Great location, outstanding accommodation

We were 4 seniors and we thoroughly enjoyed staying in Jose’s house. We could walk everywhere. The house was clean, nicely decorated and equiped with all the amenities you could possibly want. It is certainly one of the top vacation rentals we have had. The only negative is that you can’t park a car at the unit. We knew that it in advance and took Jose’s advise on where to park, which worked out well and was less than 5 minute walk. Would highly recommend.

Best location

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the townhouse. The location in the centre of Tavira was unbeatable: everything we could want access to was within a 15 minute walk. Very comfortable too.

Perfect Place

Beautiful and well appointed house, absolutely charming, in a prime location close to everything but just off the heavily traveled paths. 100% walkable. Paid day parking (9am - 7pm) right in front, free after/until. Free parking available within 3/4 minute walk to near/around Sao Francisco church. Owner/manager easy, helpful, and accommodating. Impeccably clean. Great showers. Very cool patio space with spiral stairs up to rooftop 2nd patio. Price was right. Highly recommend this house. Will absolutely be our home in Tavira whenever I visit so just make sure you don't go at the same time as we do!

Lovely Townhouse!

Very private yet seconds from the center. We loved the rooftop terrace with the view of a stork's nest. Jose and Diana were most accommodating and a pleasure to deal with. We stayed 5 nights and the townhouse was equipped with everything one might need. Loved it! Michaelann & Rob, USA, May 2023

Perfect location

This was a wonderful stay. I got lost driving into Tavira from Lisbon but that was just a lack of familiarity and probably underestimated the travel time by not including time for gas stops and a snack. The setting was excellent and the apartment was comfortable and charming. Jose was excellent, informative , and accomadating even though offsite. I would recommend this as a place to stay to anyone!

Right in Town!

This cute apartment sleeps 4 comfortably and the kitchen living area was fully equipped for everything we needed. Within seconds to everything restaurants and pharmacy and minutes to edges of downtown. Only 2 things that hung us up - there is no parking at the house so we had to move the car around; and, the hot water in the showers had one temperature - hot. It didn’t seem to be possible to adjust it. These things should not keep you from renting this outstanding property, just good to know.

Amazing place and location!

The apartment is absolutely perfectly placed with everything at a 5-10 minute walking distance. It's in a cute side street, right off the main street in the old part of Tavira! My girlfriend and I only had 1 issue with the place overall.. and that was the mattress. it's a bit dated and still has springs which meant we didn't get the best rest after lots of walking, and woke up pretty sore. We couldn't have asked for a better place & host, but we hope they can upgrade the mattress for the next time or next guests! :)

Muy Recomendable

Fuimos cuatro amigas ahora a finales de junio, con cierta edad y queríamos comodidad, que fuera céntrico y fácil de acceder a zonas de compras, ferry etc. El apartamento tiene todo eso y mucho más, realmente nos encantó a todas y su propietario super amable en todo momento. Vacaciones para repetir

An Outstanding House in Tavira

We loved every moment of our four-day stay in Jose’s home!!! Perfectly located, perfectly clean, and plenty of room. It really felt like home, not a sterile vacation rental. The well equipped kitchen was a nice bonus!!

A very honest and admiral landlord

The property was exactly as described. Very conveniently located and had everything you could need. We had a very local and unplanned issue which caused us some incovience during our stay. Once we informed Jose about it he done everything within his power to sort. His local hostess was less helpful, but as mentioned above once Jose got involved it was resolved as best he could. The issue I believe is now resolved and anyone looking at this property should know with confidence that the owner is an honest and very honourable landlord

Fabulous apartment in Tavira!

We rented Jose’s apartment in Tavira for 12 nights and enjoyed every minute. The apartment is very comfortable with a well equipped kitchen, nice living area and updated bathrooms. The beds were very comfortable as well, although the pillows were a little small for our liking. The apartment is an easy walk to everything in Tavira. We had a car and used the apartment as our base to explore the Algarve. The outdoor space was perfect for grilling the odd fish and chicken dish. We would definitely stay at this property again.

Modern, Great Location, Minor Bumps

This apartment has been renovated nicely and is in an excellent location very close to town center. In our minds, it's the little things that made it okay instead of excellent: we had a few complications with the person responsible for checking us in and the floors were dirtier than we would have expected. This is the 4th apartment we've stayed at in Portugal, but the only one we experienced a sign asking us not to flush toilet paper down the toilet. But again, it's a nice facility with modern conveniences. Communication with the host was excellent, very responsive. In fairness, we did not bring up any of these issues during our stay since we did consider them minor, so he did not have a chance to address.

Recomendo para uma estadia memorável.

Tavira ainda é um recanto do Algarve que se mantém hospitaleiro. As pessoas e os pormenores levam-nos a sentir em casa, pelo menos num ambiente próximo e rústico, tão raro hoje em dia. A casa é exatamente igual, sentimo-nos em casa, com uma harmonia entre o rústico e o moderno, com um bom gosto enorme. A localização é excelente. O cuidado e as informações relevantes dadas pela Diana são muito convidativas a passear pelas redondezas... E nós vimos tudo! O dono da casa sempre se manifestou atento e cuidadoso, tal como se vê em todos os detalhes da sua, e nossa, casa. A repetir e a recomendar vivamente. Obrigado pela estadia inesquecível!

About the host

Hosted by José

We live in Lisbon. We are teachers in a high school and a public college. We have two daughters.

Why they chose this property

My family love Tavira. For some time we have spent holidays and weekends in Tavira. In 2004, we bought a little private home just in the centre of Tavira near the Gilao river, the bridges (the "Veneza" of Algarve), the churches, the beaches, the mountain, etc.
