 minutes walk or even having a barbeque on the wonderful private roof terrace. Especially recommend Tasquinha da Paula nearby, which is a truly Portuguese dining experience. There is a well stocked supermarket just around the corner, 2 minutes walk, that sells everything you would need. Very nice house and property host, worthy of a 5* rating in our opinion.
