About this property

5 STAR VILLA, PRIVATE POOL,WIFI, TENNIS COURT, GARDENS, AUT.GATE -TAVIRA 3 km

Photos and Description of the near Tavira vacation farmhouse w private pool estate.
5 Star Air Conditioned Converted Farmhouse with Gated security entrance.
Quinta Mimosa is a luxurious and completely private converted farmhouse within its own walled grounds about 7 to 10 minutes drive from Tavira and the sea. It has large well manicured gardens, fruit orchard lawns, ancient trees such as carob and olive trees that are probably older than 500 years, terraces and beautiful views over the surrounding countryside to the sea . It has its own huge secluded pool surrounded by bougainvilleas clad stone walls and towering palm trees. Next to it there is a wonderful roofed barbecue area with fridge and bar.
Set among palm trees and surrounded by orange, lemon fig mango and many other fruit trees you will fall in love with this exceptional country residence. Enjoy a refreshing drink made from your own oranges and lemons while reclining on the cushioned loungers next to the huge pool.
Play tennis on the private clay tennis court with its own spectator area for your friends ! or limber up on the weight training and exercise machines !
The farmhouse has its own library with dvd’s and hundreds of books. In one of the two drawing rooms there is an extra large plasma television and satellite with all the sports and movie channels. Netflix is subscribed for watching TV episodes and movies. The other drawing room has an open wood burning fireplace and comfortable sofa’s and settees.
There is under floor heating and air conditioning throughout. If you enjoy cooking there is a California style kitchen with every amenity including, olive oil and eggs and fruit from the estate. Take advantage of the well-stocked herb gardens, rosemary, thyme, basil, mint…… You can visit the local market to buy produce grown in the surrounding farms and fish caught that day by the local wooden fishing boats which have their own harbour and fish market in the charming town of Tavira.
The area is famous for its beautiful sandy beaches, most with convenient restaurants. Stroll across the centuries old Roman bridge and take a refreshing drink in one of the many cafes bordering the River Gilao in the centre of quaint old town of Tavira. The town itself is full of restaurants and shops and from here you can take a little ferry or a water taxi to the island (Ilha de Tavira) with sandy beach and crystal clear waters. There there is a diving school and most water sports are available.
There are more than 30 well known golf courses along this stretch of the coast. Four of the nearest, Quinta da Ria, Quinta da Cima, Monte Rei and Benamor are just a few minutes away.
The property is only a 25 minute drive from Faro's airport which makes it an ideal holiday base. Car hire is not essential but is recommended for exploring the area and to drive to Tavira and the local small towns

Wonderful and relaxing time
Our group was 2 couples ( in our 60s) staying for a week. The Villa was perfect as both bedrooms had en suites along with decent sized living areas to relax. We enjoyed the fresh oranges from the groves that are part of the property. It is a very quiet and relaxing environment. We did not walk into the town as it is a long walk - a car is necessary . The pool is large and a focal point of the villa. It does require some maintenance due to missing tiles. the house had a few more cobwebs than we would have expected... that could easily have been removed before we arrived. Overall we really enjoyed the property and would recommend staying there.

A fantastic holiday at Quinta Mimosa - just what we needed. Peace and quiet, beautiful extensive grounds with gorgeous oranges and figs (mangoes not quite ripe!). The pool was amazing and we played tennis every day. The beds and sunbeams were very comfy (we have dodgy backs and are quite fussy) and kitchen very well equipped. Lots of outside seating areas. The hammock could do with being replaced but part from that all lovely. Less than 10 mins into Tavira for supplies and great restaurants. Dina met us on arrival and was very quick to respond to any questions. Emmanuel the Gardner was also very helpful. Thank you Quinta Mimosa!

