Our stay at this property in Tavira was wonderful. Gail was a great host who communicated with us so well. This well equipped, modern property was just what my husband and teenage girls wanted. A short walk into the township of Tavira and eateries just down the road if you prepared to eat closer to home.
Lovely swimming pool and during the heatwave the air conditioning was appreciated greatly. This is a lovely place to stay and would highly recommend this property 😀
Very nice property. Nothing fancy, but everything you need. Comfortable beds and adrquately equiped kitchen. Property manager was prompt to reply to any questions via WhatsApp.
I loved Gail's property. It is perfectly situated in a quiet residential area. The walk into town is no problem although down & up many steps. The complex is well cared for and the apartment overlooks the expansive pool and grounds. It is a well planned spacious property aapartment

We zijn niet ontvangen door het agentschap omdat er een feestdag was. Het zoeken via de telefoon met de eigenaresse verliep zeer moeizaam en was zeer verwarrend. Verder was er uit 1 bed een plank, waardoor een flinke kuil in matras. Vervolgens hadden we beperkt aantal handdoeken en slechts 1 theedoek en 1 poetsdoeken gevonden. Van het agentschap hebben we de hele week niets gehoord. Echter het penthouse mooi en heel fijn gesitueerd bij het zwembad en er was voldoende parkeergelegenheid voor het gebouw.
We have stayed in the complex before but not this apartment so knew what to expect. Apartment was lovely and big, and nicely furnished throughout. We loved stargazing on the roof and the balcony overlooking the pools was lovely. We would definitely stay here again. Check in was thorough and friendly.
The only things we would like a little different were that the mattress covers on the bed we assume were waterproof and they crunched loudly every time you moved which wasn’t nice. And in the kitchen, a supply of fairy liquid and enough dishwasher tabs for one a day would be an added touch so you don’t have to go out and buy them just for a couple of days.
These are tiny details though and clearly would not stop us returning!
The complex is beautifully maintained, pool clean, people nice, and tavira is stunning, but we knew that already hence returning!
We had 6 lovely days in Tavira and fell in love with the place. Felt such an authentic place, not too busy or touristy and stunning. The apartment was lovely, met our needs perfectly and the proximity to the pool was brilliant. The roof top terrace a real bonus - although needs better lighting at night!
We will be back I think, it’s a special place
A lovely stay in a very nice apartment in a great location.
Apartment met all expectations and had everything we could need. Had a lovely view over the very quiet pool area and then onto Tavira itself. Tavira is a great place with lots of bars and restaurants with spectacular beaches within easy reach on a lovely boat trip on which we saw beautiful Flamingos on the salt flats. Town is easily accessed from the apartment by a short 10/15 minute walk along the river. However this does involve 108 steps which is great going down and manageable coming back. Surrounding coastal area is fabulous (Cacela Velha) and is certainly worth a visit. We really enjoyed our visit and would definitely return and recommend to friends.
This apartment is located an easy walk into the old town of Tavira and close to restaurants. We loved the brightness of the apartment and the outdoor spaces. It was an ideal location for getting out of town on our bikes (which was the main reason for our visit). Gail is a wonderful owner/host and very attentive. Any concerns are dealt with in a timely fashion. We would stay here again. Thank you for your hospitality Gail.
This place has it all - the view from the fabulous rooftop terrace equipped with loungers, BBQ and dining area, large clean pool, the comfortable living room, well equipped kitchen, beautiful big bathrooms and electronic blackout blinds. BUT, where is the Portuguese welcome we were expecting - bottle of wine, bread, cheese that our friends enjoyed at their place? We couldnt even find salt and pepper, no basic spices or condiments anywhere. This would have been REALLY nice, given that there is a large hill to navigate to the nearest store with no car. The master bedroom needs a queen or king bed since the room can certainly accomodate larger than the existing double. All the pillows need replacement with at least 2 per person in each bed room (flat and lumpy they all are). These little things would have elevated the place to where it claims to be price wise. Otherwise, a comfortable, lovely stay.
We really enjoyed staying in this beautiful apartment in Tavira from January 29 to February 13. Spacious apartment with two bedrooms and bathrooms, spacious living room with spacious kitchen with all amenities. There is a beautiful roof terrace with sun loungers and (gas) BBQ. We were kindly welcomed by the 'manager' Dulce and Joao who showed us around and had good tips for trips in the area. Furthermore, they were very helpful if something needed to be resolved, such as a defective coffee machine, great! We had very pleasant email exchanges with the owner, Gail, about the booking. The apartment is located on a hill and via a staircase you can reach the center of the beautiful and cozy town of Tavira with delicious restaurants in a 15-minute walk. We have been to Tavira many times, but always in a hotel. We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment and are going to book it for three weeks next year.
We had an excellent holiday, partly due to our stay in this penthouse, Dulce, Joao and Gail, many thanks,

We had a fantastic time , rooftop deck was the best . The pool was very close for easy access and never busy . The proximity to the old town was perfect and driving around .and parking at the condo was very easy . The master suite could use a larger bed and a little update for the tap . A few little things like no garbage bags or laundry soap or dishwasher soap would help out . A good cleaning and window wash would be great . Overall we had a great time thank you Gail .
We had a short stay at the house but we absolutely love it! We were already excited from the moment we booked it and it was amazing to see everything matched and even surpassed our expectations! The place was clean, fully equipped, with amazing areas and exclusive roof top. The shared pool was great as well. It was never too crowded and the surrounding area was very quiet. Super close to the centre of Tavira, just a 10min walk. Can’t wait to go back!
The accommodation was perfect, clean, tidy and had everything we could possibly need. The roof top terrace was the icing on the cake.
The pool was never busy or over crowed great to relax and let the children play safely.
Communication with the host has been easy.
We were met at the apartment on arrival and given all the information we needed.
Was just perfect
Hoping to return in the future… thank you
This was our second time staying in the apartment and we loved it just as much as the first. Plenty of room, had everything we needed and very easy to communicate with Gail. We’ll be back!
We had a great time in Tavira and loved the penthouse. It was very well equiped, comfortable, homely and modern. The roof terrace was superb and the electric awning meant sun to shade was easy. The pool was also excellent and just a few steps from the door. We will definitely stay again. Thank you Gail.
The apartment is spacious, light and airy and well equipped. The kitchen was excellent. The roof terrace is large and well furnished with a table and chairs and sun loungers. The communal pool is big enough to satisfy most swimmers and was warm enough and empty enough to be readily available. This is perfect for a holiday and it is only 15 minutes walk to the lively and atmospheric centre of Tavira. .
We had a wonderful stay at Gail's Penthouse - the apartment is very comfortable and well equipped. The roof terrace is great with lots of space for sunbathing, eating or just relaxing.
Location is very good, only a 10-15 min walk into town and also easy access from the main road if travelling around the area.
Communication with the host was excellent.
Would highly recommend.
We had eight wonderful days staying at Gail’s place in Tavira. The location is perfect, as it is within
a very quiet modern residential area yet within easy reach of the town. It also has the advantage of being higher up so the air feels fresher.
The furnishings and appliances are all very modern and functioned well, the beds comfortable. It is in immaculate condition. Gail responded quickly to a few emailed general questions about the area.
Parking on the one way road was easy, and it was very easy to get onto the ring road.
We enjoyed the pool and landscaped gardens, stargazed on the roof at night.

We pride ourselves on having furnished it to a high standard for everybody to enjoy and be comfortable in. Our aim is for you to have a fantastic holiday and we do everything we can to ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible.