Quinta Mimosa
Ten days of heaven! This was one of the best places we have ever rented and there have been a few. The property is absolutely gorgeous-and there is a lot of it! The gardens and the pool are stunning. The house is lovely and well equipped. There is an impressive library and lots of seating areas to cozy up to. Dina, our host, was on property to greet us and was quick to respond to any questions. The drive into Tavira to all the restaurants takes 5 minutes. We would love to come back!

Outstanding Villa
Quinta Mimosa sits on top of a beautiful hill and overlooks a beautiful valley and river with partial views of Tavira. It is a 3 minute ride into town and the beautiful sights there. The villa itself is outstanding and 5 star in every respect. New spacious bathrooms in every bedroom. Gourmet kitchen and beautiful grilling are by the pool. The view out into the back yard is stunning overlooking the blue water pool. Orange, lemon, tangerine, avocado and almond trees abound on the 10 + acre site. Fresh squeezed orange juice every day when in season. A truly outstanding villa. You will not be disappointed it you stay there.

Lovely relaxing holiday, beautiful pool & garden,
We have holidayed many times in Portugal & had day visited Tavira before but this was the first time we holidayed in the area - loved it! Our party of 4 (2 couples in our 60's) were delighted with Quinta Mimosa. Its location is quiet & secluded but offers easy access into the town itself. The pool & huge grounds are superb, the BBQ area enticed us into staying in on a few nights when we enjoyed fish brought from the local market with a few glasses of Planalto (my wife's favourite Portuguese white wine). There are plenty of nearby restaurants to chose from if you don't wish to cook. A choice of golf courses nearby too! We think the villa was renovated a few years ago & some parts were just a little tired as was the pool loungers but this is really a minor criticism & the only thing that stops us rating it 5 star. We are quite discerning & we genuinely loved the villa & intend to return next year. The manager (Dina) is always on hand to help & advise. In conclusion we had probably our best ever holiday in Portugal & we have visited over 20 times. Stephen C

Absolutely stunning place! We really felt at home.
Found the home very stylish and incredibly comfortable. Slept well, and enjoined the various spaces within and outside the house. It was easy to find, and certainly easy to stay. The difficult part was leaving! Thanks for making our Tavira trip so special.

Een paradijs
Wij hebben met onze 2 dochters van 9 en 11 jaar 10 dagen genoten van dit prachtige huis. We werden heel gastvrij ontvangen en er was zelfs gezorgd voor water, vers fruit en andere eerste benodigdheden. De tuinman is erg vriendelijk en verzorgt elke dag alles rondom het huis. Het huis heeft echt alles wat je je maar kunt wensen. De ligging is landelijk, heel rustig en mooi. Ongeveer 10 autominuten van het centrum van Tavira. Heel goed te doen. Het heeft een grote en goed onderhouden tuin met een heerlijk groot zwembad. Ook de buitenkeuken met bbq is van alle gemakken voorzien. Het huis zelf heeft echt alles wat je nodig hebt. zelfs meer dan dat! Het is een goede uitvalsbasis voor de omgeving te verkennen. auto is wel een must. Kortom....wij hebben een fantastische vakantie gehad op een paradijslijk plekje, waar we graag nog een keer naar terug gaan.

A magnificent villa on a big estate in Tavira, Algarve Region, Portugal
This magnificent spectacular villa offers everything that you would find in a five stars Hotel and more. It has all the amenities : tennis court, gym, swimming pool with built-in bar and barbecue. The friendly gardener Emanuel welcomed us warmly and brought us fresh strawberries and eggs every morning. The villa is immaculate and extremely clean, it comes with a state of the art fully equipped California kitchen. The house is furnished with style and high standard quality. It is surrounded with beautiful gardens, flowers, trees and you can pick your own fruits, vegetables and herbs. I particularly enjoyed reading in the library room with stunning views from all big bay windows and lounging by the swimming pool. The villa is a short drive to Tavira Centre where you would find many great local fish and seafood restaurants. My husband and I had the most wonderful time and would make this quaint villa on the big estate on top of our lists for future vacations.
